An air-gap, parallel plate capacitor with area A and gap width d is connected to a battery that maintains the plates at potentia

l difference V. (a) The plates are pulled apart, doubling the gap width, while they remain in electrical contact with the battery terminals. By what factor does the potential energy of the capacitor change?

Answer:

The new potential energy decreases by the factor of 2 to the old potential energy.

Explanation:

Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by the relation :

C = (ε₀A)/d

Here ε₀ is vacuum permittivity, A is area of the capacitor plate and d is the distance between them.

Potential energy of the capacitor, U = \frac{1}{2}CV^{2}

Here V is the potential difference between the plates.

According to the problem, the distance between the plates get double but area remains same. So,

d₁ = 2d

Here d₁ is new distance between the plates.

Hence, new capacitance is :

C₁ = (ε₀A)/d₁ = (ε₀A)/2d = C/2

The capacitor have same potential difference that is V. Hence, the new potential energy is :

U₁ = \frac{1}{2}C_{1} V^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{C}{2} V^{2}

U₁ = U/2

\frac{U_{1} }{U} = \frac{1}{2}

A car is being driven at a rate of 60 ft/sec when the brakes are applied. The car decelerates at a constant rate of 19
Hunter-Best [27]

The car will take 300 m before it stops due to applying break.

<h3>What's the relation between initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and distance?</h3>
  • As per Newton's equation of motion, V² - U² = 2aS
  • V= final velocity velocity of the object, U = initial velocity velocity of the object, a= acceleration, S = distance covered by the object
  • Here, U = 60 ft/sec, V = 0 m/s, a= -6 ft/sec²
  • So, 0² - 60² = 2×6× S

=> -3600 = -12S

=> S = 3600/12 = 300 m

Thus, we can conclude that the distance covered by the car is 300 m before it stopped.

If the maximum tension in the simulation is 10.0 N, what is the linear mass density (m/L) of the string
vovikov84 [41]

Complete Question

The speed of a transverse wave on a string of length L and mass m under T is given by the formula

     v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}

If the maximum tension in the simulation is 10.0 N, what is the linear mass density (m/L) of the string

Answer:

(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Speed of a transverse wave given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}

Maximum Tension is T=10.0N

Generally making (m/l) subject from the equation mathematically we have

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{(m/l)}}

v^2=\frac{T}{(m/l)}

(m/l)=\frac{T}{V^2}

(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}

Therefore the Linear mass in terms of Velocity is given by

(m/l)=\frac{10}{V^2}

What is the electric potential v due to the nucleus of hydrogen at a distance of 5.292×10−11 m ?
viktelen [127]

Answer: 27.21 V

Explanation:

The <u>electric potential</u> V_{E} due to a point charge is expressed as:

V_{E}=k\frac{q}{r}

Where:

k=9(10)^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}} is the <u>electric constant</u>

q=1.6(10)^{-19}C is the <u>electric charge of the hydrogen nucleus</u>, which is positive

r=5.292(10)^{-11}m is the <u>distance</u>

Rewritting the equation with the known values:

V_{E}=9(10)^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}\frac{1.6(10)^{-19}C}{5.292(10)^{-11}m}

Finally:

V_{E}=27.21 V
