Answer:

Will be doubled.

Explanation:

For a capacitor of parallel plates of area A, separated by a distance d, such that the charges in the plates are Q and -Q, the capacitance is written as:

C = \frac{Q}{V}  = e_0\frac{A}{d}

where e₀ is a constant, the electric permittivity.

Now we can isolate V, the potential difference between the plates as:

V = \frac{Q}{e_0} *\frac{d}{A}

Now, notice that the separation between the plates is in the numerator.

Thus, if we double the distance we will get a new potential difference V', such that:

V' = \frac{Q}{e_0} *\frac{2d}{A} = 2*( \frac{Q}{e_0} *\frac{d}{A}) = 2*V\\V' = 2*V

So, if we double the distance between the plates, the potential difference will also be doubled.

Given a die, would it be more likely to get a single 6 in six rolls, at least two 6s in twelve rolls, or at least one-hundred 6s
vichka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

In first case we are interested in one time 6 in six rolls

Thus probability = number of chances required/Total chances

= 1/6

Similarly in the second case probability = 2/12 = 1/6

In the same way in last case probability = 100/600 = 1/6

The probability is the same . Thus all the cases has equal chances

A system consists of electrons and protons only. It contains 150 electrons and has a total charge of +22e. What is the mass of t
liubo4ka [24]

According to the statements the number of electrons is 150, then

e = 150

But there is a positive charge of +22e, then the number of protons would be

p = 150+172

If the mass of the electrons is

m_e = 9.11*10^{-31} kg

And the mass of the protong is

m_p = 1.673*10^{-27}kg

We have that the total mass of the system would be

m = e*m_e +pm_p

m = 150 * (9.11*10^{-31})+170(1.673*10^{-27})

m = 2.84547*10^{-25} kg

In mechanics, massless strings are often assumed. Why is that not a good assumption when discussing waves on strings?
Marizza181 [45]

In mechanics, massless strings are often assumed. but this is not a good assumption when discussing waves on strings because the speed of a wave on a massless string would be infinite.

<h3>How to explain the information?</h3>

It should be noted that waves simply means the dynamic disturbance of a quantity.

Q 19.23: A proton is initially moving at 3.0 x 105 m/s. It moves 3.5 m in the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the proton at the end of the motion is 1.425 x 10⁻¹⁶ J.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of proton, v_p_i = 3 x 10⁵ m/s

distance moved by the proton, d = 3.5 m

electric field strength, E = 120 N/C

The kinetic energy of the proton at the end of the motion is calculated as follows.

Consider work-energy theorem;

W = ΔK.E

W =K.E_f - K.E_i

where;

K.Ef is the final kinetic energy

W is work done in moving the proton = F x d  = (EQ) x d = EQd

K.E_f =EQd + \frac{1}{2}m_pv_p_i^2

m_p \ is \ mass \ of \ proton = 1.673 \ \times \ 10^{-27} kg \\\\Q \ is \ charge \ of \ proton = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

K.E_f = 120\times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 3.5   \ + \ \frac{1}{2}(1.673\times 10^{-27})(3\times 10^5)^2 \\\\

K.E_f = 6.72\times 10^{-17} \ + \ 7.53 \times 10^{-17} \\\\K.E_f = 14.25 \times 10^{-17} J\\\\K.E_f = 1.425\times 10^{-16} \ J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the proton at the end of the motion is 1.425 x 10⁻¹⁶ J.
