Answer:

The time constant is 1.049.

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge q{t}= 0.65 q_{0}

We need to calculate the time constant

Using expression for charging in a RC circuit

q(t)=q_{0}[1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}]

Where, \dfrac{t}{RC} = time constant

Put the value into the formula

0.65q_{0}=q_{0}[1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}]

1-e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}=0.65

e^{-(\dfrac{t}{RC})}=0.35

-\dfrac{t}{RC}=ln (0.35)

-\dfrac{t}{RC}=-1.049

\dfrac{t}{RC}=1.049

Hence, The time constant is 1.049.

A bullet leaves a gun with a horizontal velocity of 100 m/s. Calculate the distance it would travel in 1.3 seconds.
stiks02 [169]

Ignoring air resistance, the bullet's horizontal velocity is constant:

v_x=v_{0x}=100\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

In 1.3 seconds, we can expect it to travel

v_xt=\left(100\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(1.3\,\mathrm s)=130\,\mathrm m

6. What is the change in temperature of a metal rod that is 55.0 cm long, decreases length by 0.20 cm, and that has a coefficien
MrMuchimi

Explanation:

We have,

Length of a metal rod is 55 cm or 0.55 m

Change in length is 0.2 cm or 0.002 m

It is required to find the change in temperature of a metal rod. The coefficient of linear expansion is given by :

\alpha =\dfrac{\Delta L}{L_0\Delta T}

\Delta T is the change in temperature

\Delta T =\dfrac{\Delta L}{L_0\alpha }\\\\\Delta T =\dfrac{0.002}{0.55\times 12\times 10^{-6}}\\\\\Delta T= 303.03^{\circ} C

So, the change in temperature is 303.03 degrees Celsius.
