Four objects are situated along the y axis as follows: a 1.93-kg object is at +2.91 m, a 2.95-kg object is at +2.43 m, a 2.41-kg

object is at the origin, and a 3.99-kg object is at -0.496 m.
Where is the center of mass of these objects?

Answer:

0.958 m

Explanation:

So the total mass of the system is

M = 1.93 + 2.95 + 2.41 + 3.99 = 11.28  kg

let y be the distance from the center of mass to the origin. With the reference to the origin then we have the following equation

My = m_1y_1 + m_2y_2 +m_3y_3 + m_4y_4

11.28y = 1.93*2.91 + 2.95*2.43 + 2.41*0 + 3.99*(-0.496) = 10.806

y = \frac{10.806}{11.28} = 0.958 m

So the center of mass is 0.958 m from the origin

An ideal parallel - plate capacitor consists of two parallel plates of area A separated by a distance d. This capacitor is conne
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The capacitance is cut in half.

Explanation:

The capacitance of a plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area A of the plates and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates d. So if the distance was doubled we should expect that the capacitance would be cut in half. That can be verified by the following equation that is used to compute the capacitance in such cases:

C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)

Where \epsilon is a constant that represents the characteristics for the insulator between the plates. A is the area of the plates and d is the distance between them. When we double d we have a new capacitance, given by:

C_new = (\epsilon)*(A/2d)

C_new = (1/2)*[(\epsilon)*(A/d)]

Since C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)] we have:

C_new = (1/2)*C
