<u>Answer: </u>

Cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Initial height of cat from ground = 20 meter.

We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this the velocity of cat in vertical direction = 0 m/s, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity =  9.8 m/s^2, we need to calculate time when s = 20 meter.

Substituting

20=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ t = 2.02 seconds

So, cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.

Two positive charges of 20 micro coulomb and 100 micro coulomb and the distance between them is 150cm.What will be the electrica
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

0.8 N

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

Formula:

F = kqq'/r²........................ Equation 1

Where F = Force of repulsion, k = coulomb's constant, q = first positive charge, q' = second positive charge, r = distance between the charge.

Given: q = 20 μC = 20×10⁻⁶ C, q' = 100 μC = 100×10⁻⁶ C, r = 150 cm = 1.5 m.

Constant:  k = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = (20×10⁻⁶ )( 100×10⁻⁶)(9×10⁹)/1.5²

F = 1800×10⁻³/2.25

F = 1.8/2.25

F = 0.8 N

A capacitor consists of two metal surfaces separated by an insulating layer. A new capacitor has no charge on either of its surf
mihalych1998 [28]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>(A) the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor increases.</h3>

When charging a capacitor transferring charge from one surface to the other, the first surface becomes negatively charged while the second surface becomes positively charged. As you transfer the charge, the voltage of the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor also increases. We can solve this by the definition of <em>capacitance</em><em> </em>that is <em>a  measure of the ability of a capacitor  to store energy. </em>For any capacitor, the capacitance is  a constant defined as:

C=\frac{Q}{V_{ab}}

To maintain C constant, if Q increases V also increases.

On the other hand, the potential energy U can be expressed as:

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

In conclusion, as Q increases the potential energy also increases.
