The voltage applied across a given parallel-plate capacitor is doubled. How is the energy stored in the capacitor affected?

Physics

Answer:

The energy stored in the capacitor quadruples its original value.

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by the equation

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C is the capacitance

V is the voltage across the plates

The capacitance, C, depends only on the properties of the capacitor, so it does not change when the voltage applied is changed.

Instead, in this problem the voltage applied is doubled:

V' = 2V

So the new energy stored is

U'=\frac{1}{2}C(2V)^2=4(\frac{1}{2}CV^2)=4U

so, the energy stored has quadrupled.

Calculate the total energy of 2.0 kg object moving horizontally at 10 m/s 50 meters above the surface
mina [271]
We have:

Total Energy: KE + GPE
KE (Kinetic Energy) = \frac{1}{2} m*v^2
GPE (Gravitational Potential Energy) = m*g*h

Data:
m (mass) = 2.0 Kg
v (speed) = 10 m/s
h (height) = 50 m
Use: g (gravity) = 10 m/s²

Formula:

Total Energy: KE + GPE
TE =  \frac{1}{2} m*v^2 + m*g*h

Solving:
TE = \frac{1}{2} m*v^2 + m*g*h
TE = \frac{1}{2} *2.0*10^2 + 2.0*10*50
TE =  \frac{2.0*100}{2} + 1000
TE =  \frac{200}{2} + 1000
TE = 100 + 1000
\boxed{\boxed{TE = 1100\:Joule}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

A common carnival ride, called a gravitron, is a large r = 11 m cylinder in which people stand against the outer wall. the cylin
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The minimum speed is 14.53 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

r = 11 m

Friction coefficient = 0.51

Suppose we need to find the minimum speed, that the cylinder must make a person move at to ensure they will stick to the wall

When frictional force becomes equal to or greater than the weight of person

Then, he sticks to the wall

We need to calculate the minimum speed

Using formula for speed

f_{s}=\mu N\geq mg

Where, N =\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

\mu\times\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\gep mg

v^2\geq\dfrac{gr}{\mu}

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{9.8\times11}{0.51}}

v=14.53\ m/s

Hence, The minimum speed is 14.53 m/s.
