In a RC-circuit, with the capacitor initially uncharged,  when we connect the battery to the circuit the charge on the capacitor starts to increase following the law:
Q(t) = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})
where t is the time, Q_0 = CV is the maximum charge on the capacitor at voltage V, and \tau = RC is the time constant of the circuit.
Using this law, we can answer all the three questions of the problem.

1) Using R=39.1 \Omega and C= 65.7 mF=65.7\cdot 10^{-3}F, the time constant of the circuit is:
\tau = RC=(39.1 \Omega)(65.7 \cdot 10^{-3}F)=2.57 s

2) To find the charge on the capacitor at time t=1.95 \tau, we must find before the maximum charge on the capacitor, which is
Q_0 = CV=(65.7 \cdot 10^{-3}F)(9 V)=0.59 C
And then, the charge at time t=1.95 \tau is equal to
Q(1.95 \tau) = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})=(0.59 C)(1-e^{-1.95})=0.51 C

3) After a long time (let's say much larger than the time constant of the circuit), the capacitor will be fully charged, this means its charge will be Q_0 = 0.59 C. We can see this also from the previous formule, by using t=\infty:
Q(t) = Q_0 (1-e^{-\infty})=Q_0(1-0) = 0.59 C

9. When making a circuit, why is gold wiring not used?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Gold is not used for making electric wires because it is too rare, and too costlier than Copper. Silver and copper are used for making wires. Copper is almost used in electric lines

During an episode of turbulence in an airplane you feel 210 n heavier than usual.if your mass is 72 kg, what are the magnitude a
lana66690 [7]
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force experienced by the system is equal to the mass of the system in question times the acceleration in motion. In this case, the net force is the difference of gravitational force and the force experience by the motion of the airplane. This difference is already given to be 210 N.

Net force = ma
210 N = (73 kg)(a)
a = +2.92 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the airplane's motion is 2.92 m/s² to the positive direction which is upwards.

A physics student swings a tennis ball connected to a rope in a vertical circle with a constant speed of 6.29 m/s. The ball has
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

r = 0.5 m

Explanation:

First we find the angular speed of the ball by using its period:

ω = θ/t

For the time period:

ω = angular speed = ?

θ = angular displacement = 2π rad

t = time period = 0.5 s

Therefore,

ω = 2π rad/0.5 s

ω = 12.56 rad/s

Now, for the radius:

v = rω

r = v/ω

where,

v = linear speed = 6.29 m/s

r = radius = ?

r = (6.29 m/s)/(12.56 rad/s)

<u>r = 0.5 m</u>

Recall that the blocks can only move along the x axis. the x components of their velocities at a certain moment are v1x and v2x.
Contact [7]
The center of mass is given with this formula:
x_c=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}m_ix_i}{M}
Velocity is:
v=\frac{dv}{dt}
So, for the velocity of the center of mass we have:
\frac{dx_c}{dt}=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}d(m_ix_i)}{Mdt}\\&#10;v_c=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}p_i}{M}\\
In our case it is:
v_{xc}=\frac{m_1v_{x1}+m_2v_{x2}}{m_1+m_2}
