Answer:

C₁ = 3 pF

C₂ = 6 pF

Explanation:

Let the capacitance be C₁ and C₂.

For parallel combination

C₁ +C₂ = 9

For series combination

2=\frac{C_1\times C_2}{C_1+C_2}

2=\frac{C_1\times C_2}{9}

C₁ X C₂ = 18

( 9-C₂ )X C₂ = 18

C₂²- 9C₂ +18 = 0

C₂ = 6 or 3.

C₁ = 3 or 6.

C₁ = 3 pF

C₂ = 6 pF

The gun and the bullet have much different masses. The forces of each are equal but since f=mass * acceleration, the bullet will have a greater acceleration because its mass is much smaller.

A sports car accelerates at a constant rate from rest to a speed of 90 km/hr in 8 s. What is its acceleration?
AfilCa [17]
First convert 90km/hr to m/s.

Initiate velocity = 0m/s (car was at rest)

Final velocity is 25m/s (90km/hr converted)

25m/s - 0m/s / 8s = 3.125 m/s^s

Therefore the answer is option A (3.13m/s^2)
