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.

The level of water in an olympic size swimming pool (50.0 meters long, 25.0 meters wide, and about 2.00 meters deep) needs to be
Goshia [24]
<span>We need to start by finding the surface area of the pool.
50 meters multiplied by 25 meters gives us 1250 square meters.
1250 square meters multiplied by .065 (6.5 cm in meters) gives us a volume of 81.25 cubic meters of water that needs to be pumped out of the pool.

There are 1000 liters in a cubic meter so this is 81250 liters. Divide by 4.2 to find the number of seconds required to pump out this much water and we get 19345.2 seconds. This equals approximately 5.37 hours.</span>

What is the wavelength of a photon whose energy is twice that of a photon with a 600 nm wavelength?
bearhunter [10]
Planck's equation states that
E = hf
where
E =  the energy,
h = Planck's constant
f =  the frequency

Because
c = fλ
where
c =  velocity of light,
λ = wavelength
therefore
E = h(c/λ)

Photon #1:
The wavelength is λ₁ = 60 nm.
The energy is
E₁ = (hc)/λ₁

Photon #2:
The energy is twice that of photon #1, therefore its energy is
E₂ = 2E₁ = (hc)/λ₂.

Therefore
\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}}= \frac{(hc)/\lambda_{2}}{(hc)/60 \, nm} =2\\ \frac{60}{\lambda_{2}} =2 \\ \lambda_{2} =  \frac{60}{2} =30 \, nm

Answer:  30 nm

Planet-X has a mass of 3.42×1024 kg and a radius of 8450 km. What is the First Cosmic Speed i.e. the speed of a satellite on a l
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

First cosmic speed = 5195.74m/s

Second cosmic speed = 7346.05m/s

The raduis of the synchronous 0rbit of satellite is 2.80×10^7m

Explanation:

The first cosmic speed Is determined using the Orbital speed equation which is given by:

V = Sqrt(GM/r)

Where G = gravitational constant = 6.67 ×10^-11

M = Mass of planet

r = radius of the planet

V = Sqrt (6.67×10^-11)(3.42×10^24)/(8450×10^3)

V = Sqrt (2.28×10^14)/(8450×10^3)

V = Sqrt ( 26995739.64)

V = 5195.75m/s

The second cosmic speed is given by :

V = Sqrt(2 × GM)/r

V = Sqrt (2 × (6.67×10^-11)(3.42×10^24)/(8450×10^3)

V = Sqrt( 4.5×10^14)/ (8450×10^3)

V = Sqrt(53964497.04)

V = 7346.05m/s

The raduis of the synchronous orbit if the satellite around the planet is given by:

r = Cuberoot(T^2GM/4 pi r^2where T is the period of rotation of the planet in second

Given :

T = 17.1 hours converting to seconds

T = 17.1 ×60 ×60 = 61560 seconds

Substituting into the equation

r = Cuberoot ([(61560)^2×(6.67×10^-11)(3.42×10^24)/ (4 ×3.142×r^2)]

r = 2.80×10^7m

Astronomers infer that the universe is expanding because distant galaxies all appear to?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

They appear to recede from our viewpoint.

That is, their emitted spectra are shifted toward the red (red-shift).

The wave-lengths that are received on earth are somewhat longer because of the "Doppler" shift of the receding atoms.
