Two parallel-plate capacitors, identical except that one has twice the plate separation of the other, are charged by the same vo

Answer:

The capacitor having less distance of separation has a stronger electric field.

Explanation:

The capacitors are identical and only difference between them is that one has twice the plate separation of the other. Therefore, capacitance of the given capacitors C1 and C2 is,

C1= Aε/d  and C2=Aε/2d

The charges Q1 and Q2 on the capacitors of capacitance C1 and C2 respectively, is then given by the equation,

Q1=VC1

Q1=VAε/d

Q2=VC2

Q2=VAε/2d

Therefore, the surface charge density σ1 and σ2 for the capacitors is,

σ1=Q1/A

σ1=VAε/(d*A)

σ1=Vε/d

Similarly,

σ2=Q2/A

σ2=Vε/2d

The electric field between the plates is directly proportional to the surface charge density. And so electric field is inversely proportional to the distance of separation. Therefore the capacitor whose distance of separation is less has a stronger electric field.

What is instantaneous speed nd velocity​
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Instantaneous speed is the exact speed that an object in motion has at a given instant in time.

Instantaneous velocity is the exact velocity that an object in motion has at a given instant in time.

Explanation:

Instantaneous velocity tells how fast an object is moving anywhere along its path.

Instantaneous speed at an instant is equal to the magnitude of the instantaneous velocity at that instant.

Answer:

The fall in temperature of the liquid is 8.6 +/- 0.1 ⁰C

Explanation:

Given;

initial temperature of the liquid, t₁ = 76.3  +/-  0.4⁰C

final temperature of the liquid, t₂ = 67.7  +/-  0.3⁰C

The change in temperature of the liquid is calculated as;

Δt = t₂  -  t₁

Δt = (67.7 - 76.3)  +/-  (0.3 - 0.4)

Δt = (-8.6)  +/-  (-0.1)

Δt = 8.6 +/- 0.1 ⁰C

Therefore, the fall in temperature of the liquid is 8.6 +/- 0.1 ⁰C

The average intensity of sunlight at the top of the earth's atmosphere in 1390 w/m2. what is the maximum energy that a 34-m x 46
slavikrds [6]
Panel surface area =34m×46m=1,564m^2
total power =1564m^2×1390w/m^2
=2173960watts
now you must calculate total energy.
Energy = power×Time
However time must be in seconds so we multiply 2hrs×60min×60s=7200seconds
7200s×2173960w =15,652,512,000 joules of energy

The gravitational force between Earth and the Sun is a two-way force. Both the planet and the Sun attract each other. However, E
Ymorist [56]

The correct choice would be

B) The Sun’s mass is much greater than Earth’s

The sun as we know has greatest mass in our solar system and lighter objects tends to orbit around the heavier objects. the mass of earth is very much smaller as compared to that of the sun. hence the earth orbits around the sun due to the force of gravitational attraction between the two objects.

Particle 1 has mass 4.6 kg and is on the x-axis at x = 5.7 m. Particle 2 has mass 7.2 kg and is on the y-axis at y = 4.2 m. Part
Iteru [2.4K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Gravitational Force, for this purpose it is understood that the gravitational force is described as

F_g = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Force

m_i = Mass of each object

To solve this problem it is necessary to divide the gravitational force (x, y) into the required components and then use the tangent to find the angle generated between both components.

Our values are given as,

m_1 =4.6 kg\\m_2 = 7.2 kg\\m_3 = 2.6 kg\\r_1 = 5.7 m\\r_2 = 4.2 m

Applying the previous equation at X-Axis,

F_x = \frac{Gm_1m_3}{R_{1}^2}\\F_x = \frac{6.67*10^{-11}*4.6*2.6}{5.7^2}\\F_x = 2.46*10^{-11}N

Applying the previous equation at Y-Axis,

F_y = \frac{Gm_2m_3}{R_2^2}\\F_y = \frac{6.67*10^{-11}*7.2*2.6}{4.2^2}\\F_y = 7.08*10^{-11} N

Therefore the angle can be calculated as,

tan\theta = \frac{F_y}{F_x}\\\theta = tan^{-1} \frac{F_y}{F_x}\\\theta = tan^{-1} \frac{7.08*10^{-11}}{2.46*10^{-11}}\\\theta = 71\°

Then in the measure contrary to the hands of the clock the Force in the particle 3 is in between the positive direction of the X and the negative direction of the Y at 71 ° from the positive x-axis.
