Answer:

0.636 kJ

Explanation:

The charge on any capacity, q = CV, thus,

The initial charge on the 70 pF capacitor is

q = Cv

q = 70*10^-12 * 3.6*10^3

q = 2.52*10^-7 C

The charge on the 280 pF capacitor is q = C*v

q = 280*10^-12 * 3.6*10^3

q = 1.008x10^-6 C

When they are connected as stated, the net total charge remaining will be 1.008*10^-6 - 2.52*10^-7 = 7.56*10^-7 C

Since the capacitors are in parallel, the equivalent capacitance will be 70 + 280 pF = 350 pF

Remember, q = CV, then V = q/C

V = 7.56*10^-7 C / 350*10^12 F

V = 2160 V

b) The energy before is 1/2 C*v²

E = 1/2 * 70*10^-12 * 3600² + 1/2 * 280*10^-12 * 3600²

E = 4.536*10^-4 J + 1.814*10^-3 J

E = 2.268 kJ

The energy After is 1/2 Cv²

E = 1/2 * 70*10^-12 * 2160² + 1/2 * 280*10^-12 * 2160²

E = 3.266*10^-4 J + 1.306*10^-3 J

E = 1.632 kJ

so the loss is 2.268 - 1.632 = 0.636 kJ

The unit of electrical current is the ampere (A).
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

Current unit is ampere (A)

Ampere will be equivalent to = ?

we know,

Current can be define as the charge per unit time

I = \dfrac{Q}{t}

unit of charge(Q) is coulomb which is equal to C.

unit of time(t) is equal to 's'.

now,

I = \dfrac{C}{s}

unit of I = C/s

ampere(A) is equivalent to C/s

The correct answer is option B

What is the magnite of the net displacement of the mouse?
agasfer [191]

Complete Question

A field mouse trying to escape a hawk runs east for 5.0m, darts southeast for 3.0m, then drops 1.0m down a hole into its burrow. What is the magnitude of the net displacement of the mouse?

Answer:

The  values is  s =  7.49 \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  distance it travels eastward is  x =  5.0 \ m

   The distance it travel towards the southeast  is l  =  3.0\  m

   The distance it travel towards the south is  z =  1 \  m

 

Let x-axis  be east

      y-axis  south

       z-axis into the ground

The angle made between east and south is  \theta  =  45^o

The displacement toward x-axis is

       x =  5 +  3cos(45)

       x =  7.12

 The  displacement toward the y-axis is  

     y  =  3 *  sin (45)

      y =  2.123

Now the overall displacement of the rat is mathematically evaluated as

        s =  \sqrt{7.12^2 +  2.12^2 +  1^2}

      s =  7.49 \  m

A force of 45 newtons is applied on an object, moving it 12 meters away in the same direction as the force. What is the magnitud
NARA [144]
<h2>Answer: 540 J</h2>

Explanation:

The Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:  

W=(F)(d) (1)  

In this case both (the force and the distance in the path) are parallel (this means they are in the same direction), so the work W performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box F=45N by the distance traveled d=12m.

Hence:  

W=(45N)(12m)   (2)

W=540Nm=540J
