To what potential should you charge a 3.0 μf capacitor to store 1.0 j of energy?
Nimfa-mama [501]
The energy stored in a capacitor is given by:
U= \frac{1}{2}CV^2
where
U is the energy
C is the capacitance
V is the potential difference

The capacitor in this problem has capacitance
C=3.0 \mu F = 3.0 \cdot 10^{-6} F
So if we re-arrange the previous equation, we can calculate the potential V that should be applied to the capacitor to store U=1.0 J of energy on it:
V= \sqrt{ \frac{2U}{C} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 1.0 J}{3.0 \cdot 10^{-6}F} }=816 V

A bike rider approaches a hill with a speed of 8.5 m/s. The total mass of the bike rider is 91kg. What is the kinetic energy of
Anestetic [448]

a) The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is expressed as the product of half of the mass (m) of the object and the square of its velocity (v²):

KE = \frac{1}{2}m* v^{2}

It is given:

v = 8.5 m/s

m = 91 kg

So:

KE= \frac{1}{2}*91*8.5^{2} =3,287.4J


b) We can calculate height by using the formula for potential energy (PE):
PE = m*g*h

In this case, h is eight, and PE is the same as KE:
PE = KE = 3,287.4 J

m = 91 kg

g = 9.81 m/s² - gravitational acceleration

h = ? - height


Now, let's replace those:

3,287.4= 91 * 9.81 * h

⇒ h = 3,287.4/(91*9.81) = 3,287.4/892.7 = 3.7 m

The site from which an airplane takes off is the origin. The X axis points east, the y axis points straight up. The position and
Contact [7]

Answer:

d = 3.5*10^4 m

Explanation:

In order to calculate the displacement of the airplane you need only the information about the initial position and final position of the airplane. THe initial position is at the origin (0,0,0) and the final position is given by the following vector:

\vec{r}=(1.21*10^3\hat{i}+3.45*10^4\hat{j})m

The displacement of the airplane is obtained by using the general form of the Pythagoras theorem:

d=\sqrt{(x-x_o)^2+(y-y_o)^2}   (1)

where x any are the coordinates of the final position of the airplane and xo and yo the coordinates of the initial position. You replace the values of all variables in the equation (1):

d=\sqrt{(1.12*10^3-0)^2+(3.45*10^4-0)^2}=3.45*10^4m

hence, the displacement of the airplane is 3.45*10^4 m

While participating in a blood drive at school, Keona learns that blood has a density of 1.06 g/mL. She donates one pint of bloo
Sergio [31]

Answer:

m≈501.57 g

Explanation:

The density formula is:

d=m/v

Let’s rearrange the formula for m. m is being divided by v. The inverse of division is multiplication, so multiply both aides by v.

d*v= m/v*v

d*v=m

The mass can be found by multiply the density and the volume.

m=d*v

The density is 1.06 grams per milliliter and the volume is 473.176 milliliters.

d= 1.06 g/mL

v= 473.176 mL

Substitute the values into the formula.

m= 1.06 g/mL * 473.176 mL

Multiply. When multiplying, the mL will cancel out.

m= 501.56656 g

Let’s round to the nearest hundredth. The 6 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 6 to a 7 in the hundredth place.

m ≈501.57 g

The mass is about 501.57 grams.
