Answer:

1. increase

2. remain the same

3. increases

4. decreases

5. remain the same

6. increases

7. decreases

8. remain the same

Explanation:

a. the formula for the capacitance of a capacitor relating the capacitor and the dielectric material is express as

C=e_oA/d........equation 1

also the capacitance and the charge is related as

Q=CV.......equation 2

from equation 1 as the dielectric material is introduced, the capacitance increases, the charge also increases

2. from the equation as the dielectric material is introduced, the capacitance increases, the electric potential also remain the same

3. from

C=e_oA/d........equation 1

we conclude that the capacitance increases

4. the voltage between the plates decreases

5. the charge remain the same because capacitance is constant

6. the capacitance increases

7. the electric potential decreases

8. remain the same

Answer 1: the charge on the plates will increase

Explanation: placing a dielectric between two charged plate increases its capacitance

C = Q/V,

If the plates remain connected then the voltage remains the same.

Therefore for an increase in capacitance charge will increase.

Answer 2: electric field potential remains the same.

Explanation: if the plates are disconnected, charge on plates remains contant while voltage varies with change in distance, electric field intensity remains constant and this is proportional to the electric potential energy.

Answer 3: capacitance increases

Explanation: introducing a dielectric between two plates causes opposite charges to be induced on the faces of the dielectric. This also reduces the p.d across the capacitor.

Answer 4: voltage remains constant.

Explanation: A connected plate has a constant voltage across its field.

Answer 5: charge remains contant.

Explanation: capacitance will increase with introduction of dielectric, p.d across the plates will drop, the charge will remain constant.

Answer 6: capacitance increases

Explanation: placing a dielectric between plates always increase the capacitance.

Answer 7: electric potential energy falls.

Answer 8: voltage between plates decreases

A 12.0-g plastic ball is dropped from a height of 2.50 m. Just as it strikes the floor, it is moving at a speed of 3.20 m/s. How
nalin [4]

Answer:

0·233 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the ball = 0·012 kg

Initially the ball is at a height of 2·5 m

As initially the ball is dropped, it's initial velocity will be equal to 0

Therefore initially it has zero kinetic energy and has only potential energy

∴ Initially total mechanical energy of the ball = potential energy of the ball

Initial potential energy of the ball = m × g × h

where

m is the mass of the ball

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the ball

∴ Potential energy = 0·012 × 9·8 × 2·5 = 0·294 J

Velocity of the ball after striking the floor = 3·2 m/s

After striking the floor, the total mechanical energy = kinetic energy just after striking the floor

Kinetic energy = 0·5 × m × v²

where m is the mass of the ball

v is the velocity of the ball

∴ Kinetic energy of the ball = 0·5 × 0·012 × 3·2² = 0·061 J

Mechanical energy that is lost = 0·294 - 0·061 = 0·233 J

∴ Mechanical energy that the ball lost during its fall = 0·233 J
