<h2>Answer:</h2>

2Q

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

When a capacitor carries some certain charge, the energy stored in the capacitor is its electric potential energy E. The magnitude of this potential energy is given by;

E  = \frac{1}{2}qV            ------------(i)

Where;

q = charge between the plates of the capacitor

V = potential difference between the plates of the capacitor

From the question;

q = Q

E = Ep

Therefore, equation (i) becomes;

Ep = \frac{1}{2} QV              ----------------(ii)

Make V subject of the formula in equation (ii)

V = \frac{2E_{p}}{Q}

Now, when the energy is doubled i.e E = 2Ep, equation (i) becomes;

2Ep = \frac{1}{2}qV

Substitute the value of V into the equation above;

2Ep = \frac{1}{2}(q *\frac{2E_{p}}{Q})

Solve for q;

2E_{p} = \frac{2qE_p}{2Q}

2E_{p} = \frac{qE_p}{Q}

q = 2Q

Therefore, the charge, when the energy stored is twice the originally stored energy, is twice the original charge. i.e 2Q

The initial speed of a body is 7.1 m/s. What is its speed after 2.23 s if it accelerates uniformly at 2.64 m/s 2 ? Answer in uni
Nana76 [90]

13.0m/s

1.2m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed of the body = 7.1m/s

time taken = 2.23s

Acceleration = 2.64m/s²

Unknown:

Final speed = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

   a = \frac{V - U}{T}

a  = acceleration

V = final speed

U = initial speed

T = time taken

  Input the variables and solve for V;

 

   2.64 = \frac{V - 7.1}{2.23}  

  V - 7.1 = 5.9                              expression 1

  V = 5.9 + 7.1 = 13.0m/s

B

Using the same parameters, the speed after a uniform deceleration of -2.64m/s², the negative sign implies deceleration;

 from expression 1;

           V - 7.1  = -5.9

           V = -5.9 + 7.1 = 1.2m/s
