A parallel combination of a 1.13-μF capacitor and a 2.85-μF one is connected in series to a 4.25-μF capacitor. This three-capaci
Nata [24]

Answer:

(a) Charge of 4.25 μF capacitor is 35.46 μC.

(b) Charge of 1.13 μF capacitor is 10.05 μC.

(c) Charge of 2.85 μF capacitor is 25.36 μC.

Explanation:

Let C₁ , C₂ and C₃ are the capacitor which are connected to the battery having voltage V. According to the problem, C₁ and C₂ are connected in parallel. There equivalent capacitance is:

C₄ = C₁ + C₂

Substitute 1.13 μF for C₁ and 2.85 μF for C₂ in the above equation.

C₄ = ( 1.13 + 2.85 ) μF = 3.98 μF

Since, C₄ and C₃ are connected in series, there equivalent capacitance is:

C₅ = \frac{C_{3}C_{4}  }{C_{3} + C_{4}  }

Substitute 4.25 μF for C₃ and 3.98 μF for C₄ in the above equation.

C₅ = \frac{4.25\times3.98 }{4.25 + 3.98  }

C₅ = 2.05 μF

The charge on the equivalent capacitance is determine by the relation :

Q = C₅ V

Substitute 2.05 μF for C₅ and 17.3 volts for V in the above equation.

Q = 2.05 μF x 17.3  = 35.46 μC

Since, the capacitors C₃ and C₄ are connected in series, so the charge on these capacitors are equal to the charge on the equivalent capacitor C₅.

Charge on the capacitor, C₃ = 35.46 μC

Charge on the capacitor, C₄ = 35.46 μC

Voltage on the capacitor C₄ = \frac{Q}{C_{4} } = \frac{35.46\times10^{-6} }{3.98\times10^{-6}} = 8.90 volts

Since, C₁ and C₂ are connected in parallel, the voltage drop on both the capacitors are same, that is equal to 8.90 volts.

Charge on the capacitor, C₁ = C₁ V = 1.13 μF x 8.90 = 10.05 μC

Charge on the capacitor, C₂ = C₂ V = 2.85 μF x 8.90 = 25.36 μC

What is the magnitude of velocity for a 2000 kg car possessing 3000 kgm/s of momentum
Alex

For this case we have that by definition, the momentum is given by:

p = mv

Where,

  • <em>m: mass </em>
  • <em>v: speed </em>

Therefore, replacing values we have:

3000 = (2000) v

From here, we clear the value of the speed:

v = \frac {3000} {2000}\\v = 1.5 \frac {m} {s}

Answer:

The magnitude of velocity is:

v = 1.5 \frac {m} {s}

A long, straight wire lies in the plane of a circular coil with a radius of 0.018 m. the wire carries a current of 5.6 a and is
iris [78.8K]
(a) The net flux through the coil is zero.
In fact, the magnetic field generated by the wire forms concentric circles around the wire. The wire is placed along the diameter of the coil, so we can imagine as it divides the  coil into two emisphere. Therefore, the magnetic field of the wire is perpendicular to the plane of the coil, but the direction of the field is opposite in the two emispheres. Since the two emispheres have same area, then the magnetic fluxes in the two emispheres are equal but opposite in sign, and so they cancel out when summing them together to find the net flux.

(b) If the wire passes through the center of the coil but it is perpendicular to the plane of the wire, the net flux through the coil is still zero.
In fact, the magnetic field generated by the wire forms concentric lines around the wire, so it is parallel to the plane of the coil. But the flux is equal to
\Phi = BA \cos \theta
where \theta is the angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the perpendicular to the plane of the coil, so in this case \theta=90^{\circ} and so the cosine is zero, therefore the net flux is zero.

You are coasting on your 12-kg bicycle at 13 m/s and a 5.0-g bug splatters on your helmet. The bug was initially moving at 1.5 m
Brut [27]

Answer:

a) Pi,c = 1066 kgm/s

b) Pi,b = 0.0075 kgm/s  

c) ΔV = - 0.0007 m/s

d) ΔV = - 0.0008 m/s

Explanation:

Given:-

- The mass of the bicycle, mc = 12 kg

- The mass of passenger, mp = 70 kg

- The mass of the bug, mb = 5.0 g

- The initial speed of the bicycle, vpi = 13 m/s

- The initial speed of the bug, vbi = 1.5 m/s

Find:-

a.What is the initial momentum of you plus your bicycle?

b.What is the initial momentum of the bug?

c.What is your change in velocity due to the collision the bug?

d.What would the change in velocity have been if the bug were traveling in the opposite direction?

Solution:-

- First we will set our one dimensional coordinate system, taking right to be positive in the direction of bicycle.

- The initial linear momentum (Pi,c) of the passenger and the bicycle would be:

                       Pi,c = vpi* ( mc + mp)

                       Pi,c = 13* ( 12+ 70 )

                       Pi,c = 1066 kgm/s  

- The initial linear momentum (Pi,b) of the bug would be:

                       Pi,b = vbi*mb

                       Pi,b = 0.005*1.5

                       Pi,b = 0.0075 kgm/s  

- We will consider the bicycle, the passenger and the bug as a system in isolation on which no external unbalanced forces are acting. This validates the use of linear conservation of momentum.

- The bicycle, passenger and bug all travel in the (+x) direction after the bug splatters on the helmet.

                       Pi = Pf

                       Pi,c + Pi,b = V*(mb + mc + mp)

Where,    V : The velocity of the (bicycle, passenger and bug) after collision.

                      1066 + 0.0075 = V*( 0.005 + 12 + 70 )

                      V = 1066.0075 / 82.005

                      V = 12.9993 m/s

- The change in velocity is Δv = 13 - 12.9993 =  - 0.00070 m/s      

- If the bug travels in the opposite direction then the sign of the initial momentum of the bug changes from (+) to (-).

- We will apply the linear conservation of momentum similarly.

                      Pi = Pf

                      Pi,c + Pi,b = V*(mb + mc + mp)        

                      1066 - 0.0075 = V*( 0.005 + 12 + 70 )

                      V = 1065.9925 / 82.005

                      V = 12.99911 m/s

- The change in velocity is Δv = 13 - 12.99911 =  -0.00088 m/s
