Answer:

Part A - 4.084 mJ

Part B - 0.908 mJ

Part C - 8.168 mJ

Explanation:

Part A: How much energy is stored in the capacitor network as shown in (Figure 1)?

Since capacitors C₂ and C₃ are in series, their equivalent capacitance is C',

1/C' = 1/C₂ + 1/C₃      (Since C₁ = C₂ = C₃ = C)

1/C' = 1/C + 1/C

1/C' = 2/C

C' = C/2

Since C' is in parallel with C₁, the equivalent capacitance for the circuit is C" = C₁ + C' = C + C/2 = 3C/2

C" = 3C/2

The energy stored in the circuit, W = 1/2C"V² where C" = equivalent capacitance = 3C/2 and V = voltage = 15.0 V

W = 1/2C"V²

W = 1/2(3C/2)V²

W = 3CV²/4

since C = 24.2 μF = 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F

W = 3CV²/4

W = 3 × 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F (15.0 V)²/4

W = 3 × 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F × 225 V²/4

W = 16335/4 × 10⁻⁶ FV²

W = 4083.75 × 10⁻⁶ J

W = 4.08375 × 10⁻³ J

W = 4.08375 mJ

W ≅ 4.084 mJ

Part B: How much energy would be stored in the capacitor network if the capacitors were all in series?

If the capacitors are connected in series, their equivalent resistance is C'

and 1/C' = 1/C₁ + 1/C₂ + 1/C₃

Since C₁ = C₂ = C₃ = C

1/C' = 1/C + 1/C + 1/C

1/C' = 3/C

C' = C/3

The energy stored in the circuit, W = 1/2C'V² where C' = equivalent capacitance = C/3 and V = voltage = 15.0 V

W = 1/2C'V²

W = 1/2(C/3)V²

W = CV²/6

since C = 24.2 μF = 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F

W = CV²/6

W = 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F (15.0 V)²/6

W = 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F × 225 V²/6

W = 5445/6 × 10⁻⁶ FV²

W = 907.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

W = 0.9075 × 10⁻³ J

W = 0.9075 mJ

W ≅ 0.908 mJ

Part C: How much energy would be stored in the capacitor network if the capacitors were all in parallel?

If the capacitors are connected in parallel, their equivalent resistance is C'

and C' = C₁ + C₂ + C₃

Since C₁ = C₂ = C₃ = C

C' = C + C + C

C' = 3C

The energy stored in the capacitor network, W = 1/2C'V² where C' = equivalent capacitance = 3C and V = voltage = 15.0 V

W = 1/2C'V²

W = 1/2(3C)V²

W = 3CV²/2

since C = 24.2 μF = 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F

W = 3CV²/2

W = 3 × 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F (15.0 V)²/2

W = 3 × 24.2 × 10⁻⁶ F × 225 V²/2

W = 16335/2 × 10⁻⁶ FV²

W = 8167.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

W = 8.1675 × 10⁻³ J

W = 8.1675 mJ

W ≅ 8.168 mJ

pochemuha

Answer:

If using radians: 16.2

If using degrees: 12.8

Don't forget your units

Explanation:

I assume that x represents the velocity?

If so, then just substitute the value t and solve

All of the following activities produce quantitative data exept
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The answer to your question are A and C

Explanation:

Quantitative data are quantities, something that we get after measuring something.

A. Measuring the rate of gas production from a chemical.  This example is a quantitative measure, because we are measuring the rate.

B. Describing the clarity of water in a sample  If we are describing something, means that we are not measuring anything, so this is not a quantitative measure.

C. Calculating the energy released from an electrochemical reaction If we are not measuring but we are using the data somebody else got to calculate energy, them this is a quantitative data.
