A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery. The space between the two plates is empty. If the separation between the c

apacitor plates is doubled while the capacitor remains connected to the battery, what is the ratio of the final stored energy to the initial stored energy?

Answer:

The final stored energy will become half.

Explanation:

 We know that stored energy in the capacitor is given as

E=\dfrac{1}{2}CV^2

C=capacitance

V=Voltage difference

E=Energy

C=\dfrac{\varepsilon A}{d}

d=Distance between plates

A=Area

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\varepsilon A}{d}\times V^2

If the distance between plates get double ,say d' = 2 d

Then stored energy

E'=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\varepsilon A}{d'}\times V^2

E'=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{\varepsilon A}{2d}\times V^2

E'=\dfrac {E}{2}

Therefore the final stored energy will become half.

Which actions are evidence that a chemical reaction has occurred? Check all that apply. a change in color the formation of a pre
NeTakaya

Answer:

  1. a change in color
  2. the formation of a precipitate
  3. the formation of bubbles

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, there is always a rearrangement of atoms within the molecules of reactants to form new products. Such a change is different from changes in the physical form of molecules, e.g. shape.

Thus, according to this criteria, only three options are correct in the given question. A change in color is definitely an indication of chemical reaction because the emission of light before and after cannot be changed unless molecules are rearranged to form a new chemical. Likewise, precipitates form when a reaction takes place between chemically dissolved molecules to form less or not dissolvable compounds. In the end, the configuration of bubbles also indicates that the reaction has taken place because new gases are being released.

On the other hand, change in shape is a physical change because the composition doesn't need to also been changed. An example is the ice formation from water. Same is the case with "change of clear liquid to cloudy" because the addition of non-reactive substances could change the nature of liquid to cloudy however the reaction doesn't need to have taken place.

If a honeybee is flying 7.0 m/s, what is the kinetic energy (Joules) if its mass is 0.1 g?
svetlana [45]

Answer:

KINETIC ENERGY=K.E=0.00245 Joules ≈ 0.003 Joules

Explanation:

mass=m=0.1g=0.0001kg

velocity=v=7.0m/s

kinetic energy=K.E.=?

as we know that

kinetic energy=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\ putting values\\kinetic energy=\frac{1}{2}(0.0001kg)(7.0m/s)^2\\ kinetic energy=\frac{1}{2} 0.0049joules\\kinetic energy= 0.00245Newton meter or joules

hope it will help ^_^

dangina [55]

A mass suspended from a spring is oscillating up and down, (as stated but not indicated).

A). At some point during the oscillation the mass has zero velocity but its acceleration is non-zero (can be either positive or negative).  <em>Yes. </em> This statement is true at the top and bottom ends of the motion.

B). At some point during the oscillation the mass has zero velocity and zero acceleration.  No.  If the mass is bouncing, this is never true.  It only happens if the mass is hanging motionless on the spring.

C). At some point during the oscillation the mass has non-zero velocity (can be either positive or negative) but has zero acceleration.  <em>Yes.</em>  This is true as the bouncing mass passes through the "zero point" ... the point where the upward force of the stretched spring is equal to the weight of the mass.  At that instant, the vertical forces on the mass are balanced, and the net vertical force is zero ... so there's no acceleration at that instant, because (as Newton informed us), A = F/m .  

D). At all points during the oscillation the mass has non-zero velocity and has nonzero acceleration (either can be positive or negative).  No.  This can only happen if the mass is hanging lifeless from the spring.  If it's bouncing, then It has zero velocity at the top and bottom extremes ... where acceleration is maximum ... and maximum velocity at the center of the swing ... where acceleration is zero.

Describe what happens in a crash according to newton's first law
Nostrana [21]

According to Newton's first law, an object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. It is the natural tendency of objects to keep on doing what they're doing. All objects resist changes in their state of motion. In the absence of an unbalanced force, an object in motion will maintain its state of motion. This is often called the law of inertia.

The law of inertia is most commonly experienced when riding in cars and trucks. In fact, the tendency of moving objects to continue in motion is a common cause of a variety of transportation injuries - of both small and large magnitudes. Consider for instance the unfortunate collision of a car with a wall. Upon contact with the wall, an unbalanced force acts upon the car to abruptly decelerate it to rest. Any passengers in the car will also be decelerated to rest if they are strapped to the car by seat belts. Being strapped tightly to the car, the passengers share the same state of motion as the car. As the car accelerates, the passengers accelerate with it; as the car decelerates, the passengers decelerate with it; and as the car maintains a constant speed, the passengers maintain a constant speed as well.

But what would happen if the passengers were not wearing the seat belt? What motion would the passengers undergo if they failed to use their seat belts and the car were brought to a sudden and abrupt halt by a collision with a wall? Were this scenario to occur, the passengers would no longer share the same state of motion as the car. The use of the seat belt assures that the forces necessary for accelerated and decelerated motion exist. Yet, if the seat belt is not used, the passengers are more likely to maintain its state of motion. The animation below depicts this scenario.

If the car were to abruptly stop and the seat belts were not being worn, then the passengers in motion would continue in motion. Assuming a negligible amount of friction between the passengers and the seats, the passengers would likely be propelled from the car and be hurled into the air. Once they leave the car, the passengers becomes projectiles and continue in projectile-like motion.
