A capacitor consists of two metal surfaces separated by an insulating layer. A new capacitor has no charge on either of its surf

aces. If you begin transferring charge from one surface to the other, the first surface becomes negatively charged while the second surface becomes positively charged. As you transfer the charge, the voltage of(A) the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor increases. (B) the positively charged surface decreases but the energy stored in the capacitor increases. (C) both surfaces increase but the energy stored in the capacitor decreases. (D) both surfaces increase and the energy stored in the capacitor stays constant.

<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>(A) the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor increases.</h3>

When charging a capacitor transferring charge from one surface to the other, the first surface becomes negatively charged while the second surface becomes positively charged. As you transfer the charge, the voltage of the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor also increases. We can solve this by the definition of <em>capacitance</em><em> </em>that is <em>a  measure of the ability of a capacitor  to store energy. </em>For any capacitor, the capacitance is  a constant defined as:

C=\frac{Q}{V_{ab}}

To maintain C constant, if Q increases V also increases.

On the other hand, the potential energy U can be expressed as:

U=\frac{Q^{2}}{2C}

In conclusion, as Q increases the potential energy also increases.

You are traveling at 16m/s for 18 seconds. What is your displacement?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Image result for You are traveling at 16m/s for 18 seconds. What is your displacement?

The average velocity of the object is multiplied by the time traveled to find the displacement. The equation x = ½( v + u)t can be manipulated, as shown below, to find any one of the four values if the other three are known.

At the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.81 m/s2 . A watermelon has a weight of 54.0 N at the s
butalik [34]

Answer:

m=5.51Kg

Explanation:

The weight of an object on Earth is given by W=mg, so we can calculate its mass by doing m=W/g, which for our values is:

m=(54N)/(9.8m/s^2)=5.51Kg

<em>Nothing is being asked</em> about Io but if one wanted to know the weight <em>W'</em> of the watermelon there one just have to do:

W'=ma=(5.51Kg)(1.81m/s^2)=9.97N

The concentration of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) in a river just downstream of a wastewater treatment plant’s effluent pipe
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The BOD concentration 50 km downstream when the velocity of the river is 15 km/day is 63.5 mg/L

Explanation:

Let the initial concentration of the BOD = C₀

Concentration of BOD at any time or point = C

dC/dt = - KC

∫ dC/C = -k ∫ dt

Integrating the left hand side from C₀ to C and the right hand side from 0 to t

In (C/C₀) = -kt + b (b = constant of integration)

At t = 0, C = C₀

In 1 = 0 + b

b = 0

In (C/C₀) = - kt

(C/C₀) = e⁻ᵏᵗ

C = C₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

C₀ = 75 mg/L

k = 0.05 /day

C = 75 e⁻⁰•⁰⁵ᵗ

So, we need the BOD concentration 50 km downstream when the velocity of the river is 15 km/day

We calculate how many days it takes the river to reach 50 km downstream

Velocity = (displacement/time)

15 = 50/t

t = 50/15 = 3.3333 days

So, we need the C that corresponds to t = 3.3333 days

C = 75 e⁻⁰•⁰⁵ᵗ

0.05 t = 0.05 × 3.333 = 0.167

C = 75 e⁻⁰•¹⁶⁷

C = 63.5 mg/L

A golf ball strikes a hard, smooth floor at an angle of 28.2 ° and, as the drawing shows, rebounds at the same angle. The mass o
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

    I = 1.06886  N s

Explanation:

The expression for momentum is

          I = F t = Δp

therefore the momentum is a vector quantity, for which we define a reference system parallel to the floor

Let's find the components of the initial velocity

          sin 28.2 = v_y / v

          cos 28.2=  vₓ / v

          v_y = v sin 282

          vₓ = v cos 28.2

          v_y = 42.8 sin 28.2 = 20.225 m / s

          vₓ = 42.8 cos 28.2 = 37.72 m / s

since the ball is heading to the ground, the vertical velocity is negative and the horizontal velocity is positive, it can also be calculated by making

θ = -28.2

         v_y = -20.55 m / s

         v_x = 37.72 m / s

X axis

         Iₓ = Δpₓ = p_{fx} - p_{ox}

since the ball moves in the x-axis without changing the velocity, the change in moment must be zero

         Δpₓ = m v_{fx} - m v₀ₓ = 0

          v_{fx} = v₀ₓ

therefore

          Iₓ = 0

Y axis  

        I_y = Δp_y = p_{fy} -p_{oy}

when the ball reaches the floor its vertical speed is downwards and when it leaves the floor its speed has the same modulus but the direction is upwards

         v_{fy} = - v_{oy}

         Δp_y = 2 m v_{oy}

         Δp_y = 2 0.0260 (20.55)

         \Delta p_{y} = 1.0686 N s

the total impulse is

          I = Iₓ i ^ + I_y j ^

          I = 1.06886  j^ N s
