An initially uncharged 3.47-μF capacitor and a 6.43-kΩ resistor are connected in series to a 1.50-V battery that has negligible

internal resistance. What is the initial current in the circuit, expressed in milliamperes? Calculate the circuit\'s time constant in milliseconds. How much time, in milliseconds, must elapse from the closing of the circuit for the current to decrease to 2.57% of its initial value?

Answer: a) io=233.28 A ( initial current); b) τ=R*C= 22.31 ms; c) 81.7 ms

Explanation:  In order to explain this problem we have to use, the formule for the variation of the current in a RC circuit:

I(t)=io*Exp(-t/τ)

and also we consider that io=V/R=(1.5/6.43*10^3)

=233.28 A

then the time constant for the RC circuit is τ=R*C=6.43*10^3*3.47*10^-6

=22.31 ms

Finally the time to reduce the current to 2.57% of its initial value is obtained from:

I(t)=io*Exp(-t/τ)  for I(t)/io=0.0257=Exp(-t/τ) then

ln(0.0257)*τ =-t

t=-ln(0.0257)*τ=81.68 ms

Answer:

h = 11.25m

Explanation:

mgh = 1/2mv2

gh = 1/2v2

10 x h = 1/2 x 15 x 15

20 x h = 225

h = 225/20

h = 11.25m

A 6 ft tall person walks away from a 10 ft lamppost at a constant rate of 5 ft/s. What is the rate (in ft/s) that the tip of the
nalin [4]

Answer:

12.5 ft/s

Explanation:

Height of person = 6 ft

height of lamp post = 10 ft

According to the question,

dx / dt = 5 ft/s

Let the rate of tip of the shadow moves away is dy/dt.

According to the diagram

10 / y = 6 / (y - x)

10 y - 10 x = 6 y

y = 2.5 x

Differentiate both sides with respect to t.

dy / dt = 2.5 dx / dt

dy / dt = 2.5 (5) = 12.5 ft /s

When a voltage difference is applied to a piece of metal wire, a 8-mA current flows through it. If this metal wire is now replac
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire can be given by the following expression

R=\frac{\rho\times L}{A }

where R is resistance , ρ is specific resistance , L is length of wire and A is cross sectional area

specific resistance of metals are almost the same . So in the present case ρ and l are same . Hence the formula becomes

R = k / A where k is a constant .

The diameter of wire becomes two times hence area of cross section becomes 4 times or 4A .

Resistance becomes 1/4 times . Hence if resistance of metal wire is R , resistance of silver wire will be R / 4 .

current = voltage / resistance

In case of metal wire

8 x 10⁻³ = V / R

In case of silver wire

I = V / (R / 4 ) , I is current , V is potential difference .

I = 4 x V/R

= 4 x 8 x 10⁻³ A

= 32 mA.

Artist 52 [7]
You can look at magnesium, it can react with oxygen to form oxides. (chemical) it is malleable and a solid at room temperature. (physical)

to measure its density, the mass and volume can be worked out and from this density too. look up the equation, it is quite easy :) 

physical changes -- it can be melted, and oxidized <span />
