Answer:

R = 1.79*10^6 Ω

C = 2.46*10^-6 F

Explanation:

Given

emf of the source, ε = 120 V

Current passing through the resistor, I = 6.7*10^-5 A

Time constant for the circuit, τ = 4.4 s

From the information above, we can say that RC = 4.4 s

Also, on applying the loop rule, we get

ε - IR = 0

ε = IR

R = ε / I

R = 120 / 6.7*10^-5

R = 1.79*10^6 Ω

Using the first equation, we can thus solve for C

RC = 4.4 s

C = 4.4 / R

C = 4.4 / 1.79*10^6

C = 2.46*10^-6 F

C = 2.46 μF

Therefore, the resistance and capacitance of the capacitor is respectively, 1.79 MΩ and 2.46 μF

Answer:

Resistance = 1.791 x 10^(6) Ω

Capacitance = 2.46 x 10^(-6) F

Explanation:

We are given;

EMF; E = 120V

Current; I = 6.7 × 10^(−5) A

Time constant; τ = 4.4 s

Now, just after the circuit is completed, the capacitor acts like a wire and thus we use the loop rule;

So,

E - IR = 0

Let's make the resistance R the subject.

R = E/I = 120/(6.7 × 10^(−5)) = 1.791 x 10^(6) Ω

Now formula for time constant is given as;

τ = RC

Where C is capacitance.

Thus, C = τ/R = 4.4/(1.791 x 10^(6))

C = 2.46 x 10^(-6) F

An object is 50 cm from a converging lens with a focal length of 40 cm . A real image is formed on the other side of the lens, 2
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

d) -4.0

Explanation:

The magnification of a lens is given by

M=-\frac{q}{p}

where

M is the magnification

q is the distance of the image from the lens

p is the distance of the object from the lens

In this problem, we have

p = 50 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

q = 250 cm - 50 cm is the distance of the image from the lens (because the image is 250 cm from the obejct

Also, q is positive since the image is real

So, the magnification is

M=-\frac{200 cm}{50 cm}=-4.0

50POINTS! Find the orbital speed of a satellite in a circular orbit 1700km above the surface of the Earth. M_earth 5.97e24kg, r_
ivolga24 [154]
<h2>Answer: 7020.117 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is<u> constant</u> and defined by the following expression:  

V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}} (1)  

Where:  

G=6.674({10}^{-11})\frac{N{m}^{2}}{{kg}^{2}} is the gravity constant

M_{Earth}=5.97{10}^{24}kg the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting, in this case, the Earth .

R=r_{Earth}+h=8080000m the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).  

This means the radius of the orbit is equal to <u>the sum</u> of the average radius of the Earth r_{Earth} and the altitude of the satellite above the Earth's surface h.

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. It depends on the mass of the massive body (the Earth).

Now, rewriting equation (1) with the known values:

V=\sqrt{(6.674({10}^{-11})\frac{N{m}^{2}}{{kg}^{2}})\frac{5.97{10}^{24}kg}{8080000m}}

V=7020.117\frac{m}{s}
