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

A 15g bullet is fired horizontally into a 3kg block of wood suspended by a long cord. Assume that the bullet remains in the bloc
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

261.3 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of bullet=m=15 g=\frac{15}{1000}=0.015 kg

1 kg=1000g

Mass of block=M=3 kg

d=0.086 m

Total mass =M+m=3+0.015=3.015 kg

K.E at the time strike=Gravitational potential energy at the end of swing

\frac{1}{2}(m+M)^2V^2=(m+M)gh

Using g=9.8m/s^2

Substitute the values

\frac{1}{2}(3.015)V^2=3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086

V^2=\frac{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}{3.015}

V=\sqrt{2\times 3.015\times 9.8\times 0.086}}

V=1.3m/s

Velocity after collision=V=1.3 m/s

Velocity of block=v'=0

Using conservation law of momentum

mv+Mv'=(m+M)V

Using the formula

0.015v+3(0)=3.015(1.3)

0.015v=3.015(1.3)

v^2=\frac{3.015(1.3)}{0.015}=261.3

v=261.3 m/s

Air resistance is an example of what type of friction?
Sav [38]
Well, Air resistance is a special type of friction (you cannot classify it in other categories). That force of air-resistance is often observed to oppose the motion of the object,( like every other frictional forces)

A branch falls from a tree how fast is the branch moving after drug .28 seconds
alexdok [17]
Acceleration=9.81m/s^2
initial velocity=0m/s
time=.28s

We have to find final velocity.

The equation we use is

Final velocity=initial velocity+acceleration x time

Vf=0m/s+(9.81m/s^2)(.28s)
Vf=2.7468m/s

We would round this to:

Vf (final velocity)=2.7m/s
