Answer:
The current in the circuit must be zero.
Explanation:
In a RC circuit, the steady state is reached when either the capacitor is fully charged or fully discharged. In either case, there must not be any current through the circuit because if it exists, it will deliver charge to the capacitor and thus change its charge, which is not a steady state.
W = 1/2k*x^2.
k = spring constant = 2500 n/m.
x = distance = 4 cm = 0.04m (convert to same units).
W = 1/2(2500)(0.04)^2 = 2J.
Answer:
The observer sees the space-probe 9.055m long.
Explanation:
Let 
be the length of the space-probe when measured at rest, and 
be its length as observed by an observer moving at velocity 
, then
Now, we know that 
and 
, and putting these into 
we get:
Thus, an observer moving at 0.95c observes the space-probe to be 9.055m long.
Yes that's a true statement. That's why grandmother put a hot water bottle to warm up her bed, and not a hot bar of steel or lead.
