1. increase the area of the plates

4. decrease the separation between the plates

5. insert a dielectric between the plates

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C is the capacitance

V is the potential difference across the capacitor

For a parallel-plate capacitor, the capacitance is given by

C=\frac{k \epsilon_0 A}{d}

where

k is the dielectric constant of the material

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates of the capacitor

d is the separation between the plates

So we can rewrite the energy stored in the capacitor as

U=\frac{k \epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

Here the potential difference is kept constant, so the energy depends only on the dielectric constant of the medium, the area and on the distance between the plates. In particular:

- The energy is directly proportional to the area, so as the area increases, the energy will increase

- The energy is inversely proportional to the distance, so as the distance decreases, the energy will increase

- The energy increases if the value of k increases (that is, if a dielectric is put between the plates)

It follows that the correct options to increase the energy are:

1. increase the area of the plates

4. decrease the separation between the plates

5. insert a dielectric between the plates

How is power defined? Question 4 options: the quantity of work accomplished the direction of the work the total distance an obje
GarryVolchara [31]

Power can be defined as the rate at which work is accomplished.

Option D is the correct answer.

<h3></h3><h3>Power </h3>

The work done by an object in a given time interval is called the power of that object.

Suppose an external force F is applied to any object for the time interval T seconds. Due to this external force, the object will perform some amount of work for the time T seconds. This work W done by the object for the time interval T seconds is called the power of that object.

Power can be defined in mathematical term which is given below.

P = \dfrac {W}{T} \;\rm Watts

Thus the power can also be defined as the work done by the object per unit time interval.

Hence we can conclude that option D is the correct answer.

To know more about power, follow the link given below.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Part a)

H = 44.1 m

Part b)

y = 13.48 m

Part c)

d = 8.86 m

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that ball will reach at maximum height at

t = 3 s

now we will have

t = \frac{v sin\theta}{g}

now we have

3 = \frac{vsin\theta}{9.8}

v sin\theta = 29.4 m/s

Now maximum height above ground is given as

H = \frac{v^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

H = \frac{29.4^2}{2(9.8)}

H = 44.1 m

Part b)

Height of the fence is given as

y = (vsin\theta) t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

y = (29.4)(5.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(5.5^2)

y = 13.48 m

Part c)

As we know that its horizontal distance moved by the ball in 5.5 s is given as

x = v_x t

97.5 = v_x (5.5)

v_x = 17.72 m/s

now total time of flight is given as

T = 3 + 3 = 6 s

so range is given as

R = v_x T

R = (17.72)(6)

R = 106.4 m

so the distance from the fence is given as

d = 106.4 - 97.5

d = 8.86 m
