Suppose a capacitor is fully charged by a battery and then disconnected from the battery. The positive plate has a charge +q and
1 answer:
Answer:-q
Explanation:
Given
Capacitor is charged to a battery and capacitor acquired a charge of q i.e.
+q on Positive Plate and -q on negative Plate.
If the plate area is doubled and the plate separation is reduced to half its initial separation then capacitor becomes four times of initial value because capacitor is given by
where A=area of capacitor plate
d=Separation between plates
This change in capacitance changes the Potential such that new charge on the negative plate will remain same -q

Answer:
h = 3.3 m (Look at the explanation below, please)
Explanation:
This question has to do with kinetic and potential energy. At the beginning (time of launch), there is no potential energy- we assume it starts from the ground. There, is, however, kinetic energy
Kinetic energy = m
Plug in the numbers = (4.0)(
)
Solve = 2(64) = 128 J
Now, since we know that the mechanical energy of a system always remains constant in the absence of outside forces (there is no outside force here), we can deduce that the kinetic energy at the bottom is equal to the potential energy at the top. Look at the diagram I have attached.
Potential energy = mgh = (4.0)(9.8)(h) = 39.2(h)
Kinetic energy = Potential Energy
128 J = 39.2h
h = 3.26 m
h= 3.3 m (because of significant figures)
