Answer:

The new potential difference between the plates is 804 V

Explanation:

Capacitance of parallel plate capacitor is given by the relation:

C=\frac{\epsilon_{0}A }{d}       ....(1)

Here A is area of each plate, D is distance between the two plates and ε₀ is vacuum permittivity constant.

The relation between charge on the plates and potential difference across the plates is:

Q = CV

Substitute the equation (1) in the above equation.

Q=\frac{\epsilon_{0} A}{d}V    .....(2)

The equation (2) represents the initial condition of the problem, when the plates are d distance apart.

According to the problem, now the distance between the plates get double but area of plates and charge on the plate remains same.

Rewrite equation (2) in terms of new potential difference V₀:

Q=\frac{\epsilon_{0}A }{2d} V_{0}      .....(3)

Equating equation (2) and (3).

\frac{\epsilon_{0}A }{d} V=\frac{\epsilon_{0}A }{2d} V_{0}

V₀ = 2V

Substitute 402 volts for V in the above equation.

V₀ = 2 x 402

V₀ = 804 volts

Why is water not suitable for hydraulic machine​
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Hydraulic fluid has a higher boiling point than water to help combat this. Related to this is the concept of vapor pressure. Hydraulic systems often involve small orifices, which can cause cavitation (localized boiling). Water will also exacerbate galvanic corrosion when dissimilar metals are used in the system.

A 85-kg astronaut is stranded from his space shuttle. He throws a 1-kg hammer away from the shuttle with a velocity of 17 m/s. H
algol [13]

Answer:

0.2 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of astronaut, M = 85 Kg

mass of hammer, m = 1 Kg

velocity of hammer , v =17 m/s

speed of astronaut, v' = ?

initial speed of the astronaut and the hammer be equal to zero = ?

Using conservation of momentum

(M + m) V = M v' + m v

(M + m) x 0 = 85 x v' + 1 x 17

85 v' = -17

  v' = -0.2 m/s

negative sign represent the astronaut is moving in opposite direction of hammer.

Hence, the speed of the astronaut is equal to 0.2 m/s
