Answer:

16.6 ms or 0.0166 s

Explanation:

If Q is the final charge, Q' is the initial charge, C the capacitance ,R is the resistance , t the time taken  and τ the time constant,

[tex]Q = Q'( 1- e^{-t\div \tau })

τ = R C = (1.20×10³) (20×10⁻⁶) = 0.024 s

15 = 30 ( 1- e^{-t\div \ 0.024 })

( 1- e^{-t\div \ 0.024 }) = 15 ÷ 30

⇒ - e^{-t\div \ 0.024 }) = 0.5 -1  

⇒  e^{-t\div \ 0.024 }) = 0.5

Taking logarithm to the base e on both sides of this equation,

⇒ t = 0.0166 seconds = 16.6 milli seconds

Draw velocity-ime graph for uniform moion of an object , when initially body is at rest.
Klio2033 [76]
When the body is at rest, its speed is zero, and the graph lies on the x-axis.

When the body is in uniform motion, the speed is constant, and the graph is a horizontal line, parallel to the x-axis and some distance above it.

It's impossible to tell, based on the given information, how these two parts of the
graph are connected.  There must be some sloping (accelerated) portion of the graph
that joins the two sections, but it cannot be accounted for in either the statement
that the body is at rest or that it is in uniform motion, since acceleration ... that is,
any change of speed or direction ... is not 'uniform' motion'.

A car drives 100 km north, 50 km east, then 10 km south. What is the car's displavement?​
Over [174]

Answer:

\sqrt{ ({40}^{2} }  +  {50}^{2} ) =  \sqrt{(1600 + 2500)}  =  \sqrt{4100}  = 64.03

I need it in the next hour or so!
PSYCHO15rus [73]

The car is accelerating at 3 m/s² in the positive direction (to the right). By Newton's second law, the net force on the car in this direction is

∑ F = F[a] - F[f] - F[air] = ma

3100 N - 200 N - F[air] = (650 kg) (3 m/s²)

Solve for F[air] :

F[air] = 3100 N - 200 N - (650 kg) (3 m/s²)

F[air] = 3100 N - 200 N - 1950 N

F[air] = 950 N
