Two students measure the time constant of an RC circuit. The first student charges the capacitor using a 12 V battery, then lets

the capacitor discharge the resistor. The second student repeats the experiment using a 5 V battery
Which student measures the longer time constant? Why? Select the correct answer and explanation.

a.) The second student gets a greater time constant, since the time constant decreases as the charge on the capacitor increases.

b.) The first student gets a greater time constant, since the time constant increases as the charge on the capacitor increases.

c.) Both students get the same time constant, since the time constant does not depend on the charge on the capacitor.

Answer:

The answer is: c.) Both students get the same time constant, since the time constant does not depend on the charge on the capacitor

Explanation:

Both students, because the time constant is not dependent on the capacitor charge.  We can express the equation of the time constant as follows:

Time constant = RC

In this equation it is observed that the time constant is equal to the multiplication of the resistance (R) multiplied by the capacitance (C)

A compressor receives air at 290 K, 100 kPa and a shaft work of 5.5 kW from a gasoline engine. It is to deliver a mass flow rate
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

P_2=4091\ KPa

Explanation:

Given that

T₁ = 290 K

P₁ = 100 KPa

Power P =5.5 KW

mass flow rate

\dot{m}= 0.01\ kg/s

Lets take the exit temperature = T₂

We know that

P=\dot{m}\ C_p (T_2-T_1)

5.5=0.01\times 1.005(T_2-290})\\T_2=\dfrac{5.5}{0.01\times 1.005}+290\ K\\\\T_2=837.26\ K

If we assume that process inside the compressor is adiabatic then we can say that

\dfrac{T_2}{T_1}=\left(\dfrac{P_2}{P_1}\right)^{0.285}

\dfrac{837.26}{290}=\left(\dfrac{P_2}{100}\right)^{0.285}\\2.88=\left(\dfrac{P_2}{100}\right)^{0.285}\\

2.88^{\frac{1}{0.285}}=\dfrac{P_2}{100}

P_2=40.91\times 100 \ KPa

P_2=4091\ KPa

That is why the exit pressure will be 4091 KPa.

Electrons are ejected from sodium metal by any light that has a wavelength shorter than 544 nm. What is the kinetic energy of an
wel

Answer:

KE=2.3 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

Given that

λ = 544 nm

λ' = 485 nm

The kinetic energy KE given as

KE= E - Ф

Where

E=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda'}

\phi=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda}

h= 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴

C=3 x 10⁸ m/s

Now by putting the values

KE=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda'}-\dfrac{hC}{\lambda}

KE=\dfrac{34.34\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{485\times 10^{-9}}- \dfrac{34.34\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{544\times 10^{-9}}

KE=2.3 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

This is kinetic energy.

What is the magnitude of the net force needed to bring a 2110 kg car to rest from 18.1 m/s in 7.0 seconds?
lozanna [386]
Here is what we know:
a = ?, s = ?, u = 18.1m/s, v = zero/rest, t = 7.0s, m = 2110kg

(a = acceleration, s= displacement, u = initial velocity, v = final velocity, t = time and m is mass)

Now we choose a kinematic formula. Since we know v, u and t, we will use the formula: v = u+at and rearrange it so that we can find a.
a = v-u/t
a = 0-18.1/7.0 = -2.5857...
therefore, a = -2.6m/s

We have our acceleration, now let’s find the net force. To find the force we use one of Newtons laws of motion.
We will use Newtons second law since it describes what happens when one or more forces act upon an object.
F = ma
F = (2110kg)(-2.6m/s)
F = -5486 kg
Therefore the net force F = -5486 N

Consider an object with s=12cm that produces an image with s′=15cm. Note that whenever you are working with a physical object, t
Leni [432]

A. 6.67 cm

The focal length of the lens can be found by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{s'}

where we have

f = focal length

s = 12 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

s' = 15 cm is the distance of the image from the lens

Solving the equation for f, we find

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{12 cm}+\frac{1}{15 cm}=0.15 cm^{-1}\\f=\frac{1}{0.15 cm^{-1}}=6.67 cm

B. Converging

According to sign convention for lenses, we have:

- Converging (convex) lenses have focal length with positive sign

- Diverging (concave) lenses have focal length with negative sign

In this case, the focal length of the lens is positive, so the lens is a converging lens.

C. -1.25

The magnification of the lens is given by

M=-\frac{s'}{s}

where

s' = 15 cm is the distance of the image from the lens

s = 12 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Substituting into the equation, we find

M=-\frac{15 cm}{12 cm}=-1.25

D. Real and inverted

The magnification equation can be also rewritten as

M=\frac{y'}{y}

where

y' is the size of the image

y is the size of the object

Re-arranging it, we have

y'=My

Since in this case M is negative, it means that y' has opposite sign compared to y: this means that the image is inverted.

Also, the sign of s' tells us if the image is real of virtual. In fact:

- s' is positive: image is real

- s' is negative: image is virtual

In this case, s' is positive, so the image is real.

E. Virtual

In this case, the magnification is 5/9, so we have

M=\frac{5}{9}=-\frac{s'}{s}

which can be rewritten as

s'=-M s = -\frac{5}{9}s

which means that s' has opposite sign than s: therefore, the image is virtual.

F. 12.0 cm

From the magnification equation, we can write

s'=-Ms

and then we can substitute it into the lens equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{s'}\\\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{-Ms}

and we can solve for s:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{M-1}{Ms}\\f=\frac{Ms}{M-1}\\s=\frac{f(M-1)}{M}=\frac{(-15 cm)(\frac{5}{9}-1}{\frac{5}{9}}=12.0 cm

G. -6.67 cm

Now the image distance can be directly found by using again the magnification equation:

s'=-Ms=-\frac{5}{9}(12.0 cm)=-6.67 cm

And the sign of s' (negative) also tells us that the image is virtual.

H. -24.0 cm

In this case, the image is twice as tall as the object, so the magnification is

M = 2

and the distance of the image from the lens is

s' = -24 cm

The problem is asking us for the image distance: however, this is already given by the problem,

s' = -24 cm

so, this is the answer. And the fact that its sign is negative tells us that the image is virtual.

A large mass collides with a stationary, smaller mass. How will the masses behave if the collision is inelastic?
iragen [17]
Logically both masses will collide and well make a reaction. first of all depending on the small mass it will either merge or unite with the big mass or it will bounce away from it . if this happen it will make a reaction that will affect both masses. Hope this helps if it is incorrect please let me know :)
