Answer:

a. Decreases

b. Increases

c. Remains the same

d. Increases

Explanation:

a. Capacitance is given by c= Ak€/d

where A is conductivity plate with Area

K is a constant

€ is dielectric with permittivity.

d is the distance

b. Potential difference is given by

V = Ed, since, the electric field remains the

same, the potential diterence also increases with increase in distance.

Since the capacitance depends upon the distance, and all the other factors are kept constant, the capacitance decreases.

c. Electric field remains the same because charge on the

plate remains the same.

d. since electric field remains the same and capacitance decreases, the energy increases.

E= 1/2c * Q^2

What is the formula for lithium and chlorine?
siniylev [52]
LiCl, because lithium (Li) has one positively charged ion (1+), and
chloride (Cl) has one negatively charged ion (1-), so they
cancel each other out.

A glass tube 1 mm in diameter is dipped into glycerin. The density of the glycerin is 1260 kg/m3, surface tension is 6.3x10-2 N/
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The capillary rise of the glycerin is most nearly  y  =  0.0204 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The diameter of the glass tube is  d =  1 \ mm =  0.001 \ m

   The density of glycerin is  \rho =  1260 \ kg /m^3

   The surface tension of the glycerin is \sigma   =  6.3 *10^{-2} \ N /m

The capillary rise of the glycerin is mathematically represented as

       y  =  \frac{4 * \sigma  *  cos (\theta )}{ \rho * g *  d}

substituting value  

       y  =  \frac{4 * 6.3 *10^{-2}  *  cos (0 )}{ 1260 * 9.8 *  0.001}

      y  =  0.0204 \ m

Therefore the height  of the glass tube  the glycerin was able to cover is

y  =  0.0204 \ m

Determine the stopping distances for a car with an initial speed of 88 km/h and human reaction time of 2.0 s for the following a
seropon [69]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 88 km/h = 24.44 m/s

Reaction time, t = 2 s

Distance covered during this time, d=24.44\times 2=48.88\ m

(a) Acceleration, a=-4\ m/s^2

We need to find the stopping distance, v = 0. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -4}

s = 74.66 meters

s = 74.66 + 48.88 = 123.54 meters

(b) Acceleration, a=-8\ m/s^2

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -8}

s = 37.33 meters

s = 37.33 + 48.88 = 86.21 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 3858 N piano is to be pushed up a(n) 3.49 m frictionless plank that makes an angle of 31.6 ◦ with the horizontal. Calculate th
uranmaximum [27]
The work done will be equal to the potential energy of the piano at the final position

P.E=m.g.h

.consider the plank the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed with the ground
.let x be the angle with the ground=31.6°
.h be the side opposite to the angle x (h is the final height of the piano)
.let L be the length of the plank

sinx=opposite side / hypotenuse
= h/L

then h=L.sinx=3.49×sin31.6°=0.638m

weight w=m.g
m=w/g=3858/10=385.8kg

Consider Gravity g=10m/s2

then P.E.=m.g.h=385.8kg×10×0.638=2461.404J

then Work W=P.E.=2451.404J
