<span>1) The differential equation that models the RC circuit is :

(d/dt)V_capacitor </span>+ (V_capacitor/RC)​ = (V_source/<span>RC)​​</span>

<span>Where the time constant of the circuit is defined by the product of R*C

Time constant = T = R*C = (</span>30.5 ohms) * (89.9-mf) = 2.742 s


2)
C<span>harge of the capacitor 1.57 time constants

1.57*(2.742) = 4.3048 s

The solution of the differential equation is

</span>V_capac (t) = (V_capac(0) - V_capac(∞<span>))e ^(-t /T)  +  </span>V_capac(∞)

Since the capacitor is initially uncharged V_capac(0) = 0

And the maximun Voltage the capacitor will have in this configuration is the voltage of the battery  V_capac(∞) = 9V 

This means,

V_capac (t) = (-9V)e ^(-t /T)  +  9V

The charge in a capacitor is defined as Q = C*V

Where C is the capacitance and V is the Voltage across

V_capac (4.3048 s) = (-9V)e ^(-4.3048 s /T)  +  9V

V_capac (4.3048 s) = (-9V)e ^(-4.3048 s /2.742 s)  +  9V

V_capac (4.3048 s) = (-9V)e ^(-4.3048 s /2.742 s)  +  9V = -1.87V +9V

V_capac (4.3048 s) = 7.1275 V

Q (4.3048 s)  = 89.9mF*(7.1275V) = 0.6407 C

3) The charge after a very long time refers to the maximum charge the capacitor will hold in this circuit. This occurs when the voltage accross its terminals is equal to the voltage of the battery = 9V

Q (∞)  = 89.9mF*(9V) = 0.8091 C

A fire engine approaches a wall at 5 m/s while the siren emits a tone of 500 Hz frequency. At the time, the speed of sound in ai
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The  values is  f_b  =14.9 \  beats/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  speed of the fire engine is  v =  5\ m/s

    The frequency of the tone is  f =  500 \ Hz

    The speed of sound in air is v_s  =  340 \ m/s

The  beat frequency is mathematically represented as

     f_b  =  f_a  -  f

Where  f_a is the frequency of sound heard by the people in the fire engine and is is mathematically evaluated as

   f_a  =  [\frac{v_s + v }{v_s  -v} ]* f

substituting values

  f_a  =  [\frac{340 + 5 }{340  -5} ]* 500

  f_a  = 514.9 \  Hz

Thus  

      f_b  =514.9 -  500

      f_b  =14.9 \  beats/s

Quartz, SiO2, contains 46.7% silicon by mass. What mass of silicon is present in 348 g of quartz? You must show your work.
anastassius [24]

Answer:162.516 gm

Explanation:

Given

Quartz contains 46.7 % silicon by mass

i.e.Silicon is 46.7 % by mass

Total mass of Quartz m=348 gm

46.7% of 348 gm

=\frac{46.7}{100}\times 348=162.516 gm

Can any ideal gas power cycle have a thermal efficiency greater than 55 percent when using thermal energy reservoirs at 627∘C at
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Since the maximum thermal efficiency is higher than 55 percent, there can be a power cycle with these reservoir temperature with an efficiency higher than 55 percent.

Explanation:

The maximum thermal efficiency is determined from the given temperature

nth Carnot = 1- TL/TH

Where TL= 17+273= 290k

TH= 627*273= 900K.

nth Carnot = 1- 290/900 = 0.68

0.68*100 = 68 percent
