A parallel-plate capacitor in air has a plate separation of 1.25 cm and a plate area of 25.0 cm2. The plates are charged to a potential difference of 244 V and disconnected from the source. The capacitor is then immersed in distilled water. Assume that distilled water is an insulator.
(a) What is the charge on the plates before immersion?
What is the charge on the plates after immersion?
(b) What is the capacitance after immersion?
What is the potential difference after immersion?

(c) What is the change in energy of the capacitor?
?U = Uwater - Uair = 5 nJ

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. there are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 5.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated challenger in june 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.
