When two or more identical capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference?

1 answer:

6 0

<span>When two or more identical capacitors (or resistors) are connected
in series across a potential difference, the potential difference divides
equally among them.

For example, if you have nine identical capacitors (or resistors) all
connected end-to-end like elephants in a circus parade, and you
connect the string to a source of 117 volts (either AC or DC), then
you will measure

(117v / 9) = 13 volts

across each unit in the string.</span>

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Robert Boyle's law where:

$PV=nRT$

Where,

P = Pressure

V = Volume

T = Temperature

n = amount of substance

R = Ideal gas constant

We start by calculating the volume of inhaled O_2 for it:

$V = 21\% * 0.66L$

$V = 0.1386L$

Our values are given as

P = 1atm

T=293K $R = 0.083145kJ*mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

Using the equation to find n, we have:

$PV=nRT$

$n = \frac{PV}{RT}$

$n = \frac{(1)(0.1386)}{(0.0821)(293)}$

$n = 5.761*10^{-3}mol$

Number of molecules would be found through Avogadro number, then

$\#Molecules = 5.761*10^{-3}*6.022*10^{23}$

$\#Molecules = 3.469*10^{21} molecules$

A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s. D A 33% Part (a) How long does it take to reach its top speed of

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a) 17.49 seconds

b) 13.12 seconds

c) 2.99 m/s²

Explanation:

a) Acceleration = a = 1.35 m/s²

Final velocity = v = 85 km/h = $85\frac{1000}{3600}=23.61\ m/s$

Initial velocity = u = 0

Equation of motion

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 23.61=0+1.35t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.35}=17.49\ s$

Time taken to accelerate to top speed is 17.49 seconds.

b) Acceleration = a = -1.8 m/s²

Initial velocity = u = 23.61\ m/s

Final velocity = v = 0

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61-1.8t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.8}=13.12\ s$

Time taken to stop the train from top speed is 13.12 seconds

c) Initial velocity = u = 23.61 m/s

Time taken = t = 7.9 s

Final velocity = v = 0

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61+a7.9\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{-23.61}{7.9}=-2.99\ m/s^2$

Emergency acceleration is 2.99 m/s² (magnitude)

You want to move a 4- kg bookcase to a different place in the living room. If u push with a force of 65 n and the bookcase accel

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

1.65

Explanation:

The equation of the forces along the horizontal direction is:

$F-F_f = ma$ (1)

where

F = 65 N is the force applied with the push

$F_f$ is the frictional force

m = 4 kg is the mass

$a=0.12 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

The force of friction can be written as $F_f = \mu R$ (2), where

$\mu$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

R is the normal force exerted by the floor

The equation of forces along the vertical direction is

$R-mg=0$ (3)

since the bookcase is in equilibrium. Substituting (2) and (3) into (1), we find

$F-\mu mg = ma$

And solving for $\mu$ ,

$\mu = \frac{F-ma}{mg}=\frac{65-(4)(0.12)}{4(9.8)}=1.65$
