A parallel-plate vacuum capacitor has 8.60 J of energy stored in it. The separation between the plates is 3.80 mm . If the separ

ation is decreased to 1.45 mm , What is the energy now stored if the capacitor was disconnected from the potential source before the separation of the plates was changed?
What is the energy now stored if the capacitor remained connected to the potential source while the separation of the plates was changed?

Answer:

Part a)

E = \frac{8.60}{2.62} = 3.28 J

Part b)

E = 2.62(8.60) = 22.5 J

Explanation:

As we know that the energy of capacitor when it is not connected to potential source is given as

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

As we know that initial energy is given as

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

now we know that capacitance of parallel plate capacitor is given as

C = \frac{\epsilon_0A}{d}

now the new capacitance when distance is changed from 3.80 mm to 1.45 mm

C' = \frac{Cd}{d'}

C' = \frac{C(3.80)}{1.45}

C' = 2.62 C

Now the new energy of the capacitor is given as

E = \frac{Q^2}{2(2.62C)}

E = \frac{8.60}{2.62} = 3.28 J

Part b)

Now if the voltage difference between the plates of capacitor is given constant

now the energy energy of capacitor is

U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2

8.60 = \frac{1}{2}CV^2

now when capacitance is changed to new value then new energy is given as

E = \frac{1}{2}C'V^2

E = \frac{1}{2}(2.62C)V^2

E = 2.62(8.60) = 22.5 J

In a game of darts, the dart thrower releases the dart directly at the center of the target (the "bull’s eye") with a speed of 1
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:2.81 m

Explanation:

Given

speed(u)=13 m/s

dart strikes 0.23 m below

i.e. vertical distance traveled by dart is 0.23 m

considering dart motion similar to Projectile

h=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}

0.23=0+\frac{9.8t^2}{2}

t=0.216 s

Horizontal distance travel by dart =u\times t

=13\times 0.216=2.81 m

To see how deep a well is you drop a rock in. The rock hits the water 10 seconds later.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

490m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

     Time taken = 10s

Unknown:

Depth of the well = ?

Solution:

To find the depth of the well, we apply the appropriate motion equation:

     h = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt²

h is the depth

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

t is the time taken

 Input the parameters and solve;

 The ball was dropped from rest; u = 0

      h  =  \frac{1}{2}gt²

      h  =   \frac{1}{2} x 9.8 x 10²  = 490m
