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

An applied force of 50 N is used to accelerate an object, that weighs 73 N, to the right across a frictional surface. The object
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

5.38 m/s^2

Explanation:

NET force causing the object to accelerate  =  50 -10 = 40 N

Mass of the object =  73 N / 9.81 m/s^2 = 7.44 kg

F = ma

40 = 7.44 * a         a = 5.38 m/s^2

A 50.0 kg object is moving at 18.2 m/s when a 200 N force
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

distance = 21.56 m

Explanation:

given data

mass = 50 kg

initial velocity  = 18.2 m/s

force = -200 N ( here force applied to opposite direction )

final velocity = 12.6 m/s

solution

we know here acceleration will be as

acceleration a  = force ÷ mass

a = \frac{-200}{50}   =  -4 m/s²

we get here now required time that is

required time = \frac{V_{(final)} - V_{(initial)}}{a}     ...............1

put here value

required time = \frac{12.6-18.2}{-4}  

so distance will be

distance = \frac{V_{(final)}^2 - V_{(initial)}^2}{2a}    ........2

distance = \frac{12.6}^2 -{18.2}^2}{2\times (-4)}  

distance = 21.56 m
