Answer:

The time constant is 1.049.

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge $q{t}= 0.65 q_{0}$

We need to calculate the time constant

Using expression for charging in a RC circuit

$q(t)=q_{0}[1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}]$

Where, $\dfrac{t}{RC}$ = time constant

Put the value into the formula

$0.65q_{0}=q_{0}[1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}]$

$1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}=0.65$

$e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}=0.35$

$-\dfrac{t}{RC}=ln (0.35)$

$-\dfrac{t}{RC}=-1.049$

$\dfrac{t}{RC}=1.049$

Hence, The time constant is 1.049.

What is the maximum rated voltage for a 100 ohm 1/4 watt resistor?

Debora [2.8K]

This can be solve using the formula P = I^2 * Rwhere P is the powerI is the CurrentR is the resistanceP = I^2 * R
1/4 Watt = I^2 * 100 ohm solve for II^2 = 1/400 I = 0.05 amps then using the formula to solve for the voltage:V = I * RV = 0.05 amps * 100 ohms V = 5 volts

Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant

Elena L [17]

Answer:

19 m/s

Explanation:

The complete question requires the final speed to be calculated.

Velocity is the rate and direction at which an object moves. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time and can be calculated by the difference in velocity over a given time.

For this question, first the unknown acceleration must be calculated and used to determine the final velocity

Step 1: Calculate the acceleration

$a=\frac{v_{2}-v{1}}{t_{1}}$

$a=\frac{11-7}{8}$

$a=\frac{4}{8}$

$a=0.5 m/s^{2}$

Step 2: Calculate the velocity using the acceleration calculated above

$a=\frac{v_{3}-v{2}}{t_{2}}$

$0.5=\frac{v_{3}-11}{16}$

$v_{3}=19 m/s$

Calculate delta g for the reaction if the partial pressures of the initial mixture are pcl5 = .0029 atm, pcl3 = .27 atm, and pcl

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: equation for the reaction is given below

PCL2+PCL3=PCL5

Where pcl2=0.40atm,pcl3=0.27atm

Pcl5=0.0029atm

Using ∆G=-RTin(PCL5/PCl2*PCL3)

Where R=8.314J/K/mol and T=298K

∆G=-8.314*298in(0.0029/0.40*.27)

∆G=8962.6J/mol

A large man sits on a four-legged chair with his feet off the floor. The combined mass of the man and chair is 95.0 kg. If the c

Leto [7]

Answer:

Pressure, $P=29.6\times 10^5\ Pa$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Combined mass of the man and the chair, m = 95 kg

Radius of the leg of chair, r = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m

A large man sits on a four-legged chair with his feet off the floor. The force acting per unit area is called the pressure exerted.

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}$

$P=\dfrac{mg}{A}$

Area of 4 legs, A = 4 A

$P=\dfrac{mg}{4\pi r^2}$

$P=\dfrac{95\times 9.8}{4\pi (0.005)^2}$

$P=29.6\times 10^5\ Pa$

So, the pressure each leg exert on the floor is $29.6\times 10^5\ Pa$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
