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

Answer:

c. They hit at the same time

b. BGS

Explanation:

A marble dropped (initial vertical velocity is 0) will land at the same time as a marble launched horizontally (initial vertical velocity is 0) from the same height.

Boat S has a net speed of 5 m/s (10 − 5).

Boat B has a net speed of 15 m/s (10 + 5).

Boat G has a net speed of ≈11.2 m/s (√(10² + 5²)).

<span>3.36x10^5 Pascals The ideal gas law is PV=nRT where P = Pressure V = Volume n = number of moles of gas particles R = Ideal gas constant T = Absolute temperature Since n and R will remain constant, let's divide both sides of the equation by T, getting PV=nRT PV/T=nR Since the initial value of PV/T will be equal to the final value of PV/T let's set them equal to each other with the equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 where P1, V1, T1 = Initial pressure, volume, temperature P2, V2, T2 = Final pressure, volume, temperature Now convert the temperatures to absolute temperature by adding 273.15 to both of them. T1 = 27 + 273.15 = 300.15 T2 = 157 + 273.15 = 430.15 Substitute the known values into the equation 1.5E5*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48/430.15 And solve for P2 1.5E5*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48/430.15 430.15 * 1.5E5*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48 64522500*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48 48391875/300.15 = P2*0.48 161225.6372 = P2*0.48 161225.6372/0.48 = P2 335886.7441 = P2 Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 3.36x10^5 Pascals. (technically, I should round to 2 significant figures for the result of 3.4x10^5 Pascals, but given the precision of the volumes, I suspect that the extra 0 in the initial pressure was accidentally omitted. It should have been 1.50e5 instead of 1.5e5).</span>
