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.

Answer:

V=9.2565m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Force F = 34 N  

Time t = 0.6 s

Length of pedal l_p=16.5cm \approx0.165m

Radius of wheel r = 33 cm = 0.33 m

Moment of inertia, I = 1200 kgcm2 = 0.12 kg.m2

Generally the equation for Torque on pedal \mu is mathematically given by

\mu=F*L\\\mu=34*0.165

\mu=5.61N.m

Generally the equation for  angular acceleration \alpha is mathematically given by

 \alpha=\frac{\mu}{l}

 \alpha=\frac{5.61}{0.12}

 \alpha=46.75

Therefore Angular speed is \omega

\omega=\alpha*t

\omega=(46.75)*(0.6)

\omega=28.05rad/s

Generally the equation for  Tangential velocity V is mathematically given by

V=r\omega

V=(0.33)(28.05)

V=9.2565m/s

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

2.12 rpm

Explanation:

a_c= Centripetal\ acceleration=3.00\ m/s^2\\r=radius=\frac {120}{2}=60\ m\\a_c=\frac {v^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow v^2=a_c\times r\\\Rightarrow v^2=3\times 60=180\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{180}=13.41\ m/s\\

v=\omega r\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac {v}{r}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac {13.41}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=0.2236\ rad/s\\1\ rad/s=9.55\ rpm\\\Rightarrow 0.2236\ rad/s=2.12\ rpm\\\therefore Wheel\ rotations=2.12\ rpm

A positive charge of 18nC is evenly distributed along a straight rod of length 4.0 m that is bent into a circular arc with a rad
sergey [27]

Explanation:

Formula for angle subtended at the center of the circular arc is as follows.

           \theta = \frac{S}{r}

where,   S = length of the rod

              r = radius

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.      

                \theta = \frac{S}{r}

                             = \frac{4}{2}

                             = 2 radians (\frac{180^{o}}{\pi})

                             = 114.64^{o}

Now, we will calculate the charge density as follows.

                 \lambda = \frac{Q}{L}

                            = \frac{18 \times 10^{-9} C}{4 m}

                            = 4.5 \times 10^{-9} C/m

Now, at the center of arc we will calculate the electric field as follows.

                 E = \frac{2k \lambda Sin (\frac{\theta}{2})}{r}

                     = \frac{2(9 \times 10^{9} Nm^{2}/C^{2})(4.5 \times 10^{-9}) Sin (\frac{114.64^{o}}{2})}{2 m}

                      = 34.08 N/C

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the electric eld at the center of curvature of the arc is 34.08 N/C.
