A parallel-plate capacitor initially has a potential difference of 400 V and is then disconnected from the charging battery. If

the plate spacing is now doubled (without changing Q), what is the new value of the voltage?

The capacitance of a capacitor is the ratio of the stored charge to its potential difference, i.e.

C = Q/ΔV

C is the capacitance

Q is the stored charge

ΔV is the potential difference

Rearrange the equation:

ΔV = Q/C

We also know the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

C = κε₀A/d

C is the capacitance

κ is the capacitor's dielectric constant

ε₀ is the electric constant

A is the area of the plates

d is the plate separation

If we substitute C:

ΔV = Qd/(κε₀A)

We assume the stored charge and the area of the plates don't change. Then if we double the plate spacing, i.e. we double the value of d, then the potential difference ΔV is also doubled.

Student pushes a 50 N block across the floor for a distance of 15 m how much work was done to move the block
Talja [164]

Answer:

750 J

Explanation:

We have a student that pushes a 50N block  across the floor for a distance of 15m. The question is asking how much work was done to move the block.

To solve this, we must know that we are looking for a certain thing called joules. And to get the answer, we must follow the formula of W = FS

F being the force and S being the distance.

W = FS

W = (50)(15)

W = 750

Therefore, 750 joules is our answer.

an airplane flies at a speed of 100 m/s and starts to accelerate constantly at a rate of 50 m/s2. how fast is the plane flying a
mart [117]

Answer:

331.7m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 100m/s

Acceleration  = 50m/s²

Distance  = 1km   = 1000m

Unknown:

Final velocity = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we have to apply the right motion equation shown below;

     v²  = u²  + 2aS

 v is the final velocity

 u is the initial velocity

 a is the acceleration

 S is the distance

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

     v² = 100² + (2 x 50 x 1000)

     v² = 110000

     v = √110000  = 331.7m/s

The average rate of disappearance of ozone in the reaction is
olasank [31]

Answer:

1.3 x 10^(-2) atm/s

Explanation:

It follows the stoichiometry. For every mole of O3 that disappears, 1.5 moles (that is, 3/2) of O2 appears:

1.5 * 0.009 atm/s = 0.0135 atm/sec; the answer is 1.3 x 10^(-2) atm/s
