Capacitor 2 has half the capacitance and twice the potential difference as capacitor 1. What is the ratio (U_{\rm C})_1/\,(U_{\r

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by

$U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

where

C is the capacitance

V is the potential difference

Calling $C_1$ the capacitance of capacitor 1 and $V_1$ its potential difference, the energy stored in capacitor 1 is

$U=\frac{1}{2}C_1 V_1^2$

For capacitor 2, we have:

- The capacitance is half that of capacitor 1: $C_2 = \frac{C_1}{2}$

- The voltage is twice the voltage of capacitor 1: $V_2 = 2 V_1$

so the energy stored in capacitor 2 is

$U_2 = \frac{1}{2}C_2 V_2^2 = \frac{1}{2}\frac{C_1}{2}(2V_1)^2 = C_1 V_1^2$

So the ratio between the two energies is

$\frac{U_1}{U_2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}C_1 V_1^2}{C_1 V_1^2}=\frac{1}{2}$

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

82780.42123 m/s

14.45 days

Explanation:

m = Mass of the planet

M = Mass of the star = $0.85\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg=1.69065\times 10^{30}\ kg$

r = Radius of orbit of planet = $0.11\times 149.6\times 10^{9}\ m=16.456\times 10^{9}\ m$

v = Orbital speed

The kinetic and potential energy balance is given by

$\frac{GMm}{r^2}=\frac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Gm}{r}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.69065\times 10^{30}}{16.456\times 10^{9}}}\\\Rightarrow v=82780.42123\ m/s$

The orbital speed of the star is 82780.42123 m/s

The orbital period is given by

$t=\frac{2\pi r}{v}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{2\pi \times 16.456\times 10^{9}}{82780.42123}\\\Rightarrow t=1249040.48419\ seconds=\dfrac{1249040.48419}{24\times 60\times 60}=14.45\ days$

The orbital period is 14.45 days
