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.

Sloan [31]
A)Ep'=mgh=mgl(1-cosa).At the bottom of the swing Ep=0(reference level),so the potential energy as the child is just released is bigger than the potential energy at the bottom of the swing.;B)The speed of the child at the bottom of the swing-->v=√(2gh)=√[2gl(1-cosa)];C)I don't think that the tension does any work.

The momentum of the second ball was 15 kg.m/s.

<h3>What is inelastic collision?</h3>

In which collision some amount of kinetic energy of the system is lost that called inelastic collision. In purely inelastic collision, two bodies stick together. But principle of conservation of linear momentum is obeyed.

In the given question,

Two balls collide and after collision, the final momentum of the system = 18 kg.m/s.

Initial velocity of 1st ball of mass 3 kg is 1 m/s.

So, Initial momentum of first ball = mass × velocity = (3 kg) × (1 m/s) = 3 kg.m/s.

According to Principle of conservation of linear momentum for this inelastic collision,

Initial momentum of first ball + initial momentum of second ball =  final momentum of the system

⇒   initial momentum of second ball =   final momentum of the system - Initial momentum of first ball

= 18 kg.m/s - 3 kg.m/s.

= 15 kg.m/s.

Hence, initial momentum of second ball = 15 kg.m/s.
