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.

If the velocity of a long jumper during take-offat an angle of 30 degrees is 42 f/s, how fast is he moving forward (Vx) and how
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Vx=  11.0865(m/s)

Vy=  6.4008(m/s)

Explanation:

Taking into account that 1m is equal to 0.3048 ft, the takeoff speed in m / s will be:

V= 42(ft/s) × 0.3048(m/ft) = 12.8016(m/s)

The take-off angle is equal to 30 °, taking into account the Pythagorean theorem the velocity on the X axis will be:

Vx= 12.8016 (m/s) × cos(30°)= 11.0865(m/s)

And for the same theorem the speed on the Y axis will be:

Vy= 12.8016 (m/s) × sen(30°)= 6.4008(m/s)

You have two contentious friends, Chris and Pat, and you’ve quickly discovered that they need you to resolve arguments they have
pshichka [43]

Answer:

v_average = (d₂-d₁) / Δt

this average velocity is not necessarily the velocity of the extreme points,

Explanation:

To resolve the debate, it must be shown that the two have part of the reason, the space or distance between the two points divided by time is the average speed between the points.

             v_average = (d₂-d₁) / Δt

this average velocity is not necessarily the velocity of the extreme points, in the only case that it is so is when there is no acceleration.

Therefore neither of them is right.

oscillating spring mass systems can be used to experimentally determine an unknown mass without using a mass balance. a student
puteri [66]

Answer:

Mass, m = 6.18 kg

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Frequency, F = 10 Hz

Spring constant, k = 250 N/m

We know that pie, π = 22/7

To find the mass, we would use the following formula;

F = 1/2π√(k/m)

Where;

F is the frequency of oscillation.

k is the spring constant.

m is the mass of the spring.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

10 = 1/2 * 22/7 * √250/m

10 = 22/14 * √250/m

Cross-multiplying, we have;

140 = 22 * √250/m

Dividing both sides by 22, we have;

140/22 = √250/m

6.36 = √250/m

Taking the square of both sides, we have;

6.36² = (√250/m)²

40.45 = 250/m

Cross-multiplying, we have;

40.45m = 250

Mass, m = 250/40.45

Mass, m = 6.18 kg

Calculate the mass (in SI units) of (a) a 160 lb human being; (b) a 1.9 lb cockatoo. Calculate the weight (in English units) of
kondaur [170]

Explanation:

1. Force applied on an object is given by :

F = W = mg

(a) A 160 lb human being, F = 160 lb

g = acceleration due to gravity, g = 32 ft/s²

m=\dfrac{F}{g}

m=\dfrac{160\ lb}{32\ ft/s^2}

m = 5 kg

(b) A 1.9 lb cockatoo, F = 1.9 lb

m=\dfrac{F}{g}

m=\dfrac{1.9\ lb}{32\ ft/s^2}

m = 0.059 kg

2. (a) A 2300 kg rhinoceros, m = 2300 kg

W=2300\ kg\times 32\ ft/s^2=73600\ lb

(b) A 22 g song sparrow, m = 22 g = 0.022 kg

W=0.022\ kg\times 32\ ft/s^2=0.704\ lb

Hence, this is the required solution.
