Answer:

Explanation:

Electric energy per unit volume

= (1 / 2) x ε₀ E²

Total energy

= energy per unit volume x volume

=  (1 / 2) x ε₀ E² x A d  , A is plate area

= (1 / 2A) x (ε₀ (σ/ε₀)² x A² d) [ E is electric field ]

(1 / 2A) x (ε₀ (σA/ε₀)² X d)

(1 / 2A) x (ε₀ (Q/ε₀)² X d

= (1 / 2A) x (Q²/ε₀) x d

So total energy is proportional to d , distance between plates

if  d is changed to d/2

total energy also becomes half.

(1 / 2A) x (Q²/ε₀) x d / 2

(1 / 4A) x (Q²/ε₀) x d

=

Vector A, with magnitude 28.0 units, points in the positive y-direction. Vector A + B has a magnitude of 19.0 units and points i
Leokris [45]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

|B|  = 47.0 units

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The sum of two vectors (A) and (B) gives another vector (A + B). i.e

(A + B) = (A) + (B)       ----------------(i)

<em>From the question;</em>

Vector A = 28.0 units in the positive y-direction. This means that the value of the x-component is zero and the value of the y-component is +28

In unit vector notation vector A is given as;

A = 0i + 28.0j

Vector A + B = 19.0 units in the negative y-direction. This means that the value of the x-component is zero and the value of the y-component is -19.0

In unit vector notation, vector A + B is given as;

A + B = 0i - 19.0j

To get the magnitude of vector B, make B the subject of the formula in equation (i) as follows;

(B) = (A + B) - (A)            ------------------ (ii)

Substitute the values of the vectors (A) and (A + B) into equation (ii) as follows;

(B) = (0i - 19.0j) - (0i + 28.0j)

(B) = - 19.0j - 28.0j

(B) = - 47.0j

The magnitude of B, |B|, is therefore;

|B| = |-47.0|

|B| = 47.0 units

A car with a mass 1200 kg accelerates at 1.89 m/s2. What is the total force exerted by the car on the road (answer in N to two d
Reptile [31]
Formula:
F = ma
F: force (N) m: mass (kg) a: acceleration (m/s^2)

Solution:
F = ma
F = 1200 × 1.89
= 2268N

A seashell is suspended in the air at rest by two strands of spider silk. Each strand of silk makes an angle of 75 degrees above
Ksenya-84 [330]

The mass of the seashell suspended by the two strands of spider silk is 0.28 kg.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Tension on each strand of silk, T = 1.42 N</em>
  • <em>Angle of inclination of each strand, θ = 75⁰</em>

The mass of the seashell at equilibrium is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;

\Sigma F = 0\\\\T_1 sin(\theta) + T_2 sin(\theta) - W = 0

where;

  • W is the weight of the seashell

The weight of the seashell is calculated as;

1.42 \times sin(75) \ + \ 1.42 \times sin(75) \ - W = 0\\\\2.743 - W = 0\\\\W = 2.743 \ N

The mass of the seashell is calculated as follows;

W = mg\\\\m = \frac{W}{g} \\\\m = \frac{2.743}{9.8} \\\\m = 0.28 \ kg

Thus, the mass of the seashell suspended by the two strands of spider silk is 0.28 kg.
