Mechanical energy is the answer
Answer:
The charge stored in the capacitor will stay the same. However, the electric potential across the two plates will increase. (Assuming that the permittivity of the space between the two plates stays the same.)
Explanation:
The two plates of this capacitor are no longer connected to each other. As a result, there's no way for the charge on one plate to move to the other.
, the amount of charge stored in this capacitor, will stay the same.
The formula
relates the electric potential across a capacitor to:
, the charge stored in the capacitor, and
, the capacitance of this capacitor.
While
stays the same, moving the two plates apart could affect the potential
by changing the capacitance
of this capacitor. The formula for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is:
,
where
is the permittivity of the material between the two plates.
is the area of each of the two plates.
is the distance between the two plates.
Assume that the two plates are separated with vacuum. Moving the two plates apart will not affect the value of
. Neither will that change the area of the two plates.
However, as
(the distance between the two plates) increases, the value of
will become smaller. In other words, moving the two plates of a parallel-plate capacitor apart would reduce its capacitance.
On the other hand, the formula
can be rewritten as:
.
The value of
(charge stored in this capacitor) stays the same. As the value of
becomes smaller, the value of the fraction will become larger. Hence, the electric potential across this capacitor will become larger as the two plates are moved away from one another.
Answer:
C: You must know force and distance to calculate both.
Explanation:
A force is said to have done work, when it has succeeded in causing displacement in an object from its starting point.
Power can be defined as the rate of doing work.
The work can be calculated using the following formula:
Work done = Force × Displacement
The power can be calculated using the following formula:
Power = Work \ Time
In order to calculate the work and power, the force and distance should be known. The force and distance will help in the calculating the work, which will in turn help in the calculation of the power of the object.
Hence, the answer is you must know force and distance to calculate both.
Answer:
Explanation:
Let r be the rate of the slower walker in mph
[r + (r + 1.7)](2) = 13
(2r + 1.7)(2) = 13
4r + 3.4 = 13
4r = 9.6
r = 2.4 mph
r + 1.7 = 4.1 mph
