Answer:

40V

Explanation:

The potential difference across the initially uncharged capacitor is still 40V since there both connected in parallel. For parallel capacitor connections, the potential difference across the terminals (ends) of the capacitors is the same for all the capacitors but the charge on each capacitor depends on it capacitance.

So in this case the uncharged capacitor is in a parallel connection with the charged 40V capacitor. The connection of 15μF capacitor across the uncharged capacitor sets up a potential difference of 40V across its ends.

Answer:

24volts

Explanation:

If a 15-µF capacitor is charged to 40V, the charge across the capacitor can be calculated using the formula;

Q = CV where;

Q is the charge flowing across the capacitor

C is the capacitance of the capacitor. = 15-µF

V is the voltage = 40V

Q = 15×10^-6×40

Q = 0.0006coulombs

If the charge of 0.0006coulombs is then connected across an initially uncharged 25-µF capacitor, the potential difference across the 25-µF can be calculated using the initial expression;

Q = CV

V = Q/C

V = 0.0006/25×10^-6

V = 24Volts

Therefore, the final potential difference across the 25-µF capacitor will be 24volts

Biologists use optical tweezers to manipulate micron-sized objects using a beam of light. In this technique, a laser beam is foc
vekshin1

Answer:

Explanation:

Part A) Using

light intensity I= P/A

A= Area= π (Radius)^2= π((0.67*10^-6m)/(2))^2= 1.12*10^-13 m^2

Radius= Diameter/2

P= power= 10*10^-3=0.01 W

light intensity I= 0.01/(1.12*10^-13)= 9*10^10 W/m^2

Part B)  Using

I=c*ε*E^2/2

rearrange to solve for E= \sqrt{((I*2)/(c*ε))

c is the speed of light which is 3*10^8 m/s^2

ε=permittivity of free space or dielectric constant= 8.85* 10^-12 F⋅m−1

I= the already solved light intensity= 8.85*10^10 W/m^2

amplitude of the electric field E= \sqrt{(9*10^10 W/m^2)*(2) / (3*10^8 m/s^2)*(8.85* 10^-12 F⋅m−1)

---> E= \sqrt{(1.8*10^11) / (2.66*10^-3) = \sqrt{(6.8*10^13) = 8.25*10^6 V/m

Identify two structural characteristics specific to muscle tissue.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Muscle cells are excitable; they respond to a stimulus.meaning they can shorten and generate a pulling force. When attached between two movable objects, such as two bones, contraction of the muscles cause the bones to move.It contains protein fibers which contract to make the cell shorter.
