Answer:

Capacitance of the second capacitor = 2C

Explanation:

\texttt{Capacitance, C}=\frac{\varepsilon_0A}{d}

Where A is the area, d is the gap between plates and ε₀ is the dielectric constant.

Let C₁ be the capacitance of first capacitor with area A₁ and gap between plates d₁.

We have    

              \texttt{Capacitance, C}_1=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{d_1}=C

Similarly for capacitor 2

               \texttt{Capacitance, C}_2=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_2}{d_2}=\frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{\frac{d_1}{2}}=2\times \frac{\varepsilon_0A_1}{d_1}=2C

Capacitance of the second capacitor = 2C

If P = 4.00î + 3.00k, P · Q = 17.0, and P ✕ Q = −6.00ĵ, determine the vector Q.
Butoxors [25]

let the vector Q is given as

\vec Q = a\hat i + b\hat j + c\hat k

given that

P X Q = -6\hat j

here we know that

P = 4\hat i + 3 \hatk

now by above equation

(4\hat i + 3\hat k) X (a\hat i + b\hat j + c\hat k) = - 6\hat j

4b\hat k - 4c\hat j + 3a\hat j - 3b\hat i = - 6\hat j

so by comparing both sides

b = 0

4c - 3a = 6

also we know that

a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 17^2

a^2 + 0 + (1.5 + 0.75a)^2 = 289

by solving above equation

a = 12.85 and c = 11.14

so the vector Q is given as

Q = 12.85\hat i + 11.14\hat k

Explain the difference between a conductor and an insulator. Give two examples of each.
docker41 [41]
There are different kinds of conductors, most notably electrical and thermal conductors. But they are often inclusive of each other (electrical conductors are typically good thermal conductors). A conductor transmits something through its body with high efficiency while an insulator does not transmit very well. In the case of electricity, a conductor transmits electrical energy between two points while an insulator blocks the flow of electricity. Two examples of conductors are copper and silver. Two examples of insulators are wood and styrofoam.

Find the impulse a 1500 kg car experiences slowing down from 40m/s to 10m/s?
Kitty [74]

Answer: - 45000 N.s

Explanation: Impulse is equal to the change in momentum

J = Δp

To solve for impulse we calculate the change in momentum

Δp = m ( Δv)

     = 1500 kg ( 10 m/s - 40 m/s)

     = - 45000 N.s

What happens when a ray of light is directed at a mirror, a glass block and a prism?
zimovet [89]
When it is directed at a mirror it is reflected
When it is directed at a glass block it refracts
When it is directed through a prism the light splits to form a spectrum ( red orange yellow green blue indigo and violet )

Hope this is ok

What quantity do units represent in a value?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer : Magnitude

Explanation :

In a value, the magnitude is represented by its units. It can be adopted by convention or by law.

Magnitude of any unit is used to measure the same kind of quantity.

For example: The unit of length which is a physical quantity is meter (m).

So, magnitude is correct answer.
