Answer:

(a) Charge of 4.25 μF capacitor is 35.46 μC.

(b) Charge of 1.13 μF capacitor is 10.05 μC.

(c) Charge of 2.85 μF capacitor is 25.36 μC.

Explanation:

Let C₁ , C₂ and C₃ are the capacitor which are connected to the battery having voltage V. According to the problem, C₁ and C₂ are connected in parallel. There equivalent capacitance is:

C₄ = C₁ + C₂

Substitute 1.13 μF for C₁ and 2.85 μF for C₂ in the above equation.

C₄ = ( 1.13 + 2.85 ) μF = 3.98 μF

Since, C₄ and C₃ are connected in series, there equivalent capacitance is:

C₅ = \frac{C_{3}C_{4}  }{C_{3} + C_{4}  }

Substitute 4.25 μF for C₃ and 3.98 μF for C₄ in the above equation.

C₅ = \frac{4.25\times3.98 }{4.25 + 3.98  }

C₅ = 2.05 μF

The charge on the equivalent capacitance is determine by the relation :

Q = C₅ V

Substitute 2.05 μF for C₅ and 17.3 volts for V in the above equation.

Q = 2.05 μF x 17.3  = 35.46 μC

Since, the capacitors C₃ and C₄ are connected in series, so the charge on these capacitors are equal to the charge on the equivalent capacitor C₅.

Charge on the capacitor, C₃ = 35.46 μC

Charge on the capacitor, C₄ = 35.46 μC

Voltage on the capacitor C₄ = \frac{Q}{C_{4} } = \frac{35.46\times10^{-6} }{3.98\times10^{-6}} = 8.90 volts

Since, C₁ and C₂ are connected in parallel, the voltage drop on both the capacitors are same, that is equal to 8.90 volts.

Charge on the capacitor, C₁ = C₁ V = 1.13 μF x 8.90 = 10.05 μC

Charge on the capacitor, C₂ = C₂ V = 2.85 μF x 8.90 = 25.36 μC

Solve -7= sqrt 2x-9​
Sauron [17]

Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

if it was -7 = the square root of both 2x-9 together, it would be false.

if it was square root of just 2x in the equation, the answer is:

x = 2

°°°°°°°°°

-7 = √2x - 9

-√2x = -9 + 7

√-2x = -2

√2x = 2

2x = 4

x = 2

If a spring has a spring constant of 1.00 × 10^3 N/m, what is the restoring force when the mass has been displaced 20.0 cm?
never [62]

The spring has a spring constant of 1.00 * 10^3 N/m and the mass has been displaced 20.0 cm then the restoring force is 20000 N/m.

Explanation:

When a spring is stretched or compressed its length changes by an amount x from its equilibrium length then the restoring force is exerted.

spring constant is k = 1.00 * 10^3 N/m

mass is x = 20.0 cm

According to Hooke's law, To find restoring force,

    F = - kx

        = - 1.00 *10 ^3 * 20.0

     F = 20000 N/m

Thus, the spring has a spring constant of 1.00 * 10^3 N/m and the mass has been displaced 20.0 cm then the restoring force is 20000 N/m.

The equations of kinematics describe the motion of an
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The equations of kinematics is applied for the motion with constant acceleration (including zero), but the condition is that the acceleration should be in the direction of the motion (positive or negative).

In circular motion, the acceleration is radial (centripetal), which means that the acceleration is always perpendicular to the motion of the object, therefore the equations of kinematics cannot be applied.
