Answer:

C

Explanation:

Using the two formulas q =CV and C =<em>∈A/d where q = charge, C = Capacitance, V =Voltage, ∈=permittivity of dielectric, A = area of plates and d = distance between plates. </em>Increasing the plate separation decreases the Capacitance thereby decreasing the charge also.

Answer:

A) The energy stored in the capacitor increases.

Explanation:

For a capacitor fully charged by battery, when disconnected from battery and the plate separation is increased. The charge on the plate remain constant because there is no where for it to go( it has been disconnected from battery). But the capacitance would decrease, while also the potential difference would increase.

Q = CV ....1

Q is the charge, C is capacitance, V is the potential difference.

The energy stored in a capacitor is given by:

E = 1/2 CV^2

E = 1/2 QV .......2

E is the energy stored in the capacitor,

Therefore since Q remain constant and V increases when the distance between the plates is increased, then according to the equation 2 above the energy stored in the capacitor increases.

A 0.6 kg block attached to a spring of force constant 13.6 N/m oscillates with an amplitude of 9 cm. Find the maximum speed of t
mash [69]

Answer:

1) 0.43 meters per second

2) 0.21 meters per second

3) 1.02 \frac{m}{s^{2}}

4) 0.66 seconds

Explanation:

part 1

By conservation of energy, the maximum kinetic energy (K) of the block is at equilibrium point where the potential energy is zero. So, at the equilibrium kinetic energy is equal to maximum potential energy (U):

K=U

\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kx_{max}^2}{2}

With m the mass, v the speed, k the spring constant and xmax the maximum position respect equilibrium position. Solving for v

v=\sqrt{\frac{kx_{max}^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{(13.6)(0.09m)^2}{0.6}}=0.43\frac{m}{s}

part 2

Again by conservation of energy we have kinetic energy equal potential energy:

\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kx_{max}^2}{2}=

v=\sqrt{\frac{kx_{max}^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{(13.6)(0.045m)^2}{0.6}}=0.21\frac{m}{s}

part 3

Acceleration can be find using Newton's second law:

F=ma

with F the force, m the mass and a the acceleration, but elastic force is -kx, so:

-kx=ma

a= -\frac{kx}{m}=-\frac{(13.6)(0.045)}{0.6}=-1.02\frac{m}{s^{2}}

part 4

The period of an oscillator is the time it takes going from one extreme to the other one, that is going form 4.5 cm to -4.5 cm respect the equilibrium position. That period is:

T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}=T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.6}{13.6}}=1.32s

So between 0 and 4.5 cm we have half a period:

t=\frac{T}{2}=0.66s

swat32
You didn't actually include the speed of sound. But it doesn't matter for this question. If the trumpeter and the listener are on the same moving sidewalk then the distance between them is not changing. The Doppler shift only happens when the distance between the source and the Observer is changing. So the Listener hears the same 290 Hertz that the trumpeter is generating.
