Answer:

(a). The time constant of the circuit is 2.17.

(b). The potential difference across the capacitor at t=17.0 s is 0.0396 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial potential difference = 100 V

Potential difference across the capacitor = 1.00 V

(a). We need to calculate the time constant of the circuit

Using formula of potential difference

V(t)=V_{0}e^{\dfrac{-t}{RC}}

Put the value into the formula

1.00=100e^{\dfrac{-10.0}{RC}}

0.01=e^{\dfrac{-10.0}{RC}}

On taking ln

ln(0.01)=\dfrac{-10}{RC}

RC=\dfrac{-10}{ln(0.01)}

RC=2.17

(b). We need to calculate the potential difference across the capacitor at t=17.0 s

Using formula again

V(17)=100e^{\dfrac{-17}{2.17}}

V{17}=0.0396\ V

Hence, (a). The time constant of the circuit is 2.17.

(b). The potential difference across the capacitor at t=17.0 s is 0.0396 V.

A person in a kayak starts paddling, and it accelerates from 0 to 0.61 m/s in a distance of 0.39 m. If the combined mass of the
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

35.3 N

Explanation:

U = 0, V = 0.61 m/s, s = 0.39 m

Let a be the acceleration.

Use third equation of motion

V^2 = u^2 + 2 as

0.61 × 0.61 = 0 + 2 × a × 0.39

a = 0.477 m/s^2

Force = mass × acceleration

F = 74 × 0.477 = 35.3 N

The image in formed in this case at a distance of 24.3cm in left of lens.

Case 2.

A point source is placed in between the lens and the mirror at a distance of 40 cm from the lens i.e. the source is placed at the focus of mirror, then the rays after reflection becomes parallel for the lens such that

The universal law of gravitation states that the force of attraction between two objects depends on which quantities?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer: The answer is the masses of the objects and the distance between them

Explanation: Gravity is affected by mass and distance between two objects becuase if and object is too far the force of gravity will not be strong. The larger the object, the stronger the force of gravity will be.
