An ideal parallel - plate capacitor consists of two parallel plates of area A separated by a distance d. This capacitor is conne

cted to a battery that maintains a constant potential difference across the plates. If the separation between the plates is now doubled, the amount of electrical energy stored on the capacitor will be cut in half. double. not change. quadruple. be cut in fourth.

Answer:

The capacitance is cut in half.

Explanation:

The capacitance of a plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area A of the plates and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates d. So if the distance was doubled we should expect that the capacitance would be cut in half. That can be verified by the following equation that is used to compute the capacitance in such cases:

C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)

Where \epsilon is a constant that represents the characteristics for the insulator between the plates. A is the area of the plates and d is the distance between them. When we double d we have a new capacitance, given by:

C_new = (\epsilon)*(A/2d)

C_new = (1/2)*[(\epsilon)*(A/d)]

Since C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)] we have:

C_new = (1/2)*C

Answer:

A)  350 N

B)  58.33 N

C)  35 kg

D)  35 kg

Explanation:

If we use that g = 10 m/s^2, then the acceleration of gravity on the Moon will be 10/6 m/s^2 = 5/3 m/s*2

The weight of the object on Earth is given by:

Weight = mass * g = 35 * 10 = 350 N

The weight of the object on the Moon:

Weight = mass * gmoon = 35 * 5/3 = 58.33 N

The mass of the object on Earth is 35 kg

The mass of the object on the Moon is exactly the same as on the Earth (35 kg) since the mass is a quantity inherent to the object and not to its location.

A tightrope walker more easily balances on a tightwire if his pole
cestrela7 [59]
B) droops.

Why?
To maintain balance, you do not need something short so you're balanced well... You need something long and droopy to maintain balance. The pole should be held by your waist and it should be light.

Hope this helps!~

What is an example of a negative incentive for producers
Hatshy [7]

An example of a negative incentive for producers is the sharp increase in production costs. Producers are the one who manage the production costs and even the production budget. Anything that relates the production department is entitled to the management of production producers.

There is what we called positive and negative incentives and both of these can affect consumers and producers. Positive incentives are those situations which will give a certain outcome that will benefit the producers, for example, during the peak season there will be a high demand of products, and this gives the chance of producers to demand a higher price from the consumers, in this situation, there will be a big chance of increase sales.  A sharp increase in production costs is a loss for the producers.  If there will be an increase in production costs, the budget will be greatly affective and even though it is not a peak season, there’s a big chance also to increase prices which we know, consumers are not fond of.
