A free electron is one which has become detached from a covalent bond between two atoms and is able to move around from atom to atom and possibly take part in electric current flow.
Before the skydiver opens the parachute, his velocity would be increasing greatly as much as 9.8 m/s². Opening the parachute would increase the surface area to which air may cause resistance. The skydiver then reaches his terminal velocity.
2 times 10 to the power of 5 is your answer.
<span>1) The differential equation that models the RC circuit is :
(d/dt)V_capacitor </span>+ (V_capacitor/RC) = (V_source/<span>RC)</span>
<span>Where the time constant of the circuit is defined by the product of R*C
Time constant = T = R*C = (</span>30.5 ohms) * (89.9-mf) = 2.742 s
2) C<span>harge of the capacitor 1.57 time constants
1.57*(2.742) = 4.3048 s
The solution of the differential equation is
</span>V_capac (t) = (V_capac(0) - V_capac(∞<span>))e ^(-t /T) + </span>V_capac(∞)
Since the capacitor is initially uncharged V_capac(0) = 0
And the maximun Voltage the capacitor will have in this configuration is the voltage of the battery V_capac(∞) = 9V
This means,
V_capac (t) = (-9V)e ^(-t /T) + 9V
The charge in a capacitor is defined as Q = C*V
Where C is the capacitance and V is the Voltage across
V_capac (4.3048 s) = (-9V)e ^(-4.3048 s /T) + 9V
V_capac (4.3048 s) = (-9V)e ^(-4.3048 s /2.742 s) + 9V
V_capac (4.3048 s) = (-9V)e ^(-4.3048 s /2.742 s) + 9V = -1.87V +9V
V_capac (4.3048 s) = 7.1275 V
Q (4.3048 s) = 89.9mF*(7.1275V) = 0.6407 C
3) The charge after a very long time refers to the maximum charge the capacitor will hold in this circuit. This occurs when the voltage accross its terminals is equal to the voltage of the battery = 9V
Q (∞) = 89.9mF*(9V) = 0.8091 C
