g Suppose that you charge a 3 F capacitor in a circuit containing eight 3.0 V batteries, so the final potential difference acros

The complex, highly technical formula for capacitors is

<em>Q = C V</em>

Charge = (capacitance) (voltage)

Charge = (3 F) (24 V)

<em>Charge = 72 Coulombs</em>

The positive plate of the capacitor is missing 72 coulombs worth of electrons.  They were sucked into positive terminal of the battery stack.

The negative plate of the capacitor has 72 coulombs worth of extra electrons.  They came from the negative terminal of the battery stack.

You should be aware that this is a humongous amount of charge !  An average <u><em>lightning bolt</em></u>, where electrons flow between a cloud and the ground for a short time, is estimated to transfer around <u><em>15 coulombs</em></u> of charge !

The scenario in the question involves a "supercapacitor".  3 F is is no ordinary component ... One distributor I checked lists one of these that's able to stand 24 volts on it, but that product costs $35 apiece, you have to order at least 100 of them at a time, and they take 2 weeks to get.  

Also, IF you can charge this animal to 24 volts, it will hold 864J of energy.  You'd probably have a hard time accomplishing this task with a bag of leftover AA batteries.

Describe how engineers designed a parachute to create the forces needed to slow down the falling person.
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Due to the resistance of air, a drag force acts on a falling body (parachute) to slow down its motion. Without air resistance, or drag, objects would continue to increase speed until they hit the ground. The larger the object, the greater its air resistance. Parachutes use a large canopy to increase air resistance. Also, Once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down. Sorry if not helpful.

An artillery shell is launched on a flat, horizontal field at an angle of α = 40.8° with respect to the horizontal and with an i
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

1317.4 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Angle=\alpha=40.8^{\circ}

Initial speed =v_0=346m/s

We have to find the horizontal distance covered  by the shell after 5.03 s.

Horizontal component of initial speed=v_{ox}=v_0cos\theta=346cos40.8=261.9m/s

Vertical component of initial speed=v_{oy}=346sin40.8=226.1m/s

Time=t=5.03 s

Horizontal distance =Horizontal\;velocity\times time

Using the  formula

Horizontal distance=261.9\times 5.03

Horizontal distance=1317.4 m

Hence, the horizontal distance covered by the shell=1317.4 m

A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6 m/s and a wavelength of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?
givi [52]
I'll be happy to solve the problem using the information that
you gave in the question, but I have to tell you that this wave
is not infrared light.

If it was a wave of infrared, then its speed would be close
to 300,000,000 m/s, not 6 m/s, and its wavelength would be
less than 0.001 meter, not 12 meters.

For the wave you described . . .

             Frequency  =  (speed)  /  (wavelength)

                                 =  (6 m/s)  /  (12 m)

                                 =      0.5 / sec

                                 =      0.5 Hz .  

(If it were an infrared wave, then its frequency would be
greater than 300,000,000,000 Hz.)

Select the correct answer.
natali 33 [55]

The wave speed completely depends on the characteristics and properties of the medium  . . . physical properties for mechanical waves, electrical properties for electromagnedtic waves.

So if you want to change the speed of a wave, you have to change the medium . . . shoot it through some different kind of stuff. <em>(B) </em>
