Answer:

A) q_o = 0.001 C

B) I = 0.001•e^(-t)

C) V_c = 1000e^(-t)

D) V_r = 1000e^(-t)

E) P = e^(-2t) watts

Explanation:

A) We are given;

Initial stored energy; U_o = 0.5 J

Capacitance; C = 1.0μF = 1 × 10^(-6) F

To find the charge, we will use the formula for energy in capacitors which is given by;

U = q²/2C

Thus, since we are dealing with initial energy, U is U_o and q is q_o

Making q the subject, we have;

q_o = √2CU_o

q_o = √(2 × 1 × 10^(-6) × 0.5)

q_o = 0.001 C

B) The charge as a function of time is expressed as;

q = q_o•e^(-t/RC)

Now the current is gotten by differentiating the charge function. Thus;

I = (q_o/RC)•e^(-t/RC)

Where;

R is Resistance = 1.0MΩ = 1 × 10^(6) Ω

C is capacitance = 1 × 10^(-6) F

(q_o/RC) is the initial current = 0.001/(1 × 10^(6) × 1 × 10^(-6))

(q_o/RC) = 0.001 A

Thus;

I = 0.001•e^(-t/(1 × 10^(6) × 1 × 10^(-6)))

I = 0.001•e^(-t)

C) Formula for potential difference across the capacitor is;

V_c = IR

I = 0.001•e^(-t)

R = 1 × 10^(6) Ω

Thus;

V_c = 1 × 10^(6) × 0.001•e^(-t)

V_c = 1000e^(-t)

D) Potential difference across the resistor will be the same as that across the capacitor because the resistor is connected in parallel to the capacitor.

Thus;

V_r = V_c = 1000e^(-t)

E) rate at which thermal energy is produced is basically the power.

Thus;

P = (V_r)²/R

P = (1000²e^(-2t))/1 × 10^(6)

P = e^(-2t) watts

In an electric vehicle, each wheel is powered by its own motor. The vehicle weight is 4,000 lbs. By regenerative braking, its sp
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh

Explanation:

Given that;

weight of vehicle = 4000 lbs

we know that 1 kg = 2.20462

so

m = 4000 / 2.20462 =  1814.37 kg

Initial velocity V_{i} = 60 mph = 26.8224 m/s

Final velocity V_{f} = 30 mph = 13.4112 m/s

now we determine change in kinetic energy

Δk = \frac{1}{2}m(  V_{i}² - V_{f}² )

we substitute

Δk = \frac{1}{2}×1814.37( (26.8224)² - (13.4112)² )

Δk = \frac{1}{2} × 1814.37 × 539.5808

Δk = 489500 Joules

we know that; 1 kilowatt hour = 3.6 × 10⁶ Joule

so

Δk = 489500 / 3.6 × 10⁶

Δk = 0.13597 ≈ 0.136 kWh

Therefore, the theoretical maximum energy in kWh that can be recovered during this interval is 0.136 kWh

By considering action-reacton forces,identify why water rises up a thin capillary tube
netineya [11]

The forces of attraction between water molecules and the glass walls and within the molecules of water themselves are what enable the water to rise in a thin tube immersed in water.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is defined as the push or pulls applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body.

Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Its unit is Newton.

Surface or interfacial forces lead to capillarity. The forces of attraction between the water molecules and the glass walls and among the water molecules themselves are what causes the water in a thin tube submerged in water to rise.

Hence, the water rises up a thin capillary tube can be explained by Newton's third law.

To learn more about the force refer to the link;
