An ideal parallel-plate capacitor consists of a set of two parallel plates of area A separated by a very small distance d. When

the capacitor plates carry charges + Q and - Q, the capacitor stores energy U 0. If the separation between the plates is doubled, how much electrical energy is stored in the capacitor?

Answer:

2dQ²/2εA = 2U₀

Explanation:

The energy stored in the ideal parallel plate capacitor U = Q²/2C. For a parallel plate capacitor, C = εA/d where A is the area between the plates and D is the distance between them. So

U = Q²/2C = Q²/2εA/d = dQ²/2εA. At distance d₁ = d, U = U₀,

U₀ = dQ²/2εA,

When d₂ = 2d, U₁ = d₂Q²/2εA = 2dQ²/2εA = 2U₀

You would have to place your sensor above earth's atmosphere because it blocks out nearly all x-rays. this is why we have the Chandra observatory

A merry-go-round is shaped like a uniform disk and has moment of inertia of 50,000 kg m 2 . It is rotating so that it has an ang
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

r = 20 m

Explanation:

The formula for the angular momentum of a rotating body is given as:

L = mvr

where,

L = Angular Momentum = 10000 kgm²/s

m = mass

v = speed = 2 m/s

r = radius of merry-go-round

Therefore,

10000 kg.m²/s = mr(2 m/s)

m r = (10000 kg.m²/s)/(2 m/s)

m r = 5000 kg.m   ------------- equation 1

Now, the moment of inertia of a solid uniform disc about its axis through its center is given as:

I = (1/2) m r²

where,

I = moment of inertia = 50000 kg.m²

Therefore,

50000 kg.m² = (1/2)(m r)(r)

using equation 1, we get:

50000 kg.m² = (1/2)(5000 kg.m)(r)

(50000 kg.m²)/(2500 kg.m) = r

<u>r = 20 m</u>

What is the torque τa about axis a due to the force f⃗ ? express the torque about axis a at cartesian coordinates (0,0)?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

\tau_a = F a sin \theta

Explanation:

The torque of a force is given by:

\tau = F d sin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the distance between the point of application of the force and the centre of rotation of the system

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and d

In this problem, we have:

F, the force

a, the distance of application of the force from the centre (0,0)

\theta, the angle between the direction of the force and a

Therefore, the torque is

\tau_a = F a sin \theta
