Answer:

a) In a parallel plate capacitor the capacitance is

C = \frac{Q}{V} = \epsilon_0\frac{A}{d}

So, in order to halve the capacitance the plate separation should be twice the original distance.

b) Same question as (a).

c) According to the above equations, the charge stored in a capacitor is directly proportional to the plate separation.

\frac{Q}{V} = \frac{A}{d}

In order to halve the charge stored the plate separation should be half the original distance.

d) Same question as (c).

e) The energy stored in a capacitor is

U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2 = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0\frac{A}{d}(Ed)^2 = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0AE^2d

In order to halve the energy stored in the capacitor, the plate separation should be twice the original distance.

f) Same question as (e).

g) The energy density is given by the following equation

u = \frac{\frac{1}{2}CV^2}{Ad} = \frac{\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0\frac{A}{d}(E^2d^2)}{Ad} = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E^2.

As it turns out, the energy density is independent from the geometric factors. This makes sense, because the electric field in a parallel field capacitor is independent from the distance.

How many meters in 2.50 miles? (Use these two conversions: 1000 m = 1 km and 1.00 km = .621 mi )
Artyom0805 [142]

2.50 miles is equal to 4026 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As it is known that 1000 m =1 km and 1 km = 0.621 miles. So first we have to convert miles to km and then to metre as follows.

As 1 km = 0.621 miles, then

             \text { 1 miles }=\frac{1}{0.621} \mathrm{km}

So, 2.50 miles will be equal to

            2.50 \text { miles }=\frac{2.50}{0.621} \mathrm{km}=4.026 \mathrm{km}

Then, in order to get the answer in meters, we have to convert this km to meter by the conversion of 1000 m =1 km.  So,

           1 \mathrm{km}=1000 \mathrm{m}

Thereby,

          4.026 \mathrm{km}=4026 \mathrm{m}

A 0.25 kg steel ball is tied to the end of a string and then whirled in a vertical circle at a constant speed v. The length of t
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the tension in the string be T . At the top of the circle , total force acting on them = T + mg . This will provide centripetal force

T + mg = m v² / r

4 + .25 x 9.8 = .25 x v² / .62

6.45 = .25 v² / .62

v² = 16

v = 4 m /s .

A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage that takes her a distance 184 m straight west, then a distance 220 m in a
Sever21 [200]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Define the unit vector i to point in the eastern direction, and the unit vector j to point in the northern direction.

The first distance is 184 m west. It is represented by
d₁ = -184 i

The second distance is 220 m at 30° south of east. It is
d₂ = 220(cos 30° i - sin 30° j) = 190.53 i - 110 j

The third distance is 104 m at 80 east of north. It is
d₃ = 104(sin 80° i + cos 80° j) =  102.42 i + 18.06 j

Let the fourth distance be 
d₄ = a i + b j

Because the traveler ends back at the original position, the vector sum of the distances is zero. It means that each component of the vector sum is zero.

The x-component yields
-184 + 190.53 + 102.42 + a = 0
a = -108.95

The y-component yields
0 - 110 + 18.06 + b = 0
b = 91.94

The magnitude of the fourth displacement is
√[(-108.95)² + 91.94² ] = 142.56 m

The direction is at an angle θ north of west, given by
θ = tan⁻¹ (91.94/108.95) = 40.2°

Answer:
The fourth displacement has a magnitude of 142.56 m. It is about 40° north of west.
