Answer:

C) 388.07

Explanation:

It is a spring therefore, there must be Elastic potential energy. Now what is the formula for elastic potential energy? It is 1/2 *k *x^2

K=spring constant

x= displacement  

1/2=.5 (hate fractions)

Now, Displacement simply means (how much was it moved?) So, that means subtract.

87-20= 67   x=67

Next, do x^2 (so you don't make a mistake by squaring everything :)  )

67*67=4,489

NOW, do....

.5*1729*4,489=3,880,740.5

Now convert to Joules, I just did 3,880,740.5  / 10^3 = 3880.745

round to 3880.7 J

A parallel plate capacitor with plates of area A and plate separation d is charged so that the potential difference between its
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a parallel plate capacitor of

Area=A

Distance apart =d

Potential difference, =V

If the distance is reduce to d/2

What is p.d

We know that

Q=CV

Then,

V=Q/C

Then this shows that the voltage is inversely proportional to the capacitance

Therefore,

V∝1/C

So, VC=K

Now, the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given as

C= εA/d

When the distance apart is d

Then,

C1=εA/d

When the distance is half d/2

C2= εA/(d/2)

C2= 2εA/d

Then, applying

VC=K

V1 is voltage of the full capacitor V1=V

V2 is the required voltage let say V'

Then,

V1C1=V2C2

V × εA/d=V' × 2εA/d

VεA/d = 2V'εA/d

Then the εA/d cancels on both sides and remains

V=2V'

Then, V'=V/2

The potential difference is half when the distance between the parallel plate capacitor was reduce to d/2

A jogger runs 300 meters due east and then turns and runs 500 meters due west.
valentina_108 [34]
It’ll be 200 meters West because 500-300=200 and The west direction has the greatest force you could say ... Anytime you have a question asking about displacement you subtract then use the direction with the greatest number ..
