To have a uniform field. The field is the voltage between the plates divided by the distance between the plates. If the distance varies so would the field between them.

Answer:

to form a uniform electric field between the plates

Explanation:

As we know that the capacitor is a device which is used to store the electrostatic potential energy between the plates.

So here our aim is to design such a capacitor system which will store energy between two plates and that energy will be uniform if the two plates are parallel to each other

If the two plates are not parallel to each other then in that case the field between the plates becomes non uniform and that will form make the charge distribution non uniform.

So here correct answer will be

<em>to form a uniform electric field between the plates </em>

A 113 kg man sits on the stern of a 6.3 m long boat. The prow of the
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

m = 105.37 kg

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of man; m = 113 kg

Length of boat = 6.3m

Now, The position of the center of mass will not change during the motion of the man.

Thus,

X_g,i = X_g,f

So,

[113(6.3) + ma]/(113 + m) = [113(3.26) + m(a +3.26)]/(113 + m)

113 + m will cancel on both sides to give;

113(6.3) + ma = [113(3.26) + m(a +3.26)]

711.9 + ma = 368.38 + ma + 3.26m

ma will cancel out to give;

711.9 - 368.38 = 3.26m

343.52/3.26 = m

m = 105.37 kg

aev [14]

Answer:

where the y axis is

Explanation:

In more simple terms, a horizontal line on any chart is where the y-axis values are equal. If it has been drawn to show a series of highs in the data, a data point moving above the horizontal line would indicate a rise in the y-axis value over recent values in the data sample.
