A pair of parallel plates, forming a capacitor, are charged. The plates are pulled apart to double the original separation, the

charges on the plates remaining the same. What is the ratio of the final energy stored to the original energy stored?

Answer:

The final energy will be halved of the original energy.

Explanation:

As we know that the capacitance,

C = εA/d

C = capacitance

A = area of plate

d = distance or separation between the plates

ε = permitivity of dielectric material

As you can see from the formula that the capacitance ( ability of the capacitor to store charge) is inversaly proportional to the separation of the plates. If all the other factors kept constant then increasing the distance between the plates will decrease the ability of the capacitor to store energy. So we can say that by doubling the separation, the capacitance or energy stored will become half.

A 20.0-N weight slides down a rough inclined plane which makes an angle of 30 degree with the horizontal. The weight starts from
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

1270.64\ \text{J}

Explanation:

m = Mass of object = \dfrac{mg}{g}

mg = Weight of object = 20 N

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

v = Final velocity = 15 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0

d = Distance moved by the object = 150 m

\theta = Angle of slope = 30^{\circ}

f = Force of friction

fd = Work done against friction

The force balance of the system is

\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)=(mg\sin\theta-f)d\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mg\sin\theta d-fd\\\Rightarrow fd=mg\sin\theta d-\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow fd=20\times \sin 30^{\circ}\times 150-\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{20}{9.81}\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow fd=1270.64\ \text{J}

The work done against friction is 1270.64\ \text{J}.
