Answer: t = 0.492τ

Explanation: In a circuit where there is a resistor and a capacitor, the equation for a charging capacitor is given by:

q = q_0(1 - e^{\frac{t}{RC} })

where:

q_0 is the equilibrium charge

q is the charge at time t

RC is time constant also called τ (tau)

For this problem, the circuit is charged to 39%, which means: q = 0.39 q_0

0.39q_0 = q_0 (1 - e^\frac{-t}{RC} )

0.39 = 1 - e^\frac{-t}{RC}

e^\frac{-t}{RC} = 0.61

\frac{-t}{RC} = ln(0.61)

-t = ln(0.61)τ

t = 0.492τ

For the condition to be met it is needed 0.492 time constants must elapse.

4. An object moves in a circular path at a constant speed. Compare the direction of the object’s velocity and acceleration vecto
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Option C

The vectors are perpendicular

Explanation:

Acceleration will be directed towards the center for uniform circular motion. Consequently, velocity of the object increases hence acceleration. The direction of velocity is tangent to its circular motion, therefore, tangential velocity vector is perpendicular to centripetal acceleration vector. Therefore, comparing the direction of the object, the vectors are perpendicular to each other.

List the three types of symbiotic relationships. For each type of symbiotic relationship, explain how the two organisms are affe
Virty [35]
<span>The three major types of symbiosis are mutualism, where both species benefit, commensalism, where one species benefits and the other is unaffected, and parasitism, where one species benefits and the other is harmed. Symbiotic relationships can occur within an organism's body or outside of it.                                                                                                                                                                              </span><span>Examples of mutualism include the relationship between single-celled organisms or animals that incorporate algae into their bodies. They give the algae necessary nutrients, and in return receive chemical energy from the photosynthetic algae. Animals that have this sort of relationship include some sponges, sea anemones and clams. Examples of commensalism include remora fish attaching to the bodies of sharks and eating scraps of food that escape their jaws, and barnacles living on the jaws of whales with a similar feeding strategy. Plants have commensal relationships as well, such as many orchids that grow on taller plants and benefit from the additional sunlight they obtain, without actually stealing nutrients from the host plant. Parasitic relationships are many, and parasites include all disease-causing organisms. This category also includes insects such as fleas that suck the blood of hosts externally. Parasitism is a very efficient strategy for organisms, and parasites often lose many of the features of non-parasitic life forms, instead relying on their hosts for many of the functions of life.</span>
