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.

An object dropped on Planet P falls 144 m in 6 seconds. What is the gravitational acceleration of Planet P ? Gravitational accel
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The gravitational acceleration of the planet is, g = 8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data,

The distance the object falls, s = 144 m

The time taken by the object is, t = 6 s

Using the III equations of motion

                  S = ut + ½ gt²

∴                 g = 2S/t²

Substituting the given values,

                   g = 2 x 144 /6²

                      = 8 m/s²

Hence, the gravitational acceleration of the planet is, g = 8 m/s²

Please someone help me.
katovenus [111]

Answer:

acceleration of the car is 3 m\s^2

Explanation:

from rest means the initial velocity (vi) is zero

time = 5s

final velocity (vf) = 15m\s

a = vf - vi \ t

a = (15-0) \ 5

a= 3 m\s^2

which means that the car is speeding up 3 meters every second
