Answer:

The maximum energy stored in the combination is 0.0466Joules

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Three capacitors C1-11.7 μF, C2 21.0 μF, and C3 = 28.8 μF are connected in series. To avoid breakdown of the capacitors, the maximum potential difference to which any of them can be individually charged is 125 V. Determine the maximum energy stored in the series combination.

Energy stored in a capacitor is expressed as E = 1/2CtV² where

Ct is the total effective capacitance

V is the supply voltage

Since the capacitors are connected in series.

1/Ct = 1/C1+1/C2+1/C3

Given C1 = 11.7 μF, C2 = 21.0 μF, and C3 = 28.8 μF

1/Ct = 1/11.7 + 1/21.0 + 1/28.8

1/Ct = 0.0855+0.0476+0.0347

1/Ct = 0.1678

Ct = 1/0.1678

Ct = 5.96μF

Ct = 5.96×10^-6F

Since V = 125V

E = 1/2(5.96×10^-6)(125)²

E = 0.0466Joules

Which statement about van der Waals forces is true?
kobusy [5.1K]
The answer is A. When the forces are weaker, they will not be able to hold the particles of the substances together; therefore, the substance will be observed as being volatile.

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Because they would naturally dye the test strips in the colors violet and red, regardless of their pH values

An automobile engineer found that the impact of a truck colliding at 14 km/h with a concrete pillar caused the bumper to indent
BlackZzzverrR [31]
Hello
Here we must use the equation of motion 
v^2 = u^2 + 2as; where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is the acceleratoin and is the distance travelled.
We select this one because the time of collision is unknown to us.
We know the truck stopped so its final velocity is 0; thus v = 0.
Converting the initial velocity to SI units, we get 3.89 m/s.
The distance traveled, s, is 0.062 meters.
Inserting all of these values into the equation,
0 = (3.89)^2 + 2(a)(0.062)
and solving for a, we get a to be
-122.0 ms^(-2)
The negative sign indicates the acceleration is in the opposite direction to the initial motion, which means the truck decelerated. This is consistent with the given condition.

Dams are made wider at the bottom than at the top?
malfutka [58]
Yes dams are made wider at the bottom because the pressure of the water pressure is greater there

What object or class of objects makes up most of the solar system’s mass?
Vladimir [108]
Solar system is the gravitationally bound system that consists of the sun and the objects that orbit around it directly or indirectly. These objects includes the planets which orbit the sun directly an other small objects such as meteoroids, asteroids, satellites of the planets and numerous comets. The sun makes up most of the solar system' mass.
