A 100 pF capacitor has circular plates of 10.0 cm radius that are 5.0 mm apart and have air beteween them. The capacitor is charged by connecting it to a 12.0 V battery through a 1.0 ohms resistor.

a) Determine the current through the plates at t = 0 (when the battery is connected)

b) Determine the current through the plates at t = 60s?

c) Determine the rate at which the electric field between the plates changes at t= 0 and t = 60s

d) Determine the magnetic field between the plates at t = 0 and at t = 60s


Don't really care about the answers as much, but more about what formulas are being used.

Thanks!

A rectangular footing 2.0 m by 3.0 m is built in a homogeneous bed of sand of having bulk unit weight 20 kN/m3 and saturated unit weight 21 kN/m3 with an angle of shearing resistance of (30+Y)o. The depth of the base of footing is 1.8 m below the ground surface and water table is located at a depth of 1.0m below the base of the foundation. Consider the factor of safety of 3. Use Terzaghi’s Analysis

  1. Justify the adequacy of the footing if the proposed design load on the foundation is 1500 kN.                                                                                                                             
  1. Calculate the safe load can be carried by the footing if the water table is located at a depth 1.0 m below the ground Level.

Your task is to value Shake Shack's (SHAK’s) stock. Shake Shack's next dividend (i.e., the dividend at t =
1) is expected to be $3.25. Across years 2 and 3 and 4, dividends will grow by 7%/year. After that, dividends
are projected to grow at a constant rate of 3% forever. SHAK has a debt-to-equity ratio (in market-value
terms) of 1.0. The yield to maturity on SHAK's bonds averages 4% and the company's tax rate is 30%. If the
risk-free rate is 2.2%, the market risk premium is 6%, and SHAK's equity beta is 1.25, what should the stock
sell for today based on a discounted valuation of its projected dividends?

Given the following UML class diagram, implement the class as described by the model. Use your best judgment when implementing the code inside of each method.

+---------------------------------------------------+
| Polygon |
+---------------------------------------------------+
| - side_count : int = 3 |
| - side_length : double = 1.0 |
+---------------------------------------------------+
| + Polygon() |
| + Polygon(side_count : int) |
| + Polygon(side_count : int, side_length : double) |

| + setSides(side_count : int) |
| + getSideLength() : double |
| + setSideLength(side_length : double) |

+---------------------------------------------------+

The following information might also be useful:

- The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of it's side lengths.
- Side counts of less than 3 are meaningless for a polygon, and should not be accepted.
- Side lengths of less than 0 are meaningless for a polygon, and should not be accepted.

Drag measurements were taken for a 5 cm diameter sphere in water at 20 °C to predict the drag force of a 1 m diameter balloon rising in air with standard temperature and pressure. Given kinematic viscosity of water (v) = 1.0 X 10-6 m2/s and kinematic viscosity of air (v) = 1.46 X 10-5 m2/s.

  1. Perform the Buckingham Pi theorem to generate a relationship for FD as a function of the independent variables. Assume the drag FD is a function of diameter (d), velocity (V), fluid density (ρ) and kinematic viscosity (v)

2.Determine the sphere velocity if the balloon was rising at 3 m/s

Most geologists believe that the dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago when a large comet or asteroid struck the earth, throwing up so much dust that the sun was blocked out for a period of many months. Suppose an asteroid with a diameter of 2.0 km and a mass of 1.0 ×1013 kg hits the earth (6.0×1024 kg) with an impact speed of 4.2 ×104 m/s.

Part A) What is the earth’s recoil speed after such a collision? (Use a reference frame in which the earth was initially at rest.)

Part B) What percentage is this of the earth’s speed around the sun? The earth orbits the sun at a distance of 1.5×1011 m.

"A mass, denoted M, slides downward along a rough plane surface inclined at angle of 25.94 in degrees relative to the horizontal. Initially the mass has a speed of 7.51 m/s, before it slides a distance of 1.0 m down the incline. During this sliding, the magnitude of the power associated with the work done by friction is equal to the magnitude of the power associated with the work done by the gravitational force. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the mass and the incline?"

Edit: After some more studying, I found out the answer. However, since I don't know how to remove a question, please work I out so that others (and myself) will know for future reference.
