Answer:

it will take 36.12 ms to reduce the capacitor's charge to 10 μC

Explanation:

Qi= C×V

then:

Vi = Q/C = 30μ/20μ = 1.5 volts

and:

Vf = Q/C = 10μ/20μ = 0.5 volts

then:

v = v₀e^(–t/τ)  

v₀ is the initial voltage on the cap  

v is the voltage after time t  

R is resistance in ohms,  

C is capacitance in farads  

t is time in seconds  

RC = τ = time constant  

τ = 20µ x 1.5k = 30 ms  

v = v₀e^(t/τ)  

0.5 = 1.5e^(t/30ms)  

e^(t/30ms) = 10/3  

t/30ms = 1.20397

t = (30ms)(1.20397) = 36.12 ms

Therefore, it will take 36.12 ms to reduce the capacitor's charge to 10 μC.

The distance between two telephone poles is 50 m. A 1 kg bird lands on the telephone wire midway between the poles, and the wire
masha68 [24]

Answer:

the tension produce by the bird in the wire is 610.3 N.

Explanation:

given information:

mass of the bird, m = 1 kg

distance of two telephone pole, L = 50 m

wire sag, y = 0.2

the tension of the wire can be calculate by the following equation

tan θ = y/(L/2)

         = 0.2/(50/2)

         = 0.2/25

thus

θ = arc tan (0.2/25)

  = 0.46°

according to Newton's first law

ΣF = 0, vertical direction

T sin θ + T sin θ - mg = 0

2 T sin θ = m g

T = mg/2 sinθ

  = 1 x 9.8/(2 sin 0.46)

  = 610.3 N

What could be a possible explanation why tectonic plates do not all move in the same direction
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

tectonic plates move in opposite direction

Tectonic plates are not necessarily moving in opposite directions, but if there directions are different they form plate boundaries. If they were moving in the same direction they would become the same plate. The more opposite the direction, the more obvious the fault.

Examples of plate boundaries:

Divergent: moving away from each other - mid-Atlantic ridge

Convergent: moving towards each other - the Himalayas (Indian plate subducting under the Eurasian plate forcing up the mountains)

Transform: sliding laterally along each other - San Andreas fault

¿Por qué es útil comprender tu condición física?
finlep [7]

Answer:

Es útil porque al saberlo evitas sobrexponerte a problemas como <em><u>enfermedades, desgarros o daños a largo plazo de tu cuerpo.</u></em>

Explanation:

When a person decides to start exercising or some type of physical activity, it is necessary for him to know how much his body can resist that activity during a defined period of time.

If in some way or another your body does not resist physical activity, you can hurt yourself, tear a ligament or muscle or get sick.

One of the most common diseases that almost nobody notices is the increase in circulatory and heart problems.

It is best to know your physical condition, how much weight you can carry with weights, or how long you can last doing physical activities.

what is the period of a sound wave whose wavelength is 20.0m? use values from the book and show all of your work
Lera25 [3.4K]
The wavelength of a sound wave is related to its frequency by the relationship:
f= \frac{v}{\lambda}
where
f is the frequency
v is the speed of the wave
\lambda is the wavelength

The wave in our problem has wavelength of \lambda=20.0 m and speed of v=343 m/s (this is the speed of sound in air), therefore its frequency is
f= \frac{343 m/s}{20.0 m}=17.15 Hz

And the period of the wave is equal to the reciprocal of its frequency:
T= \frac{1}{f}= \frac{1}{17.15 Hz}=0.058 s
