An empty plate capacitor is connected between the terminals ofa 9.0 V battery and charged up. The capacitor is then disconnected

from the battery, and the spacing between the capacitor plates isdoubled. As a result of the change, what is the new voltage betweenthe plates of the capacitor?
I have:
E = v/d
E =9 V
then the distance is doubled 9(2) = 18 V
I feel like maybe I over simplified the problem. Does thislook right?

Answer:

The new voltage between the parallel plates of the capacitor is 18V, because for a constant electric field, doubling the space between the parallel capacitor plates, will also double the potential difference (voltage) between the plates.

Explanation:

ΔV = E*Δd

Where;

ΔV is the change in potential difference

Δd is the change in the distance between the parallel plates

E is the electric field potential.

Assuming a constant electric field; E = \frac{v}{d} , then; \frac{v_1}{d_1} =\frac{v_2}{d_2}

when the spacing between the capacitor plates is doubled, d₂ = 2d₁

v₂ = (v₁*d₂)/(d₁)

v₂ = (v₁*2d₁)/(d₁)

v₂ = 2v₁

v₂  = 2(9) = 18 V

Therefore, for a constant electric field, doubling the space between the parallel capacitor plates, will also double the potential difference (voltage).

if heat energy is transferred from direct contact between a warm and a cold object it has been transferred by what ?
Katarina [22]

When heat energy is transferred from direct contact between a warm and a cold object , it is known as heat transfer by conduction.

In conduction, the heat transfer takes place within an object or between two objects in contact until the temperature becomes uniform. this kind of heat transfer continues until the temperature at two ends between which the heat transfer take place , becomes equal.  Heat transfer takes place from point at high temperature to point at lower temperature.

What is the speed of the animal from 0-20s? <br><br> 50 m/s<br> 0.4 m/s<br> 20 m/s<br> 2.5 m/s
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

2.5 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of the animal is given by the ratio between the distance travelled by the animal and the time elapsed:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where d is the distance travelled and t the time elapsed. Note that this quantity is also equal to the slope of the curve.

In the time interval 0-20 s, we have

d = 50 m - 0 m = 50 m

t = 20 s - 0 s = 20 s

So, the speed is

v=\frac{50 m}{20 s}=2.5 m/s
