The question "<span>In a redox reaction the substance that accepts electrons is said to be?" is a bit vague. By definition, a "redox" or "reduction" reaction is one where classified by a gain of electrons. On the other hand, if it is a loss of electrons, then it is an oxidation reaction.</span>

A resistor with resistance R and an air-gap capacitor of capacitance C are connected in series to a battery (whose strength is "

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

a) Q = C*emf

b) Reduction in electric field strength and electric potential

c) Initial current through the resistor = emf/R

d) The final charge = K*C*emf

Explanation:

a) The resistors and capacitors are connected in series with the battery

Using Kirchoff's voltage law, sum of all voltages in the circuit is zero

Let $V_{R}$ = Voltage dropped across the Resistor

$V_{c}$ = Voltage dropped across the capacitor

Applying KVL;

$emf - V_{R} - V_{c} = 0\\$ .........................(1)

Since the connection is in series, the same current flow through the circuit

$V_{R} = IR\\Q = CV_{c} \\V_{c} = Q/C$

Putting $V_{c}$ and $V_{R}$ into equation (1)

$emf - IR - Q/C = 0$

At the final charge, the capacitor in fully charged, and current drops to zero due to equilibrium

$I = 0A\\emf = Q/C\\Q = C* emf$

b) Current starts running through the plate because as the sheet of plastic is inserted between the plates both the electric field intensity and the electric potential reduces. The charge also reduces, then current flows

c) The current through the resistor is the current through the entire circuit ( series connection)

$I = I_{o} \exp(\frac{-t}{RC} )\\At time the initial time, t\\t = 0\\ I_{o} = \frac{emf}{R} \\$

Putting the values of t and I₀ into the formula for I written above

$I = \frac{emf}{R} \exp(0)\\I = \frac{emf}{R}$

d) NB: The initial charge on the capacitor = C * emf

The final charge will be:

$Q = K* Q_{initial} \\Q_{initial} = C *emf\\Q_{final} = KCemf$

Ciara is swinging a 0.015 kg ball tied to a string around her head in a flat, horizontal circle. The radius of the circle is 0.7

Sophie [7]

Answer:

B) 1.2 N, toward the center of the circle

Explanation:

The circumference of the circle is:

C = 2πr

C = 2π (0.70 m)

C = 4.40 m

So the velocity of the ball is:

v = C/t

v = 4.40 m / 0.60 s

v = 7.33 m/s

Sum of the forces in the radial direction:

∑F = ma

T = m v² / r

T = (0.015 kg) (7.33 m/s)² / (0.70 m)

T = 1.2 N

The tension force is 1.2 N towards the center of the circle.

)If a force of 5.00 N is needed to open a 90.0 cm wide door when applied at the edge opposite the hinges, what force must be app

masha68 [24]

Answer:

A force of 12.857 newtons must be applied to open the door.

Explanation:

In this case, a force is exerted on the door, a moment is performed and the door is opened. If moment remains constant, the force is inversely proportional to distance respect to axis of rotation passing through hinges. That is:

$F \propto \frac{1}{r}$
