Answer:

6.05×10⁻³ J

Explanation:

Note: Two capacitors connected in series behaves like two resistors connected in parallel.

Using

1/Ct = 1/C1+1/C2

Ct = (C1×C2)/(C1+C2)............................ Equation 1

Where Ct = combined capacitance of the two capacitor, C1 = Capacitance of the first capacitor, C2 = capacitance of the second capacitor.

Given: C1 = 25 µF, C2 = 50 µF

Substitute into equation 1

Ct = (25×50)/(25+50)

Ct = 1250/75

Ct = 16.67 µF.

Using

Q = CV.................... Equation 2

Where Q = Charge, V = Voltage.

Given: V = 33 V, C = 16.67 µF = 16.67×10⁻⁶ F

Substitute into equation 2

Q = 33(16.67×10⁻⁶)

Q = 5.5×10⁻⁴ C.

Since both capacitors are connected in series, the same amount of charge flows through them.

Using,

E = 1/2Q²/C.................. Equation 3

Where E = Energy stored in the 25-µF capacitor

Given: Q =5.5×10⁻⁴ C, C = 25 µF = 25×10⁻⁶ F

Substitute into equation 3

E = 1/2(5.5×10⁻⁴)²/ 25×10⁻⁶

E = 6.05×10⁻³ J.

What disadvantage of convex mirror​
nikklg [1K]

☁️ Answer ☁️

The main disadvantage of convex mirrors is that they show a distorted picture of what is behind you. Distances are seen not as they are in reality and things appear closer than they really are. They are showing cars approximately twice as far away as they actually are.

Hope it helps.

Have a nice day hyung!~  ̄▽ ̄❤️

A proton is released from rest at the positive plate of a parallelplatecapacitor. It crosses the capacitor and reaches the negat
Triss [41]

Answer:

2.1406 ×10^6 m/sec

Explanation:

we know that energy is always conserved

so from the law of energy conservation

qV=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

here V is the potential difference  

we know that mass of proton = 1.67×10^{-27} kg

we have given speed =50000m/sec

so potential difference V=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}50000^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}=13.045

now mass of electron =9.11×10^{-31}

so for electron

\frac{1}{2}\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}v^2=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 13.045=2.1406\times 10^6 m/sec

so the velocity of electron will be 2.1406×10^6 m/sec

In the simplified version of Kepler's third law, P 2 = a3, the units of the orbital period P and the semimajor axis a of the ell
Orlov [11]

Answer:

The units of the orbital period P is <em>years </em> and the units of the semimajor axis a is <em>astronomical units</em>.

Explanation:

P² = a³ is the simplified version of Kepler's third law which governs the orbital motion of large bodies that orbit around a star. The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the star at the focal point.

Therefore, if you square the year of each planet and divide it by the distance that it is from the star, you will get the same number for all the other planets.

Thus, the units of the orbital period P is <em>years </em> and the units of the semimajor axis a is <em>astronomical units</em>.
