"Voltage" is the "pressure" that makes electrons want to leave where they are
and head in some direction, if there's conducting material in that direction.

"Current" is the rate at which they all migrate in that direction.

Why can an object still be seen when it is at absolute zero?

zavuch27 [327]

<span>As the temperature goes down, the chaotic motion (velocity) of atoms start decreasing. If the temperature hits the absolute zero (which, in reality, is impossible to achieve), the atoms of the body would freeze, making the body still and stiff. One thing to note here is that the atoms do not get destroyed when the temperature reaches the absolute zero. That is the reason why the object can still be seen when it is at absolute zero.</span>

In an RC circuit, what fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The fraction fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for 3.0 time constants is

$k = 0.903$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The time constant $\tau = 3$

The potential across the capacitor can be mathematically represented as

$V = V_o (1 - e^{- \tau})$

Where $V_o$ is the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged

So at $\tau = 3$

$V = V_o (1 - e^{- 3})$

$V = 0.950213 V_o$

Generally energy stored in a capacitor is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{1}{2 } * C * V ^2$

In this equation the energy stored is directly proportional to the the square of the potential across the capacitor

Now since capacitance is constant at $\tau = 3$

The energy stored can be evaluated at as

$V^2 = (0.950213 V_o )^2$

$V^2 = 0.903 V_o ^2$

Hence the fraction of the energy stored in an initially uncharged capacitor is

$k = 0.903$

Crystal can ride her bike 10 miles in 2.1 hours. What is her velocity

masha68 [24]

Answer:

v = 4.76 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The distance traveled by her bike, d = 10 miles

The time of her travel, t = 2.1 m/s

The velocity of an object is defined as the distance traveled by the object to the time of travel. Therefore,

V = d/t m/s

= 10 / 2.1

= 4.76 m/s

Hence, The velocity of her bike is, V = 4.76 m/s
