Newton's law of universal gravitation doesn't say anything about the cause of gravity.

Einstein's theory of relativity does.

Newton”s theory says this can occur because of gravity, a force attracting those objects to one another or to a single, third object. Einstein also says this occurs due to gravity- but in his theory, gravity is not a force. It is a curve in space-time.

A charge of 1.5 µC is placed on the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. The change in voltage across the plates is 36 V. How m

belka [17]

Answer:

Energy stored in the capacitor is $U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, $q=1.5\ \mu C=1.5\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Potential difference, V = 36 V

We need to find the potential energy is stored in the capacitor. The stored potential energy is given by :

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}q\times V$

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.5\times 10^{-6}\times 36$

U = 0.000027 J

$U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J$

So, the potential energy is stored in the capacitor is $U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

What effect would this have on the momentum?

Mariana [72]

Momentum describes an object in motion and is determined by the product of two variables: mass and velocity. Mass -- the weight of an object -- is usually measured in kilograms or grams for momentum problems. Velocity is the measure of distance traveled over time and is normally reported in meters per second. Examining the possible changes in these two variables identifies the different effects momentum can have on an object in motion.
