A 7.8 µF capacitor is charged by a 9.00 V battery through a resistance R. The capacitor reaches a potential difference of 4.20 V
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

655128 ohm

Explanation:

C = Capacitance of the capacitor = 7.8 x 10⁻⁶ F  

V₀ = Voltage of the battery = 9 Volts  

V = Potential difference across the battery after time "t" = 4.20 Volts  

t = time interval = 3.21 sec  

T = Time constant

R = resistance  

Potential difference across the battery after time "t" is given as  

V = V_{o} (1-e^{\frac{-t}{T}})

4.20 = 9 (1-e^{\frac{-3.21}{T}})

T = 5.11 sec  

Time constant is given as  

T = RC  

5.11 = (7.8 x 10⁻⁶) R  

R = 655128 ohm

You have arrived at the scene of a two car accident. You know the following pieces of information:
Pani-rosa [81]

The initial velocity of car 1 is 20 m/s to the right

The initial velocity of car 2 is zero

The final velocity of car 2 is 10 m/s to the right

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision.

Therefore, we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2

where:

m_1 = 2000 kg is the mass of the first car

u_1 is the initial velocity of the first car

v_1 = 10 m/s is the final velocity of the first car (taking right as positive direction)

m_2 = 2000 kg is the mass of the second car

u_2 = 0 is the initial velocity of the second car

v_2 is the final velocity of the second car

We also know the initial momentum of car 1, which is

p_1 =40,000 kg m/s

And since momentum is the mass times the velocity, we find the initial velocity of car 1:

u_1 = \frac{p_1}{m_1}=\frac{40,000}{2,000}=20 m/s

with a positive sign, since the direction is to the right.

Now we can re-arrange the previous equation and solve for v2, the final velocity of car 2:

v_2 = \frac{m_1 u_1 -m_1 v_1}{m_2} = \frac{(2000)(20)-(2000)(10)}{2000}=10 m/s

And since the sign is positive, the direction is the same as the initial direction of car 1, so to the right.
