The charge on the square plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is Q. The potential across the plates is maintained with constant

voltage by a battery as the two plates of the capacitor are pulled apart to twice their original separation, which is small compared to the dimensions of the plates. (i) The amount of charge on the plates is now equal to [3] A) 4Q. B) 2Q. C) Q. D) Q/2. E) Q/4. (ii) What happens to the amount of charge on the plates if the plates are not connected to the battery when they are pulled apart?[2]

Answer:

i)  Q' = Q/2.

ii) If the wires to the battery are disconnected, the amount of charge on the plates remains constant, and the voltage across the plates remains the same.

Explanation:

i) The formula for capacitance is given as

C = A/d                              

Where d = separation between the plates

The formula for the charge stored is given as

Q = CV

Q = AV/d

When "d" is doubled, the charge stored "Q" becomes half because Q is inversely proportional to the separation between the plates, d.

Thus, Q' = Q/2.

ii) If the wires to the battery are disconnected, the amount of charge on the plates remains constant, and the voltage across the plates remains the same.

Two identical trucks have mass 5100 kg when empty, and the maximum permissible load for each is 8000 kg. the first truck, carryi
Oksanka [162]
<span>The 2nd truck was overloaded with a load of 16833 kg instead of the permissible load of 8000 kg. The key here is the conservation of momentum. For the first truck, the momentum is 0(5100 + 4300) The second truck has a starting momentum of 60(5100 + x) And finally, after the collision, the momentum of the whole system is 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + x) So let's set the equations for before and after the collision equal to each other. 0(5100 + 4300) + 60(5100 + x) = 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + x) And solve for x, first by adding the constant terms 0(5100 + 4300) + 60(5100 + x) = 42(14500 + x) Getting rid of the zero term 60(5100 + x) = 42(14500 + x) Distribute the 60 and the 42. 60*5100 + 60x = 42*14500 + 42x 306000 + 60x = 609000 + 42x Subtract 42x from both sides 306000 + 18x = 609000 Subtract 306000 from both sides 18x = 303000 And divide both sides by 18 x = 16833.33 So we have the 2nd truck with a load of 16833.33 kg, which is well over it's maximum permissible load of 8000 kg. Let's verify the results by plugging that mass into the before and after collision momentums. 60(5100 + 16833.33) = 60(21933.33) = 1316000 42(5100 + 4300 + 5100 + 16833.33) = 42(31333.33) = 1316000 They match. The 2nd truck was definitely over loaded.</span>

A 4kg brick is dropped from the top of a building whose hight is 30m.what is the velocity with which it reaches the ground​
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

=24.25 ^−1

Explanation:

Let   and   be initial and final velocity of the body respectively,  

be acceleration due to gravity ( 9.8^−2 ),  ℎ be the height of the body.

=0 ^ −1

ℎ=30

we know that, ^2−^ 2=2ℎ

^2=2∗9.8∗30

^2=588

=24.25 ^−1
