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.

You have a grindstone (a disk) that is 95.2 kg, has a 0.399 m radius, and is turning at 93 rpm, and you press a steel axe agains
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

angular acceleration is -0.2063  rad/s²

Explanation:

Given data

mass m = 95.2 kg

radius r = 0.399 m

turning ω = 93 rpm

radial force N  = 19.6 N

kinetic coefficient of friction  μ = 0.2

to find out

angular acceleration

solution

we know frictional force that is = radial force × kinetic coefficient of friction

frictional force = 19.6 × 0.2

frictional force = 3.92 N

and

we know moment of inertia  that is

γ =  I ×α = frictional force × r

so

γ  = 1/2 mr²α

α  = -2f /mr

α  = -2(3.92) /95.2 (0.399)

α  = - 7.84 / 37.9848 = -0.2063

so angular acceleration is -0.2063  rad/s²

The PE of the box that is on a 2.0 m high self is 1600 J. What is the power expelled to lift the box to this height in 10.0 seco
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

  160 W

Explanation:

Power is the ratio of work to time:

  (1600 J)/(10 s) = 160 J/s = 160 W
