Answer:

1. Charge on plates (plates remain connected to battery) increases.

2. Electric potential energy (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric) decreases.

3.Capacitance (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric) increases.

4. Voltage between plates (plates remain connected to battery) remains the same.

5. Charge on plates (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric) remains the same.

6. Capacitance (plates remain connected to battery) increases.

7. Electric potential energy (plates remain connected to battery) increases.

8. Voltage between plates (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric) decreases.

Explanation:

When a dielectric material is inserted between the plates of a capacitor, the capacitance is increase by a factor K, the dielectric constant.

C = KC_0

By the capacitance formula, the other factors change accordingly.

1. Charge on plates (plates remain connected to battery) increases, because charge and capacitance are directly proportional.

2. Electric potential energy (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric) decreases, because potential is inversely proportional to capacitance, and potential energy is given by the following formula

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

3.Capacitance (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric) increases.

4. Voltage between plates (plates remain connected to battery) stays the same, because the voltage is applied by the battery.

5. Charge on plates (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric) remains constant. If the plates isolated from the battery, then the total charge is conserved.

6. Capacitance (plates remain connected to battery)  increases when a dielectric is inserted.

7. Electric potential energy (plates remain connected to battery)  increases, because when plates remain connected to battery the voltage remains the same. But the capacitance increases. Therefore, electric potential energy increases.

8. Voltage between plates (plates isolated from battery before inserting dielectric) decreases, because voltage is inversely proportional to capacitance.

An ice skater is spinning at 6.00 rev/s with his moment of inertia being 0.400 kg/m2. Calculate his new moment of inertia if he
labwork [276]

Answer:

New moment of inertia will be I=1.92kgm^2

Explanation:

It is given initially angular velocity \omega =6rev/sec=6\times 2\pi =37.68rad/sec

Moment of inertia I=0.4kgm^2

Angular momentum is equal to L=I\omega =37.68\times 0.4=15.072kgm^2/sec

Now angular velocity is decreases to \omega =1.25rev/sec=1.25\times 2\times 3.14=7.85rad/sec

As we know that angular momentum is conserved

So 15.072=I\times 7.85

I=1.92kgm^2

So new moment of inertia will be I=1.92kgm^2

What describes a sound wave as it travels through a medium
Softa [21]
Sound waves in air (and any fluid medium) are longitudinal waves because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves.

PLS HELPPP! Why are ions harmful and why are they not harmful?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

This is because we are surrounded by positive ions from electromagnetic fields generated by computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices which can impair brain function and suppress the immune system causing symptoms such as: anxiety, breathing difficulty, fatigue, headaches, irritability, lack of energy, poor concentration, nausea, and vertigo,
