During an auto accident, the vehicle's air bags deploy and slow down the passengers more gently than if they had hit the windshi

U = 1794.005 × 10⁶ J. Explanation: Information provided indicates that the capacitance of the original capacitor is C = 1.27 F, and the potential difference applied to it is V = 59.9 kV, or 59.9 × 10³ V. The potential energy (U) for the capacitor is determined by the formula: U = (1/2) × C × V². Substituting the respective values, we find U = (1/2) × 1.27 × (59.9 × 10³)², resulting in U = 1794.005 × 10⁶ J.

Answer:

(A) The tension's magnitude grows to four times the initial value, 4F.

Explanation:

When an object travels in a circular path, a centripetal force is exerted upon it. In this instance, the centripetal force acting on the stone can be represented by .

                   Here, m denotes the mass of the object

                               v is the velocity or speed of the object

                               r signifies the radius of the circular path

Importantly, the tension corresponds to the centripetal force.

Initially, the string completes one revolution each second, and subsequently, it accelerates to perform two revolutions in the same time frame. This signifies that the speed has increased twofold.

Applying our formula:F =

                               where F indicates the tension in the string

assuming the starting speed is v, after doubling it becomes 2v

Maintaining the circle's radius, we arrive at:

F=

From this equation, it's clear that the initial tension has quadrupled.

Consequently, the magnitude of the tension increases to four times its original value, 4F.
