Answer:

1. Voltage across 600 pF is 10 V.

2. Voltage across 300 pF is 20 V.

3. Voltage across 200 pF is 30 V.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the total capacitance of capacitor. This can be obtained as follow:

Capicitance 1 (C₁) = 600 pF

Capicitance 2 (C₂) = 300 pF

Capicitance 3 (C₃) = 200 pF

Total capacitance (Cₜ) =?

1/Cₜ = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ + 1/C₃

1/Cₜ = 1/600 + 1/300 + 1/200

1/Cₜ = 1 + 2 + 3 / 600

1/Cₜ = 6/600

1/Cₜ = 1/100

Cₜ = 100 pF

Next, we shall convert 100 pF to Farad (F). This can be obtained as follow:

1 pF = 1×10¯¹² F

Therefore,

100 pF = 100 pF × 1×10¯¹² F / 1 pF

100 pF = 1×10¯¹⁰ F

Thus, 100 pF is equivalent to 1×10¯¹⁰ F.

Next, we shall determine the charge. This can be obtained as follow:

Voltage (V) = 60 V

Capicitance (C) = 1×10¯¹⁰ F

Charge (Q) =?

Q = CV

Q = 60 × 1×10¯¹⁰ F

Q = 6×10¯⁹ C

1. Determination of the voltage across 600 pF.

Capicitance 1 (C₁) = 600 pF = 6×10¯¹⁰ F

Charge (Q) = 6×10¯⁹ C

Voltage 1 (V₁) =?

Q = C₁V₁

6×10¯⁹ = 6×10¯¹⁰ × V₁

Divide both side by 6×10¯¹⁰

V₁ = 6×10¯⁹ / 6×10¯¹⁰

V₁ = 10 V

2. Determination of the voltage across 300 pF.

Capicitance 2 (C₂) = 300 pF = 3×10¯¹⁰ F

Charge (Q) = 6×10¯⁹ C

Voltage 2 (V₂) =?

Q = C₂V₂

6×10¯⁹ = 3×10¯¹⁰ × V₂

Divide both side by 3×10¯¹⁰

V₂ = 6×10¯⁹ / 3×10¯¹⁰

V₂ = 20 V

3. Determination of the voltage across 200 pF.

Capicitance 3 (C₃) = 200 pF = 2×10¯¹⁰ F

Charge (Q) = 6×10¯⁹ C

Voltage 3 (V₃) =?

Q = C₃V₃

6×10¯⁹ = 2×10¯¹⁰ × V₃

Divide both side by 2×10¯¹⁰

V₃ = 6×10¯⁹ / 2×10¯¹⁰

V₃ = 30 V

What is an effect of an object getting wet?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

once light hits a wet shirt, that water layer causes less of the blue shirt's blue wavelengths of light to be reflected toward your eyes and more of the blue light to be refracted, or bounce away from you, back into the fabric.

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

I got everything but i. Don't know why but it's eluding me. So let's do everything but that.

a. PE = mgh so

   PE = (2.5)(98)(14) and

   PE = 340 J

b. KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 so

   KE=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)(14)^2 and

   KE = 250 J

c. TE = KE + PE so

   TE = 340 + 250 and

   TE = 590 J

d. PE at 8.7 m:

   PE = (2.5)(9.8)(8.7) and

   PE = 210 J

e. The KE at the same height:

   TE = KE + PE and

   590 = KE + 210 so

   KE = 380 J

f. The velocity at that height:

   380=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)v^2 and

   v=\sqrt{\frac{2(380)}{2.5} } so

   v = 17 m/s

g. The velocity at a height of 11.6 m (these get a bit more involed as we move forward!). First we need to find the PE at that height and then use it in the TE equation to solve for KE, then use the value for KE in the KE equation to solve for velocity:

   590 = KE + PE and

   PE = (2.5)(9.8)(11.6) so

   PE = 280 then

   590 = KE + 280 so

   KE = 310 then

   310=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)v^2 and

   v=\sqrt{\frac{2(310)}{2.5} } so

   v = 16 m/s

h. This one is a one-dimensional problem not using the TE. This one uses parabolic motion equations. We know that the initial velocity of this object was 0 since it started from the launcher. That allows us to find the time at which the object was at a velocity of 26 m/s. Let's do that first:

   v=v_0+at and

   26 = 0 + 9.8t and

   26 = 9.8t so the time at 26 m/s is

   t = 2.7 seconds. Now we use that in the equation for displacement:

   Δx = v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2 and filling in the time the object was at 26 m/s:

   Δx = 0t + \frac{1}{2}(-9.8)2.7)^2 so

   Δx = 36 m

i. ??? In order to find the velocity at which the object hits the ground we would need to know the initial height so we could find the time it takes to hit the ground, and then from there, sub all that in to find final velocity. In my estimations, we have 2 unknowns and I can't seem to see my way around that connundrum.
