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.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3

Explanation:

v = Velocity of the breeze = 4 m/s

w = Width of the valley = 5000 m

h = Height of the valley = 1000 m

Volumetric flow rate is given by

\dot{V}=vwh\\\Rightarrow \dot{V}=4\times 5000\times 1000\\\Rightarrow \dot{V}=2\times10^{7}\ \text{m}^3/\text{s}

\dot{m} = Mass flow rate of pollutant = 25 g/s = 25\times 10^6\ \mu\text{g/s}

Concentration is given by

C=\dfrac{\dot{m}}{\dot{V}}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{25\times 10^6}{2\times 10^7}\\\Rightarrow C=1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3

The steady state concentration of pollutants in the valley, is 1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3.

Un avión da "una vuelta mortal" de radio R = 500 m con una celeridad constante v = 360 km/h. Halla la fuerza ejercida por el asi
Airida [17]

Answer:

1400 N

Explanation:

Verá, durante el salto mortal, el piloto se mueve en una trayectoria circular y la fuerza que actúa sobre él es una fuerza centrípeta.

Sea la fuerza centrípeta F, la masa del piloto (m) = 70 Kg, el radio (r) = 500 my la velocidad (v) = 360 km / hr * 1000/3600 = 100 m / s

F = mv ^ 2 / r

F = 70 * (100) ^ 2/500

F = 1400 N
