A 6.0-μF capacitor charged to 50 V and a 4.0-μF capacitor charged to 34 V are connected to each other, with the two positive pla

tes connected and the two negative plates connected. What is the total energy stored in the 6.0-μF capacitor at equilibrium?

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

What are two ways in which you can increase the potential energy of a marble on a ramp?

valkas [14]

Answer:

As the marble starts rolling down the roller coaster, the amount of potential energy stored in the marble decreases while its kinetic energy increases. Potential energy is also converted into heat energy due to friction.

Explanation:

As the marble rolls down the hill its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy (its height decreases, but its velocity increases). When the marble goes back up the loop its height increases again and its velocity decreases, changing kinetic energy into potential energy.

A bowling ball of mass 5.8 kg moves in a straight line at 4.34 m/s How fast must a Ping-Pong ball of mass 2.214 g move in a stra

lilavasa [31]

Answer: 11369.46 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$m_{1}=5.8 kg$ is the mass of the bowling ball

$V_{1}=4.34 m/s$ is the velocity of the bowling ball

$m_{2}=2.214 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.002214 kg$ is the mass of the ping-pong ball

$V_{2}$ is the velocity of the ping-pong ball

Now, the momentum $p_{1}$ of the bowling ball is:

$p_{1}=m_{1}V_{1}$ (1)

$p_{1}=(5.8 kg)(4.34 m/s)$

$p_{1}=25.172 kg m/s$ (2)

And the momentum $p_{2}$ of the ping-pong ball is:

$p_{2}=m_{2}V_{2}$ (3)

If the momentum of the bowling ball is equal to the momentum of the ping-pong ball:

$p_{1}=p_{2}$ (4)

$m_{1}V_{1}=m_{2}V_{2}$ (5)

Isolating $V_{2}$ :

$V_{2}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{2}}$ (6)

$V_{2}=\frac{25.172 kg m/s}{0.002214 kg}$ (7)

Finally:

$V_{2}=11369.46 m/s$

Help with 5 and the question below. BRAINLIEST FOR THE CORRECT ANSWER! Urgent Physics help!

Sound level at distance of 15 m is given as 20 dB

so intensity at this distance is given as

$L = 10 Log\frac{I}{I_0}$

$20 = 10 Log{I}{10^{-12}}$

$I_1 = 10^{-10}W/m^2$

now if we move closer to some some distance the sound level is now 50 dB

now the intensity is given as

$L = 10 Log\frac{I}{I_0}$

$50 = 10Log\frac{I}{10^{-12}}$

$I_2 = 10^{-7}W/m^2$

now we know that

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}$

$\frac{10^{-10}}{10^{-7}} = \frac{r_2^2}{15^2}$

$r_2 = 47 cm$

so now the distance from friend must be 47 cm

A package of aluminum foil contains 50. ft2 of foil, which weighs approximately 6.0 oz. Aluminum has a density of 2.70 g/cm3. Wh

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

1.36 x 10^-3 cm

Explanation:

Area = 50 ft^2 = 46451.5 cm^2

mass = 6 oz = 170.097 g

density = 2.70 g/cm^3

Let t be the thickness of foil in cm.

mass = volume x density

mass = area x thickness x density

170.097 = 46451.5 x t x 2.70

t = 1.36 x 10^-3 cm

Thus, the thickness of aluminium foil is 1.36 x 10^-3 cm.
