A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery. The energy of the capacitor is U0. The capacitor remains connected to the battery while the plates are slowly pulled apart until the plate separation doubles. The new energy of the capacitor is U. Find the ratio U/U0.

When a spring is compressed, the energy changes from kinetic to potential. which best describes what is causing this change? work power gravitational energy chemical energy

Consider a double atwood machine constructed as follows: a mass 4m is suspended from a string that passes over a massless pulley on frictionless bearings. the other end of this string supports a second similar pulley, over which passes a second string supporting a mass of 3m at one end and m at the other. using two suitable generalized coordinates, set up the lagrangian and use the lagrange equations to find the acceleration of the mass 4m when the system is released. explain why the top pulley rotates even though it carries equal weights on each side.
