Answer:

5702.88 J or 5.7mJ

Explanation:

Given that :

C 1 = 6.0-μF

C 2 = 4.0-μF

V 1 = 50V

V 2 = 34V

Note that : Q = CV

Q 1 = C1 * V1

Q 1 = 50×6 = 300μC

Q 2 = 34×4 = 136μC

Parallel connection = C 1 + C 2

= 6+4 = 10μC

V = Qt/C

Where Qt = Q1+Q2

V = Q1+Q2/C

V = 300+136/10

V = 437/10

V = 43.6volts

Uc1 = 1/2×C1V^2

= 1/2 × 6μF × 43.6^2

= 1/2 × 6μF × 1900.96

= 3μF × 1900.96volts

= 5702.88J

= 5702.88J/1000

= 5.7mJ

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters whiling away time by playing 'tug of war' between practice sessions. They hold on to opposite
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Hank and Harry are two ice skaters, since both are on top of ice, we assume that friction is negligible.

We know that from Newton's Second Law;

Force = mass × Acceleration

F = ma

Since they hold on to opposite ends of the same rope. They have the same magnitude of force |F|, which is the same as the tension in the rope.

Now,

Mass_{Hank × Acceleration_{Hank = Mass_{Henry × Acceleration_{Henry

so

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = Acceleration_{Henry / Acceleration_{Hank

given that; magnitude of Hank's acceleration is 1.26 times greater than the magnitude of Harry's acceleration,

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 1 / 1.26

Mass_{Hank /  Mass_{Henry = 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Therefore, the ratio of Hank's mass to Harry's mass is 0.7937 or [ 0.7937 : 1 ]

Newton’s second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent on 1 variable which is the net force
Darya [45]
I think it’s false. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and then mass of the object.

How does a generator work?
insens350 [35]

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output.

It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.

The modern-day generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.
