A charging RC circuit controls the intermittent windshield wipers in a car. The emf is 12.0 V. The wipers are triggered when the

voltage across the 125 mu or micro F capacitor reaches 10.0 V; then the capacitor is quickly discharged (through a much smaller resistor) and the cycle repeats. What resistance should be used in the charging circuit if the wipers are to operate once every 1.80 s?

Answer:

R=803k\Omega

Explanation:

We have the following information,

V_0 = 12V\\V=10V\\c= 1.25*10^{-6}F\\t=1.8s

We apply the equation for capacitor charging the voltage across it,

V=V_0 (1-e^{-t/x})\\e^{-t/x}=1-(\frac{V}{V_0})\\-\frac{t}{Rc}=ln(\frac{V}{V_0})\\R=-\frac{t}{ln(\frac{V}{V_0})*c}

Replacing values,

R=-\frac{1.8}{ln(10/12)*1.25*10^{-6}}

R=803k\Omega

The crew of an enemy spacecraft attempts to escape from your spacecraft by moving away from you at 0.259 of the speed of light.
Vladimir79 [104]
If you do not have to use relative physics but classic physics, this is how you solve it:

Speed of light = c = 3 * 10^5 km/s

Speed of your foe respect to you: 0.259c

Speed of the torpedo respect to you: 0.349c

Speed of the torpedo respect your foe: 0.349c - 0.259c = 0.09c

Conversion to km/s = 0.09 * 3.0 * 10^5 km/s = 27000 km/s

Note that this solution, using classic physics do not take into account time and space dilation.

Answer: 27000 km/s

In an internal combustion engine, heat flow into a gas causes it to <br> .
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Along path BC of the Otto cycle, heat transfer Qh into the gas occurs at constant volume, causing a further increase in pressure and temperature. This process corresponds to burning fuel in an internal combustion engine, and takes place so rapidly that the volume is nearly constant.

The record time for a Tour de France cyclist to ascend the 1100-m-high Alpe d'Huez is 37.5 min. The rider and his bike had a mas
Leni [432]

Answer

given,

height of Alpe d'Huez =  1100-m

time = 37.5 min

mass of the rider and his bike = 65 Kg

the metabolic power to ride = 700 W

U = m g y

U = 65 x 9.8 x 1100

U = 700700 J

since efficiency is 25%

E_{chem} = \dfrac{U}{e}

E_{chem} = \dfrac{700700}{0.25}

E_{chem} = 2802800

E_{chem} = \dfrac{2802800}{4.19 \time 10^3}

E_{chem} =668.9\ cal

b) P = \dfrac{E_{chem}}{t}

P = \dfrac{2802800}{37.5\times 60\ s}

P = 1245.68 W

Two stones resembling diamonds are suspected of being fakes. To determine if the stones might be real, the mass and volume of ea
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

stone A is diamond.

Explanation:

given,

Volume of the two stone =  0.15 cm³

Mass of stone A = 0.52 g

Mass of stone B = 0.42 g

Density of the diamond =  3.5 g/cm³

So, to find which stone is gold we have to calculate the density of both the stone.

We know,

density\density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}

density of stone A

\rho_A = \dfrac{0.52}{0.15}

\rho_A = 3.467\ g/cm^3

density of stone B.

\rho_B = \dfrac{0.42}{0.15}

\rho_B = 2.8\ g/cm^3

Hence, the density of the stone A is the equal to Diamond then stone A is diamond.
