Answer:

V_1=8 V_2

Explanation:

Given that:

  • Area of the plate of capacitor 1= Area of the plate of capacitor 2=A
  • separation distance of capacitor 2, d_2=d
  • separation distance of capacitor 1, d_1=2d
  • quantity of charge on capacitor 2, Q_2=Q
  • quantity of charge on capacitor 1, Q_1=4Q

We know that the Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area and inversely proportional to the distance of separation.

Mathematically given as:

C=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}.....................................(1)

where:

k = relative permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates= 1 for air

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\,F.m^{-1}

From eq. (1)

For capacitor 2:

C_2=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}

For capacitor 1:

C_1=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}

C_1=\frac{1}{2} [ \frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}]

We know, potential differences across a capacitor is given by:

V=\frac{Q}{C}..........................................(2)

where, Q = charge on the capacitor plates.

for capacitor 2:

V_2=\frac{Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}}

V_2=\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}

& for capacitor 1:

V_1=\frac{4Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}}

V_1=\frac{4Q\times 2d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}

V_1=8\times [\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}]

V_1=8 V_2

At the circus, a 100.-kilogram clown is fired at 15 meters per second from a 500.- kilogram cannon. What is the recoil speed of
photoshop1234 [79]

The recoil velocity of cannon is (4) 5.0 m/s

Explanation:

We can find the recoil velocity from the law of conservation of momentum.

The recoil velocity is velocity of body 2 after release of body 1, i.e. velocity of cannon after release of clown.

Let v2 be cannon's velocity, v1 be clown's velocity given = 15 m/sec

m1 be clown's mass = 100kg and m2 be cannon's mass given = 500kg.

So recoil velocity of cannon v2 is given by,

v2 = -(m1÷m2)v1

v2 = -(100÷500)15

v2 = -5 m/s

where the minus sign refers to the direction of cannon's recoil velocity being opposite to that of clown.

Hence, option (4)5.0 m/s is the correct answer.
