Does the charge that flows into the capacitor during the charging go all the way through the capacitor and back to the battery,

snow_lady [41]

The capacitor is used to store electric charge.That is what makes capacitors special. 
The charge that flows into the capacitor is stored on the plate of the capacitor that the source voltage is connected to. When current flows into a capacitor, the charges get “stuck” on the plates because they can’t get past the insulating dielectric. One plate is positively charged and the other negatively The stationary charges on these plates create an electric field. When charges group together on a capacitor like this, the cap is storing electric energy just as a battery might store chemical energy.

The flywheel is rotating with an angular velocity ω0 = 2.37 rad/s at time t = 0 when a torque is applied to increase its angular

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

ω = 12.023 rad/s

α = 222.61 rad/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

ω0 = 2.37 rad/s, t = 0 sec

ω =?, t = 0.22 sec

α =?

θ = 57°

From formulas,

Tangential acceleration; a_t = rα

Normal acceleration; a_n = rω²

tan θ = a_t/a_n

Thus; tan θ = rα/rω² = α/ω²

tan θ = α/ω²

α = ω²tan θ

Now, α = dω/dt

So; dω/dt = ω²tan θ

Rearranging, we have;

dω/ω² = dt × tan θ

Integrating both sides, we have;

(ω, ω0)∫dω/ω² = (t, 0)∫dt × tan θ

This gives;

-1[(1/ω_o) - (1/ω)] = t(tan θ)

Thus;

ω = ω_o/(1 - (ω_o × t × tan θ))

While;

α = dω/dt = ((ω_o)²×tan θ)/(1 - (ω_o × t × tan θ))²

Thus, plugging in the relevant values;

ω = 2.37/(1 - (2.37 × 0.22 × tan 57))

ω = 12.023 rad/s

Also;

α = (2.37² × tan 57)/(1 - (2.37 × 0.22 × tan 57))²

α = 8.64926751525/0.03885408979 = 222.61 rad/s²

A flywheel turns through 40 rev as it slows from an angular speed of 1.5 rad/s to a stop.

Lynna [10]

Answer:

-0.0047 rad/s²

335.103 seconds

99.18 seconds

Explanation:

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 1.5 ra/s

$\alpha$ = Angular acceleration

$\theta$ = Angle of rotation = 40 rev

t = Time taken

Equation of rotational motion

$\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\frac{0^2-1.5^2}{2\times 2\pi \times 40}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-0.0047\ rad/s^2$

Acceleration while slowing down is -0.0047 rad/s²

$t=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\alpha}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-1.5}{-0.0047}\\\Rightarrow t=335.103\ s$

Time taken to slow down is 335.103 seconds

$\theta=\omega_it+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2\\\Rightarrow 20\times 2\pi=1.5\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times -0.0047\times t^2\\\Rightarrow 0.00235t^2-1.5t+125.66=0$

Solving the equation

$t=\frac{-\left(-1.5\right)+\sqrt{\left(-1.5\right)^2-4\cdot \:0.00235\cdot \:125.66}}{2\cdot \:0.00235}, \frac{-\left(-1.5\right)-\sqrt{\left(-1.5\right)^2-4\cdot \:0.00235\cdot \:125.66}}{2\cdot \:0.00235}\\\Rightarrow t=539.11, 99.18\ s$

The time required for it to complete the first 20 is 99.18 seconds as 539.11>335.103
