The function of a capacitor in an electric circuit is to?

Physics
1 answer:
Tema [17]3 years ago
4 0

Well let's see:

A). No.  A capacitor doesn't measure anything.

B). No.  The power delivered to the circuit is determined by
              the battery or power supply and all the things in
              the circuit that dissipate energy.  A capacitor doesn't
              do any of these things.

C). No.  If any current actually flows between its plates,
             the capacitor is shot and can't do its job, and
             must be replaced.

D). Yes. A capacitor stores charges on its plates, and
              electrical energy in the field between its plates.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

For real gas the volume of a given mass of gas will increase with increase in temperature.

Explanation:

With the piston head locked in place and place above the fire,the volume of the gas will increase,because the volume of a given mass of gas increases with increase temperature.

A boat is traveling at 80 km/hr. How many hours will it take for the boat to cover a distance of 115 km?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

d = 115 km

r = 80 km/hr

t = ?

Equation

d = r*T

Solution

115 = 80 * t    Divide by 80

115/80 = t

t = 1.4375 hours.

A baseball of mass m = 0.31 kg is spun vertically on a massless string of length L = 0.51m. The string can only support a tensio
natulia [17]

Given data:

* The mass of the baseball is 0.31 kg.

* The length of the string is 0.51 m.

* The maximum tension in the string is 7.5 N.

Solution:

The centripetal force acting on the ball at the top of the loop is,

\begin{gathered} T+mg=\frac{mv^2}{L}_{} \\ v^2=\frac{L(T+mg)}{m} \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{L(T+mg)}{m}} \end{gathered}

For the maximum velocity of the ball at the top of the vertical circular motion,

v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{L(T_{\max }+mg)}{m}}

where g is the acceleration due to gravity,

Substituting the known values,

\begin{gathered} v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.51(7.5_{}+0.31\times9.8)}{0.31}} \\ v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.51(10.538)}{0.31}} \\ v_{\max }=\sqrt[]{17.34} \\ v_{\max }=4.16\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

Thus, the maximum speed of the ball at the top of the vertical circular motion is 4.16 meters per second.

What parts to all cells have in common?
natima [27]
<span>1. Plasma membrane - also known as cell membrane. It is 'the skin of a cell', which acts as a physically controlling barrier for the entrance and exit of materials. It's made up of proteins and lipids.
2. Cytoplasm - everything inside the cell (but not including the nucleus). Much of the cytoplasm is a transparent and gel-like material known as cytosol; cell structures are suspended in it.
3. Ribosomes - these are organelles that are in charge of making proteins.
<span>4. DNA - Molecules containing the genetic code of a cell, which tells the cell what to do. It is located in the nucleus for eukaryotic cells; for prokaryotic cells, it is located in a part of the cell called the nucleoid.</span></span>

A centrifuge is used to test space pilots. The centrifuge spins with a centripetal acceleration of 3.04g. If the length of the a
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

approx.= 25\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration (a) is defined as the square of an object's velocity (V^2) divided by the distance of the object from it's point/axis of revolution (r). So:

a=\frac{V^{2} }{r}

which allows us to solve for the velocity:

V=\sqrt{ar}\\ Since: a=3.04g=(3.04)(9.81),r=21;\\V=\sqrt{(3.04)(9.81)(21)} =25.02...
