Answer:

The Current Iₜ = I₁ + I₂ + I₃

Charge Qₜ = Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃

Potential difference Vₜ = V₁ = V₂ = V₃

The total capacitance Cₜ = C₁ + C₂ + C₃

Explanation:

According to the attached image;

For parallel arrangements of capacitors, the current flowing through each of the capacitors sums up to the total current flowing through the circuit;

Iₜ = I₁ + I₂ + I₃

Also the charge storage by each capacitor sums up to give the total charge stored;

Qₜ = Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃

The potential difference across each of the capacitors are the same and equal to the total voltage across the circuit;

Vₜ = V₁ = V₂ = V₃

The total capacitance equals the sum of the capacitances of each of the capacitors;

Cₜ = C₁ + C₂ + C₃

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

approx.= 25\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration (a) is defined as the square of an object's velocity (V^2) divided by the distance of the object from it's point/axis of revolution (r). So:

a=\frac{V^{2} }{r}

which allows us to solve for the velocity:

V=\sqrt{ar}\\ Since: a=3.04g=(3.04)(9.81),r=21;\\V=\sqrt{(3.04)(9.81)(21)} =25.02...

Wittaler [7]

Answer: the correct one is E .systems; for example, hurricanes could be prevented from forming by artificial "reefs" of precisely shaped marine platforms

Explanation:

(A) The portion after the semi-colon (for instance, ... platforms) is not a complete sentence.

(B) The portion after the semi-colon (for example, ... forming) is not a complete sentence.

(C) Which ... "reefs" ... prevent forming is unidiomatic; from is needed between prevent and forming. Prevent appears in the present tense, illogically implying that the artificial reefs—which don't yet exist, according to the earlier part of the sentence—already prevent the formation of hurricanes.

(D) The construction such as artificial "reefs" illogically implies that artificial reefs are weather systems. Additionally, the use of can in the present tense (as opposed to could) illogically implies that the artificial reefs—which don't yet exist, according to the earlier part of the sentence—do already exist.

(E) CORRECT. The semicolon is properly used to separate two complete sentences. Could is correctly used to describe a hypothetical consequence.
