Answer:
Introducing a dielectric into a capacitor decreases the electric field, which decreases the voltage, which increases the capacitance.
Explanation:
A dielectric (or dielectric material) is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. When a dielectric material is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization
Types of dielectric material

Answer:
581 kJ, work was done by the system
Explanation:
According to the first law of thermodynamics:

where
is the change in internal energy of the system
Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released)
W is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding)
In this problem,


Therefore the work done by the system is

And the positive sign means the work is done BY the system.
Answer:
5.88×10⁸ W
Explanation:
Power = change in energy / time
P = mgh / t
P = (m/t) gh
P = (1.2×10⁶ kg/s) (9.8 m/s²) (50.0 m)
P = 5.88×10⁸ W
Yes!
I think there are two ways you could go with this answer:
1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse.
2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.
