Answer:

Current in the capacitor will be equal to 0.01 A      

Explanation:

Capacitance of the capacitor C=20nF=20\times 10^{-9}F

Capacitor voltage is change to 5 volt

So change in capacitor voltage dV=5volt

Time taken to change in capacitor voltage dt=10\mu sec=10^{-5}sec

Current in the capacitor is equal to

i=C\frac{dV}{dt}=20\times 10^{-9}\times \frac{5}{10^{-5}}=0.01A

So current in the capacitor will be equal to 0.01 A

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Part A: Q = 0.075C

Part B: E = 187.5J

Part C: I = 50A

Part D: ΔQ 1.53C

Explanation:

Part A

Q = C×V

Given

C = 15μF = 15×10‐⁶ F, V = 5kV = 5000V

Q = 15×10‐⁶× 5000 = 0.075C

Part B

Energy = E = 1/2 ×CV² = 1/2 × 15×10‐⁶ × 5000² = 187.5J

Part C

Given R = 100Ω

V = IR, I = V/R = 5000/100 = 50A

Part D

I = ΔQ/Δt

Given Δt= 90ms = 90×10-³s, I = 17A

ΔQ = I × Δt = 17×90×10-³ = 1.53 C

A ball of silly putty hits andsticks to a bowling ball that was initially at rest. After thecollision, the total kinetic energy
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

3. less than the kinetic energy of thesilly putty before the collision.

Explanation:

This is because kinetic energy is dependent on the mass and velocity of an object. Mathematically, it is given as:

K. E. = ½*m*v²

Where m = mass

v = velocity

In the case of the silly putty, we know that the masses of the ball of silly putty and the bowling ball are conserved, hence, the kinetic energy depends solely on the velocity at which the object moves.

After the collision with the bowling ball, because of how heavy a bowling ball is, the speed of the silly putty and bowling ball will definitely be less than the speed of the silly putty before collision, i. e. u > v.

Hence, the kinetic energy after collision will be less than the kinetic energy before collision.

A construction crane lowers a beam into place at constant speed. Consider the work Wg done by gravity on the beam and the work W
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Wg is positive and WT negative.

(Letters in options are all wrongly written).

Explanation:

Remember that the work of a force is the internal product between the force and the displacement W=F.d.

Since the displacement is downwards like the weight, the work done by gravity is positive, while the work done by the tension is negative since it points upwards.

[A] Write an expression for the equivalent resistance of three resistors connected in parallel.[ no derivation needed]
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

1) R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))

2) 0.5 A

3) 3.6 V

Explanation:

1) We can see that resistors R2 and R3 are in parallel.

Formula for sum of parallel resistors; 1/Rt = 1/R2 + 1/R3

Making Rt the subject gives;

Rt = (R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3)

Now, Resistor R1 is in series with this sum of R2 and R3. Thus;

Total resistance of circuit = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))

2) R_total = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))

We are given;

R1 = 7.2 Ω

R2 = 8 Ω

R3 = 12 Ω

R_total = 7.2 + ((8 × 12)/(8 + 12))

R_total = 7.2 + 4.8

R_total = 12 Ω

Formula for current is;

I = V/R

I = 6/12

I = 0.5 A

3) since current through the circuit is 0.5 and R1 is 7.2 Ω.

Thus, potential difference through R1 is;

V = IR = 0.5 × 7.2 = 3.6 V
