A parallel-plate capacitor connected to a battery becomes fully charged. After the capacitor from the battery is disconnected, t

he separation between the plates of the capacitor is doubled in such a way that no charge leaks off. How is the energy stored in the capacitor affected? A.) The energy stored in the capacitor quadruples its original value. B.) The energy stored in the capacitor remains constant. C.)The energy stored in the capacitor doubles its original value. D.)The energy stored in the capacitor is decreased to one-fourth of its original value. E.)The energy stored in the capacitor is decreased to one-half of its original value

Answer:

C.)The energy stored in the capacitor doubles its original value.

Explanation:

The capacitance of a capacitor is given by:

C₁ = ∈A/d...............................(1)

If the distance between the plates is doubled

C₂ = ∈A/2d.............................(2a)

From equations (1) and (2), the relationship between C₁ and C₂ is:

C₂ = C₁/2....................................(2b)

The original  Energy stored in the capacitor is given by :

E₁ = Q²/2C₁...............................(3)

On doubling the separation between the capacitance plates

E₂ = Q²/2C₂...............................(4a)

E₂ = Q²/2  *  1/C₂........................(4b)

Putting equation (2b) into (4b)

E₂ = Q²/2  *  2/C₁

E₂ = Q²/C₁.....................................(5)

Comparing equations (3) and (5)

E₂ = 2E₁

Therefore, the energy stored in the capacitor doubles its original value

Explain the Big Bang and how it started
AlexFokin [52]

The big bang is how astronomers explain the way the universe began. It is the idea that the universe began as just a single point, then expanded and stretched to grow as large as it is right now (and it could still be stretching).

Why a raw egg shell disolves when submerge in vineger
quester [9]
If you soak this egg shell in vinegar (which is about 4% acetic acid), you start a chemical reaction that dissolves the calcium carbonate shell. The acetic acid reacts with the calcium carbonate in the egg shell and releases carbon dioxide gas that you see as bubbles on the shell.

A girl throws a marshmallow that lands in her friend’s mouth 2 m away. The girl threw the marshmallow at an angle of 30 degrees.
natima [27]

She threw the marshmallow at a speed of around 4.76 m/s.The formula for the horizontal range gives the velocity.

<h3>What is projectile motion?</h3>

The motion of an item hurled or projected into the air, subject only to gravity's acceleration, is known as projectile motion.

The item is known as a projectile, and the course it takes is known as a trajectory. Falling object motion is a simple one-dimensional kind of projectile motion with no horizontal movement.

Given data;

The marshmallow was thrown at a distance of 2 meters

Range,R =  3 m

Initial velocity,u

The angle at which the marshmallow was thrown,θ = 30°

The acceleration due to gravity,g = 9.81 m/s²

The projectile's motion is divided into two parts: horizontal and vertical motion.

\rm R = \frac{u^2sin2 \theta }{g} \\\\ \rm R  = \frac{u^2sin2 \times (30) }{9.81} \\\\ u^2=\frac{2 \times 9.81 }{sin 60^0} \\\\ u^2=22.66 \\\\ u=4.76 \ m/sec

Hence, she throws the marshmallow at a speed of 4.76 m/sec.

What is the average velocity of an arrow that travels 12 m [E] in 0.15 s?
sergij07 [2.7K]
Velocity is defined as Distance divided by Time.
In other words, V = D/T.

Now that we have our formula, we can solve.
Let's plug in the numbers we have.

We have 12m [East (direction not necessary when solving yet)] for our distance, and 0.15s as our time.

Divide the distance (12 /) by the time (0.15)
12 / 0.15 = 80.

Your velocity is 80 m/s [E]

I hope this helps!
