Answer:

the time taken t is 9.25 minutes

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The initial charge on the supercapacitor = 2.1 × 10³ mV = 2.1 V

now, every minute, the charge lost is 9.9 %  

so we need to find the time for which the charge drops below 800 mV or 0.8 V

to get the time, we can use the formula for compound interest in basic mathematics;

A = P × ( (1 - r/100 )ⁿ

where A IS 0.8, P is 2.1, r is 9.9

so we substitute

0.8 = 2.1 × ( 1 - 0.099 )ⁿ

0.8/2.1 = 0.901ⁿ

0.901ⁿ = 0.381

n = 9.25 minutes

Therefore, the time taken t is 9.25 minutes

How does the sun rise and set
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

c. earth rotates on it tilted axis and orbit around the sun at the same time​

Explanation:

Earth rotation can be defined as the amount of time taken by planet earth to complete its spinning movement on its axis.

This ultimately implies that, the rotation of earth refers to the time taken by earth to rotate once on its axis. One spinning movement of the earth on its axis takes approximately 24 hours to complete with respect to the sun. Thus, this makes us to experience day and night (sun rise and sun set) due to the rotation of planet about its axis.

Hence, the sun rise and set because the earth rotates on it tilted axis and orbit around the sun at the same time​

When parts of your body functions as lever systems, what part supplies the force?
mylen [45]
Muscles supply the force.  They exert force by getting shorter (contracting).
A muscle can't get longer by itself.  There needs to be another muscle
pulling in the opposite direction.

Una bola de acero rueda y cae por el borde de una mesa desde 4ft por encima del piso. Si golpea el suelo a 5ft de la base de la
ycow [4]

Answer:

     \large\boxed{\large\boxed{10ft/s}}

Explanation:

The question, translated, is:

  • <em>A steel ball rolls and falls off the edge of a table from 4ft above the floor. If you hit the ground 5ft from the base of the table, what was your initial horizontal velocity?</em>

<em />

<h2>Solution</h2>

<em />

This is a projectile motion, for which, the equations that you will need are:

    V_x_0= V_x=x\cdot t

     y=y_0+Vy_o\cdot t-g\cdot t^2/2

<u />

<u>1. Calculate the time that it takes the ball to fall 4ft</u>

    0=4ft-g\cdot t^2/2\\\\t^2=2\times 4ft/( 32.174ft/s^2)=0.24865s^2\\\\t=0.4986s

<u />

<u>2. Calculate the horizontal velocity:</u>

     V_x_0= V_x=x\cdot t\\\\V_x_0=5ft/0.4986s=10.027ft/s\approx 10ft/s
