You take a couple of capacitors and connect them in series, to which you observe a total capacitance of 4.8microfarads. However,

when you connect them in parallel their combined capacitance is 35microfarads. Determine the value of each capacitor.

Answer:

C₁ = 34.8 μF

C₂ = 0.2 μF

Explanation:

When the capacitors are connected in series their resultant capacitance is given by the formula:

Cs = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂

where,

Cs = Series equivalent capacitance = 4.8 μF

C₁ = Capacitance of 1st Capacitor

C₂ = Capacitance of 2nd Capacitor

Therefore,

4.8 μF = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂

(4.8 μF)(C₁ C₂) = C₁ + C₂   --------------- equation 1

When the capacitors are connected in parallel their resultant capacitance is given by the formula:

Cp = C₁ + C₂

where,

Cp = Parallel equivalent capacitance = 35 μF

Therefore,

35 μF = C₁ + C₂   -------------- equation 2

solving equation 1 and equation 2 simultaneously, we get:

<u>C₁ = 34.8 μF</u>

<u>C₂ = 0.2 μF</u>

A 62.00-cm guitar string under a tension of 70.000 N has a mass per unit length of 0.10000 g/cm. What is the highest resonant fr
quester [9]

Answer:

17,947.02 Hz

Explanation:

length (L) = 62 cm = 0.62 m

tension (T) = 70 N

mass per unit length (μ) = 0.10000 g/cm = 0.010000 kg/m

maximum frequency = 18,000 Hz

f = \frac{n}{2L} x \sqrt{\frac{T}{μ}}

f = \frac{n}{2 x 0.62} x \sqrt{\frac{70}{0.01} }

f = n x 67.47

18,000 = n x 67.47

n = 266.8≈ 266

the 267th overtone is the highest overtone that can be heard by this person, and its frequency would be 26 x 67.47 = 17,947.02 Hz

A hiker walked a hiking trail according to the chart below. What is a possible explanation of the hiker's movement?
joja [24]
<span>a.The hiker had an easy, level trail from 11:00-12:00 and was able to travel the fastest during that time period.---> may be because this was indeed fastest  stage


b.The hiker got tired and walked the slowest from 1:00-2:00.---> no, because this was not the slowest stage


c.The hiker stopped for lunch from 11:00-12:00 and that slowed him down.---> no because this was the fastest stage


d.The hiker ended up in the same place that he started.---> no, because the hiker walked more toward east than toward west and more toward south than toward north.

Answer: option a)

allsm [11]

If it’s loud enough for your family to hear it, it’s best you turn it down. It could cause permanent damage to your ear drums if it’s loud enough and you could start to lose your hearing. So if your family were to tell you to turn it down, you should probably just turn it down!
