Answer:

c. Smaller than.

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given as

E = 1/2CV²...................... Equation 1

Where E = Energy stored in a capacitor, C = capacitance of the capacitor, V = Voltage.

Also,

C = εA/d ......................Equation 2

Where ε = permitivity of the material, A = cross-sectional area of the plate, d = distance of separation of the plate.

substitute equation 2 into equation 1

E = 1/2εAV²/d ................. Equation 3

From equation 3 above,

The energy stored in a capacitor is inversely proportional to the distance of separation between the plates.

Hence when the plate is pulled apart by a distance D (D>d) The energy stored in the capacitor will be smaller.

The right option is c. Smaller than.

A sound source is located somewhere along the x-axis. Experiments show that the same wave front simultaneously reaches listeners
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the source is situated on x - axis , it must be situated in between the two listeners .

So the x coordinate of source is

(-7 + 3 )/2

= - 2 m

The equation of the wave- front will be that o a circle having centre at (-2,0)

and radius = distance between -2 and 3 , that is 5 m

equation of circle

=( x+2 )² + y² = 25

It cuts y axis when x = 0

Putting x = 0

4 + y² = 25

y² = 21

y = + √21 , or - √21

Two people carry a heavy electric motor by placing it on a light board 2.45 m long. One person lifts at one end with a force of
maxonik [38]

Answer:

W=1055N

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must first do a drawing of the situation so we can visualize theh problem better. (See attached picture)

In this problem, we will ignore the board's weight. As we can see in the free body diagram of the board, there are only three forces acting on the system and we can say the system is in vertical equilibrium, so from this we can say that:

\sum F=0

so we can do the sum now:

F_{1}+F_{2}-W=0

when solving for the Weight W, we get:

W=F_{1}+F_{2}

and now we can substitute the given data, so we get:

W=410N+645N

W=1055N
