zlopas [31]

Answer:

Elastic Potential Energy

Explanation:

Elastic Potential Energy (“Spring Energy”) is the form of energy an object has when it is stretched, compressed, twisted, bent, or otherwise has its shape changed as long as the object resists and will try to return to its original state.

Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same plate area. Capacitor 1 has a plate separation twice that of capacitor 2, and the qu
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

V_1=8 V_2

Explanation:

Given that:

  • Area of the plate of capacitor 1= Area of the plate of capacitor 2=A
  • separation distance of capacitor 2, d_2=d
  • separation distance of capacitor 1, d_1=2d
  • quantity of charge on capacitor 2, Q_2=Q
  • quantity of charge on capacitor 1, Q_1=4Q

We know that the Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area and inversely proportional to the distance of separation.

Mathematically given as:

C=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}.....................................(1)

where:

k = relative permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates= 1 for air

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\,F.m^{-1}

From eq. (1)

For capacitor 2:

C_2=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}

For capacitor 1:

C_1=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}

C_1=\frac{1}{2} [ \frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}]

We know, potential differences across a capacitor is given by:

V=\frac{Q}{C}..........................................(2)

where, Q = charge on the capacitor plates.

for capacitor 2:

V_2=\frac{Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}}

V_2=\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}

& for capacitor 1:

V_1=\frac{4Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}}

V_1=\frac{4Q\times 2d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}

V_1=8\times [\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}]

V_1=8 V_2

valina [46]

Answer: The answer would be C. When Octopus eject the water out, the water acts with an equal force on the octopus in opposite direction.

Explanation:

An octopus propels itself forward in the water by ejecting water backward through a funnel in its body.

Hope this helps! :D
