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 wave with a period of 0.008 second has a frequency of?
tatyana61 [14]
The formula for frequency is f = 1/T where f is frequency and T is period in seconds. 
You have you period which is 0.008s and that is all you will need to solve or frequency in a wave:
f = 1/2
f = 1/0.008s
f = 125Hz

A satellite that goes around the earth once every 24 hours iscalled a geosynchronous satellite. If a geosynchronoussatellite is
lesantik [10]

Answer:

35870474.30504 m

Explanation:

r = Distance from the surface

T = Time period = 24 h

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

m = Mass of the Earth =  5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Radius of Earth = 6.38\times 10^6\ m

The gravitational force will balance the centripetal force

\dfrac{GMm}{R^2}=m\dfrac{v^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}}

From Kepler's law we have relation

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{GM}\\\Rightarrow r^3=\dfrac{T^2GM}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\dfrac{(24\times 3600)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{4\pi^2}\right)^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=42250474.30504\ m

Distance from the center of the Earth would be

42250474.30504-6.38\times 10^6=\mathbf{35870474.30504\ m}

A fan cart with the fan set to high rolled across the floor. The cart's speeds with the fan on high are shown below. If the fan
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Speed of cart's might be less than the high speed after 5 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that,

A fan cart with the fan set to high rolled across the floor.

Let the speed of fan cart with set to high is x\ cm per second.

The fan supplies a force to the cart. If a lower fan speed were used, less force would be applied. This would cause a slower change in the cart's speed. So, the cart would be rolling more slowly than x\ cm per second after 5 seconds. The speed of cart's might be less than x\ cm per second.

Force is needed

A. for a moving object to keep moving at the same speed and direction

B. for a moving object to change its speed

C. for a motionless object to remain still

D. to prevent a moving object from turning

Hence,

Speed of cart's might be less than the high speed after 5 seconds.

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

<h2> 48kg</h2>

f = ma \\

w \:  =  \frac{f}{g}  \\

Explanation:

f \:  = ma \\ f - mg = ma \\ f = ma + mg \\ f = 40 \times 2 + 40 \times 10 \\ f = 480

w =  \frac{f}{g}  \\w =   \frac{480}{10}  \\ w = 48kg
