Answer:

increasing the separation between the plates

Explanation:

The increase in the vacuum/separation between the plates in a parallel plate capacitor connected to a constant potential difference decreases the energy stored in the capacitor. the increase in the separation of the plates of a parallel plate capacitor reduces the capacitance of the capacitor because

Q(charge) = CV  V = VOLTAGE , c = capacitance  

E = 1/2 eAV^2/ D  ( ENERGY STORED )

where D = distance between plates, e = dielectric, A = area of capacitor , V = potential difference

A small sphere attached to a light rigid rod rotates about an axis perpendicular to and fixed to the other end of the rod. relat
Crank
<span>d.rotating counterclockwise and slowing down This is a matter of understanding the notation and conventions of angular rotations. Positive rotations are counter clockwise and negative rotations are clockwise. An easy way to remember this is the "right hand rule". Make a closed fist with your right hand and have the thumb sticking outwards. If you orient your thumb such that it's pointing in the direction of the positive value along the axis, your fingers will be curled in the positive rotational direction. So in the described scenario, the sphere is rotating in the positive direction (counter clockwise) and decelerating due to the negative angular acceleration. That immediately indicates that options "a", "b", and "e" are wrong since they mention the sphere going clockwise at the beginning. Of the two remaining options "c" and "d", we can discard option "c" since it has the rotation speeding up, and that leaves us with option "d" where the sphere is rotating counter clockwise and slowing down.</span>

A box is placed on a conveyor belt that moves with a constant speed of 1.05 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The box stops in 0.139 seconds, after moving 7.29cm (0.0729m) backwards relative to the belt.

Explanation:

As the box is initially at rest relative to the earth, it is moving backwards with a speed of 1.05m/s relative to the belt. Then, the frictional force acts on the box to make it stop relative to the belt. So, we first have to write the equations of motion of the box in each axis:

x: f_k=ma\implies a=\frac{f_k}{m} \\\\y: N-mg=0\implies N=mg

Since the frictional force f_k is equal to f_k=\mu_k N=\mu_k mg, then we have that the acceleration is:

a=\frac{\mu_k mg}{m}=\mu_k g

Now, from the definition of acceleration we get:

a=\frac{v-v_0}{t}\implies t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}

And, as the final velocity is zero because the box gets to a stop, we have:

t=-\frac{v_0}{a}=-\frac{v_0}{\mu_k g}

(Don't worry about the negative sign. It will disappear because the initial velocity is also negative, since we take the box initially moving backwards)

Then, plugging in the given values, we calculate the time:

t=-\frac{(-1.05m/s)}{0.770(9.81m/s^{2})}=0.139s

In words, the time the box takes to stop sliding relative to the belt is 0.139s.

The displacement of the box in this time, is given by the kinematics formula:

v^{2}=v_0^{2}+2ax\implies x=-\frac{v_0^{2}}{2\mu_kg}

Finally, we calculate the displacement:

x=-\frac{(1.05m/s)^{2} }{2(0.770)(9.81m/s^2)}=-0.0729m=-7.29cm

This means that the box moves 7.29cm backwards relative to the belt.
