A. 3 sigfigs
b. 5 sigfigs
c. 2 sigfigs

* ending zeros do not count as significant figures (no matter if they are behind a decimal point or not. ex: 40 has 1 sigfig.)

* but zeros between digits always count!

Distance is the length of a path followed by a particle. The displacement of a particle is defined as its change in position in
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Distance is described with only magnitude. It is defined as the total path covered by an object, in other words it  is the length of a path followed by a particle.

Displacement is described with both magnitude and direction. It is distance traveled in a specified direction or  change in position in some time interval.

Therefore, the correct option is " a. True"

A capacitor with an initial potential difference of 185 V is discharged through a resistor when a switch between them is closed
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

  • a. \tau =  2.1161 s
  • b. V(18.8 \ s) = 0.0256 \ V

Explanation:

<h3>a.</h3>

The equation for the voltage V of  discharging capacitor in an RC circuit at time t is:

V(t) = V_0 e^{(- \frac{t}{\tau}) }

where V_0 is the initial voltage, and \tau is the time constant.

For our problem, we know

V_0 = 185 \ V

and

V(10 \ s) = V_0 e^{(- \frac{10 \ s}{\tau}) } = 1.64 \ V

So

185 \ V \ e^{(- \frac{10 \ s}{\tau}) } = 1.64 \ V

e^{(- \frac{10 \ s}{\tau}) } = \frac{1.64 \ V}{ 185 \ V }

ln (e^{(- \frac{10 \ s}{\tau}) } ) = ln (\frac{1.64 \ V}{ 185 \ V })

- \frac{10 \ s}{\tau}  = ln (\frac{1.64 \ V}{ 185 \ V })

\tau =  \frac{-10 \s}{ln (\frac{1.64 \ V}{ 185 \ V }) }

This gives us

\tau =  2.1161 s

and this is the time constant.

<h3>b.</h3>

At t = 18.8 s we got:

V(18.8 \ s) = 185 \ V  \ e^{(- \frac{18.8 \ s}{2.1161 s}) }

V(18.8 \ s) = 185 \ V \ e^{(- \frac{18.8 \ s}{2.1161 s}) }

V(18.8 \ s) = 0.0256 \ V
