Answer:

C=2.54\cdot 10^5\ F

Explanation:

<u>Energy Stored on a Capacitor</u>

This energy is stored in the electric field present when a voltage V is applied to a capacitor C. It can be computed by the formula

\displaystyle  E=\frac{CV^2}{2}

We can compute the energy by knowing the power dissipated in the flashlamp is P=8 W in a time of 7 \mu s=7\cdot 10^{-6}\ sec

\displaystyle  E=\frac{P}{t}=\frac{8\ W}{7\cdot 10^{-6}\ sec}=1.14\cdot 10^6\ J

Solving the first equation for C

\displaystyle  C=\frac{2E}{V^2}

\displaystyle  C=\frac{2\times 1.14\cdot 10^6}{3^2}

\boxed{C=2.54\cdot 10^5\ F}

72km/hr = 72000m/3600seconds(we convert km/hr to m/s
= 20m/s
Velocity= 20m/s
In 4seconds,distance covered=20x4= 80m
Therefore,an accident occurs because in 4seconds, the car would have moved past 20m

A person measures his or her heart rate by counting the number of beats in 30s. If 40±1 beats are counted in 30.0±0.5s, what is
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Rate = 1.33 \pm 0.055 beats per second

Explanation:

Number of heart beats = 40 \pm 1

time taken = 30.0 \pm 0.5 s

now we have

N = 40 \pm 2.5%

t = 30.0 \pm 1.67%

now rate of heart beat is defined as number of heart beat per unit of time

so we have

Rate = \frac{N}{t}

Rate = \frac{40 \pm 2.5}{30 \pm 1.67}

so we have

Rate = 1.33 \pm (2.5 + 1.67 )

Rate = 1.33 \pm 4.17%

Rate = 1.33 \pm 0.055 beats per second
