<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

List and explain briefly similarities and differences between the electric force between two charges and the gravitational force
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Please see below as the answers are self-explanatory.

Explanation:

  • Similarities

1) The resultant force is along the line that joins both charges or both masses (assuming both objects can be represented as points)

2) Both type of forces obey  Newton's 3rd law.

3) Both are proportional to the product of the property that is affected by the force (charges and masses)

4) Both obey an inverse - square law (consequence of our universe being three-dimensional)

  • Differences

1) Main difference, is that while the gravitational force is always attractive, the electrostatic force can be attractive or repulsive, as there are two types of charges, which attract each other being of different type, and repel each other if they are of the same type.

2) It  is possible, artificially, to block the influence of the electrostatic force, shielding a room, for instance, which is not possible for the gravitational force.

If a spear is jabbeb exactly at that place where the fish appears in water, the fish is not killed
Korvikt [17]

You have learned your lesson well, Suhay. Your statement is correct.

The light rays from the fish BEND when they flow out of the water into the air. But our primitive brain still believes that the light rays flow STRAIGHT from the fish. The result is that the fish does not APPEAR to be at that place where it really is.

A boy flies a kite with the string at a 30 degree angle to the horizontal. The tension in the string is 4.5N .
sp2606 [1]
How much work in J does the string do on the boy if the boy stands still? 

<span>answer: None. The equation for work is W = force x distance. Since the boy isn't moving, the distance is zero. Anything times zero is zero </span>
<span>--------------------------------------... </span>
<span>How much work does the string do on the boy if the boy walks a horizontal distance of 11m away from the kite? </span>

<span>answer: might be a trick question since his direction away from the kite and his velocity weren't noted. Perhaps he just set the string down and walked away 11m from the kite. If he did this, it is the same as the first one...no work was done by the sting on the boy. </span>

<span>If he did walk backwards with no velocity indicated, and held the string and it stayed at 30 deg the answer would be: </span>
<span>4.5N + (boys negative acceleration * mass) = total force1 </span>
<span>work = total force1 x 11 meters </span>
<span>--------------------------------------... </span>

<span>How much work does the string do on the boy if the boy walks a horizontal distance of 11m toward the kite? </span>

<span>answer: same as above only reversed: </span>
<span>4.5N - (boys negative acceleration * mass) = total force2 </span>
<span>work = total force2 x 11 meters</span>
