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

On a straight, level, two-lane road, two cars moving in opposite directions approach and pass each other. Car A is in the eastbo
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

a) 42 m/s, positive direction (to the east), b) 42 m/s, negative direction (to the west).

Explanation:

a) Let consider that Car A is moving at positive direction. Then, the relative velocity of Car A as seen by the driver of Car B is:

\vec v_{A/B} = \vec v_{A} - \vec v_{B}\\\vec v_{A/B} = 11 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i + 31 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i\\\vec v_{A/B} = 42 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i

42 m/s, positive direction (to the east).

b) The relative velocity of Car B as seen by the drive of Car A is:

\vec v_{B/A} = \vec v_{B} - \vec v_{A}\\\vec v_{B/A} = -31 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i - 11 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i\\\vec v_{B/A} = - 42 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i

42 m/s, negative direction (to the west).

How to find initial velocity
lesya [120]

Answer:

Velocity is a function of time and defined by both a magnitude and a direction. [1] Often in physics problems, you will need to calculate the initial velocity (speed and direction) at which an object in question began to travel. There are multiple equations that can be used to determine initial velocity. Using the information given in a problem, you can determine the proper equation to use and easily answer your question.
