Question 4 (18 marks) (a) During a Physics Lab experiment, 1 st year SFY students analyzed the behavior of capacitors by connect

ing two capacitors to power sources. In one part of the lab activities, students connected a 2.50 µF capacitor to a 746 V power source, whilst connected a second 6.80 µF capacitor to a 562 V source. Once these capacitors are charged, they are then removed from the power sources and are interconnected by connecting the two positive plates (of the capacitors) together, and the two negative plates together. Determine the potential difference and charge across EACH capacitor. (12 marks) (b) In the second part of the lab activities, students charged another capacitor () using a 165 V source. Once charged, the capacitor was then removed from removed from the source and then connected to another capacitor () which was initially uncharged. If the students measured the final potential difference across each capacitor to be 15V, determine the value of (). (6 marks)

Answer:

1.) 274.5v

2.) 206.8v

Explanation:

1.) Given that In one part of the lab activities, students connected a 2.50 µF capacitor to a 746 V power source, whilst connected a second 6.80 µF capacitor to a 562 V source.

The potential difference and charge across EACH capacitor will be

V = Voe

Where Vo = initial voltage

e = natural logarithm = 2.718

For the first capacitor 2.50 µF,

V = Vo × 2.718

746 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 746/2.718

Vo = 274.5v

To calculate the charge, use the below formula.

Q = CV

Q = 2.5 × 10^-6 × 274.5

Q = 6.86 × 10^-4 C

For the second capacitor 6.80 µF 

V = Voe

562 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 562/2.718

Vo = 206.77v

The charge on it will be

Q = CV

Q = 6.8 × 10^-6 × 206.77

Q = 1.41 × 10^-3 C

B.) Using the formula V = Voe again

165 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 165 /2.718

Vo = 60.71v

Q = C × 60.71

Q = C

On the way to school, the bus speeds up from 20 m/s to 36 m/s in 4 seconds. What distance
Tresset [83]
Answer B. 112 m



Step-by-Step Explanation

initial velocity u = 20 m /s
final velocity v = 36 m /s
time taken t = 4 s
acceleration = (v - U) / t
= (36 - 20) / 4
a=4m/s2
from the formula
7-u2=2as , sis distance covered
putting the values
362-202=2×4×s
1296 - 400 = 8 x S
S= 112 m

Calculate the acceleration of an airplane that starts at rest and reaches a speed 45m/s in 9 seconds
sasho [114]

I believe the acceleration would be 5m/s

All you would need to do is divide the final speed by the time it took to get there. I am only about 80 sure this answer is correct, so take my advise only if you feel comfortable.
