A capacitor with plates separated by distance do is charged to a voltage difference ΔVC. All wires and batteries are disconnecte

d, then the two plates are pushed together (with insulated handles so charges cannot flow) to a new separation distance that was half the original distance ( ). Which of the following quantities will be doubled as a result of this new separation distance?
a. The capacitance of the capacitor, C.
b. The energy stored in the capacitor, U.
c. The magnitude of the electric field between the plates, ∣ E ->∣.
d. The voltage drop across the capacitor, ΔVC
e. All of the above choices are correct.

Answer:

a. The capacitance of the capacitor, C.

Explanation:  

Applying Gauss´Law to a closed surface enclosing one of the capacitor plates, it can be showed that the capacitance of a parallel plates capacitor, depends only on his geometry and the dielectric material between plates, as follows:

C = εo A / d, where d is the distance between plates.

If d is reduced to d/2, we can see that it produces as a net effect, to double the capacitance value.

<u>ALL of the following work assumes NO AIR RESISTANCE:</u>

1). an object moving under the influence of only gravity, and not in orbit;  its horizontal velocity is constant, and its vertical motion is accelerated downward at 9.8 m/s²

2). a parabola

3). Horizontal: velocity is constant, acceleration is zero. . . . Vertical: acceleration is 9.8 m/s² downward, velocity depends on whether it was launched, thrown up, thrown down, dropped, etc.

4). a). the one that was thrown horizontally; b). both  hit the ground at the same time; c). both hit the ground with the same vertical velocity

5). a). zero; b). zero; c). gravity ... 9.8 m/s² down; d). 3.06 seconds; e). 4.38 m/s; f). 30 m/s g). no; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

6). a). 1.8 seconds;   b). 13.1 meters;   c). 17.6 m/s down;   d). 7.3 m/s; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

7). 45 m/s

Two objects attract each other gravitationally. If the distance between their centers decreases by a factor of 2, how does the g
kramer

Answer:

The gravitational force between them increases by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a force of attraction between two objects with masses M and m which are separated by a distance R. It is given mathematically as:

Fg = GMm/R²

Where G = Gravitational constant.

If the distance between their centers, R, decreases by a factor of 2, then it means the new distance between their centers is:

r = R/2

Hence,the gravitational force becomes:

Fg = GMm/r²

Fg = GMm/(R/2)²

Fg = GMm/(R²/4)

Fg = 4GMm/R²

Hence,the gravitational force increases by a factor of 4.
