Answer:

3.8 x 10⁴ Ω

Explanation:

C = Capacitance = 165 μF

R = resistance of the filament = ?

t = time taken to charge the capacitor = 10 s

Q₀ = maximum charge stored by capacitor

Q = charge stored by capacitor at time "t" = 0.80 Q₀

T = Time constant

Charge stored by capacitor at any time is given as

Q = Q_{o}(1 - e^{\frac{-t}{T}})

0.80 Q_{o} = Q_{o}(1 - e^{\frac{-10}{T}})

T = 6.21 s

Time constant is given as

T = RC

6.21 = R (165 x 10⁻⁶)

R = 3.8 x 10⁴ Ω

What is the meaning of technology
slamgirl [31]
The exact definition of technology is: The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry.

The way I would put it is that technology isn’t just electronics, smartphones, and flying cars. Technology is information that people reveal and figure out and this is why it advances. You hear all the time the “advances in technology” and it’s a term that has grown rapidly. It helps businesses to progress, it’s taught people, it’s in some ways beneficial to people’s lives. It has many meanings and really that is technology simply put.

How does gravity and density affect weight
frozen [14]
<span> </span>

Gravity affects weight because gravity creates weight. Objects have mass, which is defined as how much matter an object contains. Weight is defined as the pull of gravity on mass.

<span> The relation between weight and gravitational pull is such that, when on another celestial body, the difference in gravity would alter a person's weight. The Earth's moon, for example, has a gravitational field that is 0.165 times the pull on earth. A person who weighs 170 pounds on Earth would only weigh 28.05 pounds on the moon. This is why during the moon landing videos, people on earth viewed the astronauts taking large, bounding steps. With very little weight, it was easy for them to push off the ground.</span>
