Two identical parallel plate capacitors a and b connected to a battery of v volts w/ the switch s closed. the switch is now opened and the free space between the plates of the capacitors is filled w/ a dielectric of dielectric constant k. find the ratio of the total electrostatic energy stored in both capacitors before and after the introduction of the dielectric.

Wo small variable-thrust jets are actuated to keep the spacecraft angular velocity about the z-axis constant at ? 0 = 1.16 rad/s as the two telescoping booms are extended from r1 = 1.18 m to r2 = 4.69 m at a constant rate over a period of 124 seconds. the small 19-kg experiment modules at the ends of the booms may be treated as particles, and the mass of the rigid booms is negligible. determine the necessary thrust t for each jet as a function of time where t = 0 is the time when the telescoping action is begun. after you have the general expression for t, answer the questions. show work.
