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.

kirill [66]

Answer:

16.64 km/h

Explanation:

Think of the x and y components as the a and b sides of a triangle and simply do the Pythagorean Theorem:

a^2+b^2=c^2

14^2+9^2=c^2

\sqrt{196+81}=c

\sqrt{277}=c

16.64 km/h

Why it is important to know the advantages of locomotor ang nonlocomotor skills in our life style?
galina1969 [7]

Explanation:

Non-locomotor skills are classified as fundamental because they create the foundation for developing safety skills, and every-day utilitarian skills (Kirchner & Fishburne, 1998). ... The acquisition of basic non-locomotor skills is likely to contribute to the performance of related activities.

To determine the location of the center of mass (or center of gravity) of a car, the car is drivenover a scale on a horizontal f
just olya [345]

Explanation:

It is given that,

When the front wheels are over the scale, the weight recorded by the scale is 5800 N, F₁ = 5800 N

When the rear wheels are over the scale, the scale reads 6500 N, F₂ = 6500

The distance between the front and rear wheels is measured to be 3.20 m, x₂ = 3.2 m

We need to find the location of center of mass behind the front wheels. Let the center of is located at a distance of x₁. Thus balancing the torques we get :

5800\times x_2=6500\times (3.2-x_2)

On solving the above equation we get, x₂ = 1.69 m

So, the center of mass is located at a distance of 1.69 meters behind the front wheels.
