An empty parallel plate capacitor is connected between the terminals of a 9.0-V battery and charged up. The capacitor is then di

sconnected from the battery, and the spacing between the capacitor plates is doubled. As a result of this change, what is the new voltage between the plates of the capacitor

Answer:

The new voltage between the plates of the capacitor is 18 V

Explanation:

The charge on parallel plate capacitor is calculated as;

q = CV

Where;

V is the battery voltage

C is the capacitance of the capacitor, calculated as;

C = \frac{\epsilon _0A}{d} \\\\q =CV = (\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d})V = \frac{\epsilon _0A V}{d}

q = \frac{\epsilon _0A V}{d}

where;

ε₀ is permittivity of free space

A is the area of the capacitor

d is the space between the parallel plate capacitors

If only the space between the capacitors is doubled and every other parameter is kept constant, the new voltage will be calculated as;

q = \frac{\epsilon _0A V}{d} \\\\\frac{\epsilon _0A V}{d}  = \frac{\epsilon _0A V}{d} \\\\\frac{V_1}{d_1}  = \frac{V_2}{d_2} \\\\V_2 = \frac{V_1d_2}{d_1} \\\\(d_2 = 2d_1)\\\\V_2 = \frac{V_1*2d_1}{d_1} \\\\(V_1 = 9V)\\\\V_2 = \frac{9*2d_1}{d_1} \\\\V_2 = 9*2\\\\V_2 = 18 \ V

Therefore, the new voltage between the plates of the capacitor is 18 V

two objects are thrown from the top of a tall building and experience no appreciable air resistance. one is thrown up and the ot
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The two objects are traveling at the same speed.

Explanation:

Neglecting air resistance, an object that is thrown up from the top of a tall building has the same speed as the second object thrown down from the top of the same tall building since the initial speed is the same.

The object thrown up is not traveling faster neither is the object thrown down traveling faster.  

Therefore, the two objects will have the same speed when they hit the ground but their time of landing might be different.

A ball is thrown straight up into the air and passes a window 3 seconds after being released. It passes the same window on its w
melomori [17]

The  initial velocity of the ball is 55.125 m/s.

<h3>Initial velocity of the ball</h3>

The initial velocity of the ball is calculated as follows;

During upward motion

h = vi - ¹/₂gt²

h = vi - 0.5(9.8)(3²)

h = vi - 44.1 ----------------- (1)

During downward motion

h = vi + ¹/₂gt²

h = 0 + 0.5(9.8)(1.5)²

h = 11.025 ----------- (2)

solve (1) and (2) together, to determine the initial velocity of the ball

11.025 = vi - 44.1

vi = 11.025 + 44.1

vi = 55.125 m/s

Thus, the  initial velocity of the ball is 55.125 m/s.

Explain how Pascal's principle can be used to design a fluid power system and describe how a fluid power system works.
zhenek [66]
Pascal's law of fluid transfer states that when there is an increase in fluid pressure, the rest of the extrinsic variables also increases. For example, in a flow of liquid in an orifice, there is a contraction of diameter in the orifice part. The fluid that will go in there increases in pressure and thereby an increase in velocity as well.
