A circuit contains a resistor in series with a capacitor, the series combination being connected across the terminals of a batte

ry. The time constant for charging the capacitor is 4.6 s when the resistor has a resistance of 1.4 x 104 Ω. What would the time constant be if the resistance had a value of 5.6 x 104 Ω?

Answer:

18.4 s

Explanation:

The time constant of an RC circuit is given by

\tau = RC

where

R is the resistance

C is the capacitance

For the first circuit we have

\tau = 4.6 s

R=1.4\cdot 10^4 \Omega

So we can find the capacitance

C=\frac{\tau}{R}=\frac{4.6 s}{1.4\cdot 10^4 \Omega}=3.29\cdot 10^{-4} F

Now in the second circuit, the new resistance is

R=5.6\cdot 10^4 \Omega

So the new time constant will be

\tau = RC=(5.6\cdot 10^4 \Omega )(3.29\cdot 10^{-4} F)=18.4 s

Help please<br> It’s kinda urgent
user100 [1]

Answer:

a = - 50 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we simply have to replace the values supplied in the given equation.

Vf = final velocity = 0.5 [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 10 [m/s]

s = distance = 100 [m]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Now replacing we have:

(0.5)^{2}-(10)^{2} = 2*a*(100)\\0.25-10000=200*a\\200*a=-9999.75\\a =-50 [m/s^{2} ]

The negative sign of acceleration means that the ship slows down its velocity in order to land.

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

mu = 0.56

Explanation:

The friction force is calculated by taking into account the deceleration of the car in 25m. This can be calculated by using the following formula:

v^2=v_0^2+2ax\\

v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)

v_o: initial speed in the interval of interest = 60km/h

    = 60(1000m)/(3600s) = 16.66m/s

x: distance = 25m

BY doing a the subject of the formula and replace the values of v, v_o and x you obtain:

a=\frac{v^2-v_o^2}{2x}=\frac{0m^2/s^2-(16.66m/s)^2}{2(25m)}=-5.55\frac{m}{s^2}

with this value of a you calculate the friction force that makes this deceleration over the car. By using the Newton second's Law you obtain:

F_f=ma=(1490kg)(5.55m/s^2)=8271.15N

Furthermore, you use the relation between the friction force and the friction coefficient:

F_f= \mu N=\mu mg\\\\\mu=\frac{F_f}{mg}=\frac{8271.15N}{(1490kg)(9.8m/s^2)}=0.56

hence, the friction coefficient is 0.56
