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).

Conduction

conducted

Conduction occurs when a substance is heated, particles will gain more energy, and vibrate more. These molecules then bump into nearby particles and transfer some of their energy to them. This then continues and passes the energy from the hot end down to the colder end of the substance.

The Chernobyl reactor accident in what is now Ukraine was the worst nuclear disaster of all time. Fission products from the reac
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The correct answer is "53.15 days".

Explanation:

Given that:

Half life of 131_{I},

T_{\frac{1}{2} }= 8 \ days

  • Let the initial activity be "R_o".
  • and, activity to time t be "R".

To find t when R will be "1%" of R_o, then

⇒ R=\frac{1}{100}R_o

As we know,

⇒ R=R_o e^{-\lambda t}

or,

∴ e^{\lambda t}=\frac{R_o}{R}

By putting the values, we get

        =\frac{R_o}{\frac{R}{100} }

        =100

We know that,

Decay constant, \lambda = \frac{ln2}{T_{\frac{1}{2} }}

hence,

⇒ \lambda t=ln100

     t=\frac{ln100}{\lambda}

        =\frac{ln100}{\frac{ln2}{8} }

        =53.15 \ days

The vector position of an object is given by r what is the torque acting on the object about the origin when a force f = (−12.5i
attashe74 [19]
Let the vector position of the object in the (x-y) plane be 
\vec{r} = x \hat{i} + y \hat{j}

The applied force is
\vec{f} = -12.5 \hat{i}


By definition, the applied torque is
\vec{T} = \vec{r} \times \vec{f} = (x\hat{i} + y\hat{j}) \times (-12.5y \hat{i}) = 12.5\hat{k}

Answer: 12.5y \, \hat{k}

while the woods hole martha's vineyard ferry boat steamed along at 8 mph through calm seas, passenger casey exercised by walking
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

If  Casey is going in the boat's direction, her speed relative to the water is 12 mph in the direction of the boat.

If she is going oposite the boat's direction, her speed relative to the water is 4 mph in the direction of the boat.

If she is going perpendicular to the boat, her speed relative to the water is 8.94 mph in a direction that forms an angle of about 26º with the direction the boat is moving.

Explanation:

The speed of Casey with respect with the water depends on the direction she's moving in the deck. The deck has four sides, so there's four possible directions for Casey to move.

Since the water is calm, it's velocity is 0 mph so it doesn't modify the speeds of either Casey or the boat.

Let's consider the boat is moving to the right. That means it's speed with respecto to the water is 8 mph. If we were floating on the water watching from the side the boat and Casey pass by, when she's moving from left to right she seems faster beacuse she's moving in the same direction as the boat and her speed is added to the boats, so it would seem she's walking at <em>8 mph + 4 mph = 12 mph</em>.

When Casey is moving from riht to left on the deck, she would seem to be moving from left to right at a speed of 4 mph from the water, because the boats speed is higher than hers and is in the opposite direction.

Finally, when she is moving either upwards or downwards, her direction forms a 90º angle with the direction the boat is moving, so her total speed is a vector with horizontal component of 8 mph (going from left to right, the boats speed) and vertical component of 4 mph (with the direction she's moving, either upwards or downwards). By Pythagoras theorem, her velocity would be <em>\sqrt{(8 mph)^2+(4mph)^2}=8.94 mph </em>and her direction would form an angle of arccotangent(\frac{4}{8})=0.464 rads with the direction the boat is moving, which is about 26º.
