Three capacitors having capacitances of 8.40, 8.40, and 4.20μF, respectively, are connected in series across a 36.0-V potential

difference. (a) What is the charge on the 4.20−μF capacitor? (b) The capacitors are disconnected from the potential difference without allowing them to discharge. They are then reconnected in parallel with each other with the positively charged plates connected together. What is the voltage across each capacitor in the parallel combination?

Answer:

Therefore,

The charge on the 4.20μF capacitor is 75.6μC.

The voltage across each capacitor in the parallel combination is 10.8 Volt.

Explanation:

Given:

Three capacitors having capacitance,

C_{1}=8.4\mu F\\C_{2}=8.40\mu F\\C_{3}=4.20\mu F\\

are connected in series across a 36.0-V potential difference,

V= 36 V

To Find:

Qs = ? charge on the 4.20−μF

V = ? voltage across each capacitor in the parallel combination

Solution:

For Capacitor Series Combination we have,

\dfrac{1}{C_{s}}=\dfrac{1}{C_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{C_{2}}+\dfrac{1}{C_{3}}

Substituting the values we get

\dfrac{1}{C_{s}}=\dfrac{1}{8.4}+\dfrac{1}{8.4}+\dfrac{1}{4.2}\\\\C_{s}=2.1\mu F

As Capacitors are connected in series they have the same charge on each plates, and is given by

Q= C_{s}\times V

Substituting the values we get

Q= 2.1\mu F\times 36=75.6\mu C\\Q=75.6\mu C

Now when the plates are connected in Parallel we will have,

C_{p}=C_{1}+C_{2}+C_{3}

Substituting the values we get

C_{p}=8.4+8.4+4.2=21\mu F

As Capacitors are connected in Parallel they have the same Voltage on each plates, and is given by

V= \dfrac{Q_{1}+Q_{2}+Q_{3}}{C_{p}}

Substituting the values we get

V=\dfrac{75.6+75.6+75.6}{21}=10.8\ V

Therefore,

The charge on the 4.20μF capacitor is 75.6μC.

The voltage across each capacitor in the parallel combination is 10.8 Volt.

A satellite circles the Earth in an orbit whose radius is twice the Earth’s radius. The Earth’s mass is 5.98 x 1024 kg, and its
gavmur [86]

Hello!

Recall the period of an orbit is how long it takes the satellite to make a complete orbit around the earth. Essentially, this is the same as 'time' in the distance = speed * time equation. For an orbit, we can define these quantities:

d = 2\pi r ← The circumference of the orbit

speed = orbital speed, we will solve for this later

time = period

Therefore:

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

Where 'r' is the orbital radius of the satellite.

First, let's solve for 'v' assuming a uniform orbit using the equation:
v = \sqrt{\frac{Gm}{r}}

G = Gravitational Constant (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)

m = mass of the earth (5.98 × 10²⁴ kg)

r = radius of orbit (1.276 × 10⁷ m)

Plug in the givens:
v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.98*10^{24})}{(1.276*10^7)}} = 5590.983 m/s

Now, we can solve for the period:

T = \frac{2\pi (1.276*10^7)}{5590.983} =\boxed{ 14339.776 s}

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

<h2>23.33 kg </h2>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m  = \frac{42}{1.8}   = 23.3333... \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>23.33 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

Write a brief essay describing how Newton’s Laws explain how a rocket in space can move objects
statuscvo [17]
The First Law describes how an object acts when no force is acting upon it. So, rockets stay still until a force is applied to move them. Likewise, once they're in motion, they won't stop until a force is applied. Newton's Second Law tells us that the more mass an object has, the more force is needed to move it. A larger rocket will need stronger forces (eg. more fuel) to make it accelerate. The space shuttles required seven pounds of fuel for every pound of payload they carry. Newton's Third Law states that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". In a rocket, burning fuel creates a push on the front of the rocket pushing it forward.
