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

Kenneth ran a marathon (26.2 miles) in 5.5 hours. What was Kenneth's average speed? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.) 0.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

4.8 mph

Explanation:

From the question,

Average speed = total distance/total time

V = d/t....................... Equation 1

Where d = distance, t = time

Given: d = 26.2 miles, t = 5.5 hours.

Substitute these values into equation 1

V = 26.2/5.5

V = 4.76 mph

V ≈ 4.8 mph

When humans look at the sky, it appears blue, but the Sun appears yellow. What causes this phenomenon?
otez555 [7]

Light behaves like a wave, and the different colors we perceive are the result of light hitting our eyes at different <em>wavelengths</em>. The air molecules in our atmosphere scatter this visible light, with a "preference" towards light of shorter wavelengths -- blue and violet light. Light of longer wavelengths (green, yellow, orange, red), doesn't pass through to us as visibly until later in the day, when the sun's light has more atmosphere to pass through before it reaches our eyes. The blue light becomes so scattered by the air molecules in its way at this point that we're finally able to see those yellows and reds coming through on our end.

if the earth were to cease rotating about its axis,then what is the increase in the value of gravity?
IrinaK [193]
There is no adjustment in gravity, yet there is an adjustment in 'weightness'. 
Gravitational compel and weight with respect to an edge are not similar things, despite the fact that it is normally educated something else. 
Weight is really the aggregate of gravitational powers and of inertial drive for a question very still (no Coriolis compel) in a given casing. 
In the event that the Earth were not pivoting, weight would increment most at the Equator and be unaltered at the Poles.
