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

It is easier to overcome load when the load is shifted towards the wheel in a wheelbarrow why ? give reason

krok68 [10]

Answer:

The wheelbarrow's wheel and axle help the wheelbarrow to move without friction thus making it easier to push or pull. That's why it will be easier to lift a load in wheel barrow of the load is transferred towards the wheel.

Space-faring astronauts cannot use standard weight scales (since they are constantly in free fall) so instead they determine the

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

ma = 48.48kg

Explanation:

To find the mass of the astronaut, you first calculate the mass of the chair by using the information about the period of oscillation of the empty chair and the spring constant. You use the following formula:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m_c}{k}}$ (1)

mc: mass of the chair

k: spring constant = 600N/m

T: period of oscillation of the chair = 0.9s

You solve the equation (1) for mc, and then you replace the values of the other parameters:

$m_c=\frac{T^2k}{4\pi^2}=\frac{(0.9s)^2(600N/m)}{4\pi^2}=12.31kg$ (2)

Next, you calculate the mass of the chair and astronaut by using the information about the period of the chair when the astronaut is sitting on the chair:

T': period of chair when the astronaut is sitting = 2.0s

M: mass of the astronaut plus mass of the chair = ?

$T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{M}{k}}\\\\M=\frac{T'^2k}{4\pi^2}=\frac{(2.0s)^2(600N/m)}{4\pi^2}\\\\M=60.79kg$ (3)

Finally, the mass of the astronaut is the difference between M and mc (results from (2) and (3)) :

$m_a=M-m_c=60.79kg-12.31kg=48.48kg$

The mass of the astronaut is 48.48 kg
