Answer: C.

Explanation:

For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.

The capacitance is:

C = e*A/d

You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.

Now, the stored energy can be written as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2/C

Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)

e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.

Then we can define:

K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)

And now we can write the energy as:

E = K*d

Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.

Calculate the internal axial load at a point D if length L=7 ft. The part is subjected to loads P1=632 lbs, P2=888 lbs (applied
liraira [26]

Answer:

- 256 lbs

Explanation:

The internal axial load at point D can be calculated as the change in the subjected loads. if the magnitude of the horizontal direction = zero

EF_x = 0; Then:

internal axial load at point D = Δ P

= -(P₂ - P₁)

= - ( 888 lbs - 632 lbs)

= - 256 lbs

A 06-C charge and a .07-C charge are apart at 3 m apart. What force attracts them?
Andru [333]

Answer:

F = 37.8 × 10^(6) N

Explanation:

The charges are 0.06 C and 0.07 C.

Thus;

Charge 1; q1 = 0.06 C

Charge 2; q2 = 0.07 C

Distance between them; r = 3 m

Formula for the force in between them is;

F = kq1•q2/r²

Where k is a constant = 9 × 10^(9) N.m²/C²

Thus;

F = (9 × 10^(9) × 0.06 × 0.07)/3²

F = 37.8 × 10^(6) N
