A circuit contains an EMF source, a resistor R, a capacitor C, and an open switch in series. The capacitor initially carries zer

o charge. How long after the switch is closed will it take the capacitor to reach 2/3 its maximum charge?

Answer:

t = 1.098*RC

Explanation:

In order to calculate the time that the capacitor takes to reach 2/3 of its maximum charge, you use the following formula for the charge of the capacitor:

Q=Q_{max}[1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}]         (1)

Qmax: maximum charge capacity of the capacitor

t: time

R: resistor of the circuit

C: capacitance of the circuit

When the capacitor has 2/3 of its maximum charge, you have that

Q=(2/3)Qmax    

You replace the previous expression for Q in the equation (1), and use properties of logarithms to solve for t:

Q=\frac{2}{3}Q_{max}=Q_{max}[1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}]\\\\\frac{2}{3}=1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}\\\\e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}=\frac{1}{3}\\\\-\frac{t}{RC}=ln(\frac{1}{3})\\\\t=-RCln(\frac{1}{3})=1.098RC

The charge in the capacitor reaches 2/3 of its maximum charge in a time equal to 1.098RC

If you add 1 proton to Carbon, it will no longer be Carbon, it will be ________________.

Nitrogen

Explanation:

Adding one proton to a carbon atom makes Nitrogen.

A quick introspection on atoms:

  • An atom is made up of three fundamental particles.
  • They are protons, neutrons and electrons.
  • The protons are positively charged and the neutrons do not carry any charges.
  • Electrons are negatively charged.

The difference between an atom and another is the number of protons in them. This is the atomic number.

The periodic table of element is a list of elements arranged based on the number of protons they have. Every element on the table has unique number of protons which makes it differ from another.

  • Atoms do not readily lose their protons because they are held by nuclear forces in the nucleus of an atom.

When an element gains a proton, it becomes another element.

    Carbon has proton number of 6

 If a proton is added to it, it becomes 7

This is the proton or atomic number of nitrogen.

an object at rest starts accelerating if it travels 30 meters to end up going 10 m/s what was it’s acceleration
vfiekz [6]

First we have to calculate the time taken to travel the distance 30 m, is

t = \frac{distance}{velocity} = \frac{30 \ m}{10 \ m/s } =  3 \ s.

Now from equation of motion,

v = u + at

Given, v = 10 \ m/s .

As object starts from rest, so  u = 0.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

 10 \ m/s = 0 + a \times 3 \ s \\\\ a = \frac{10}{3}  = 3.33 \ m/s^2.

Thus, the acceleration is 3.33 \ m/s^2

Velocity: You leave on a 549-mi trip in order to attend a meeting that will start 10.8 h after you begin your trip. Along the wa
rewona [7]

Answer:

1.55 h

Explanation:

Let the time to spend over dinner be t.

Since I need to spend 10.8 h for the whole trip, then I have 10.8 - t hours left to drive.

Speed = distance/time

v = \dfrac{d}{10.8-t}

d = v(10.8-t)

The distance is 549 and maximum speed is 65 mi/h.

549 = 65(10.8 - t)

10.8-t = 8.45

t = 10.8 - 8.45 = 1.55 \text{ h}
