A 10.0-µF capacitor is charged so that the potential difference between its plates is 10.0 V. A 5.0-µF capacitor is similarly ch

arged so that the potential difference between its plates is 5.0 V. The two charged capacitors are then connected to each other in parallel with positive plate connected to positive plate and negative plate connected to negative plate. Find the charch that flows from one capacitor to the other when the capacitors are connected (17 microcoulombs) and the energy that is dissipated when the two capacitors are connected together (42 microjoules)

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

First Capacitor is 10 µF

C_1 = 10 µF

Potential difference is

V_1 = 10 V.

The charge on the plate is

q_1 = C_1 × V_1 = 10 × 10^-6 × 10 = 100µC

q_1 = 100 µC

A second capacitor is 5 µF

C_2 = 5 µF

Potential difference is

V_2 = 5V.

Then, the charge on the capacitor 2 is.

q_2 = C_2 × V_2

q_2 = 5µF × 5 = 25 µC

Then, the average capacitance is

q = (q_1 + q_2) / 2

q = (25 + 100) / 2

q = 62.5µC

B. The two capacitor are connected together, then the equivalent capacitance is

Ceq = C_1 + C_2.

Ceq = 10 µF + 5 µF.

Ceq = 15 µF.

The average voltage is

V = (V_1 + V_2) / 2

V = (10 + 5)/2

V = 15 / 2 = 7.5V

Energy dissipated is

U = ½Ceq•V²

U = ½ × 15 × 10^-6 × 7.5²

U = 4.22 × 10^-4 J

U = 422 × 10^-6

U = 422 µJ

A zone reconnaissance involves a directed effort to obtain detailed information on all routes, obstacles, terrain, enemy forces,
son4ous [18]

Answer:

It is True

Explanation:.

A  commander assigns a zone reconnaissance mission when he seeks additional information on a zone before committing other forces in the zone. It is appropriate when the enemy situation is vague,  existing knowledge of the terrain is limited, or combat operations have altered the terrain. A zone  reconnaissance could include several route or area reconnaissance missions assigned to subordinate units.

A football is thrown due north across a 40 meter river and it takes 2 seconds to cover that distance.
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

I. Speed = 20m/s

II. Velocity = 20m/s due North.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Distance = 40m

Time = 2secs

To find the speed;

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Speed = \frac{40}{2}

<em>Speed = 20m/s.</em>

In physics, we use the same formula for calculating speed and velocity. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and as such has magnitude but no direction while velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

<em>Therefore, the velocity is 20m/s due North</em>.

a particle moves along the x axis with an acceleration of a=18t, where a has units if m/s2. if the particle at time t=0 is at th
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

 Position at t= 4 seconds is 144 m

Explanation:

 It is given that acceleration, a = 18 t, where t is the time.

 We know that Velocity, v = \int { a} \, dt

  Substituting value of a,

           Velocity, v = \int {18t} \, dt=\frac{18t^2}{2} +c=9t^2+c

 We know that at t = 0, v = -12 m/s

         So, 9*0^2+c=-12\\ \\ c=-12m/s

So velocity, v = (9t^2-12)m/s

  We also know that displacement, x = \int { v} \, dt

     Substituting value of v,  

        Displacement, x=\int {(9t^2-12)} \, dt=\frac{9t^3}{3} -12t+c=3t^3-12t+c

  We know that at t = 0, particle is at origin, x =0.

               So,  0=3*0^3-12*0+c\\ \\ c=0

   Displacement, x = 3t^3-12t

At t = 4 seconds

   x = 3*4^3-12*4=192--48=144m

Position at t= 4 seconds is 144 m
