The crate only moves horizontally, so its net vertical force is 0. The only forces acting in the vertical direction are the crate's weight (pointing downward) and the normal force of the surface on the crate (pointing upward). By Newton's second law, we have

∑ <em>F</em> (vertical) = <em>n</em> - <em>mg</em> = 0   →   <em>n</em> = <em>mg</em> = 1876 N

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force.

In the horizontal direction, the crate is moving at a constant speed and thus with no acceleration, so it's completely in equilibrium and the net horizontal force is also 0. The only forces acting on it in this direction are the 747 N push (pointing in the direction of the crate's motion) and the kinetic friction opposing it (pointing in the opposite direction). By Newton's second law,

∑ <em>F</em> (horizontal) = 747 N - <em>f</em> = 0   →   <em>f</em> = 747 N

The frictional force is proportional to the normal force by a factor of the coefficient of kinetic friction, <em>µ</em>, such that

<em>f</em> = <em>µn</em>   →   <em>µ</em> = <em>f</em> / <em>n</em> = (747 N) / (1876 N) ≈ 0.398188 ≈ 0.40

(i) The total capacitance for the circuit is 5 μF.

(ii) The total charge stored in the circuit is 1 x 10⁻⁴ C.

(iii) The charge stored in 3μF capacitor is  6 x 10⁻⁶ C.

<h3>Total capacitance of the circuit</h3>

The total capacitance of the circuit is determined by reolving the series capacitors separate and parallel capacitors separate as well.

<h3>C1 and C2 are in series </h3>

\frac{1}{C_{12}} = \frac{1}{C_1 } + \frac{1}{C_2} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{12}} = \frac{1}{4 } + \frac{1}{4} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{12}} = \frac{1}{2} \\\\C_{12} = 2 \ \mu F

<h3>C1 and C2 are parallel to C3</h3>

C_{123} = C_{12} + C_3\\\\C_{123} = 2\ \mu F + 2\ \mu F \\\\C_{123} = 4 \ \mu F

<h3>C(123) is series to C5 and C6</h3>

\frac{1}{C_{t} } = \frac{1}{C_{123}} + \frac{1}{C_5} + \frac{1}{C_6} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{t} } = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{t} } = \frac{12}{24} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{t} } = \frac{1}{2} \\\\C_t = 2 \ \mu F

<h3>C7 and C8 are in series</h3>

\frac{1}{C_{78}} = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{78}} = \frac{2}{6} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{78}} =\frac{1}{3} \\\\C_{78} = 3 \ \mu F

<h3>Total capaciatnce of the circuit</h3>

Ct + C(78) = 2 μF + 3 μF = 5 μF

<h3 /><h3>Total charge stored in the circuit</h3>

The total charge stored in the capacitor is calculated as follows;

Q = CV

Q = (5 x 10⁻⁶) x (20)

Q = 1 x 10⁻⁴ C

<h3>Charge stored in 3μF capacitor</h3>

Q =  (3 x 10⁻⁶) x (20)

Q = 6 x 10⁻⁶ C

A train travels 70 kilometers in 1 hours, and then 63 kilometers in 2 hours. What is its average speed?
lozanna [386]
The answer is:  " 44 \frac{1}{3} km " ; 
                              or; write as:  " 44.333 km " .
___________________________________________________________
Explanation:
___________________________________________________________
(70 km + 63 km) ÷ (2 + 1 ) =  133 km ÷ 3 =  " 44 \frac{1}{3} km "  ; 
                                                                            or; write as:  " 44.333 km " .

Find electric field at point p which is a distance l away from the both +q and -q
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{q}{I^{2} }+\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{-q}{I^{2} }

Explanation:

As given point p is equidistant from both the charges

It must be in the middle of both the charges

Assuming all 3 points lie on the same line

Electric Field due a charge q at a point ,distance r away

=\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{q}{r^{2} }

Where

  • q is the charge
  • r is the distance
  • E is the permittivity of medium

Let electric field due to charge q be F1 and -q be F2

I is the distance of P from q and also from charge -q

⇒

F1=\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{q}{I^{2} }

F2=\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{-q}{I^{2} }

⇒

F1+F2=\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{q}{I^{2} }+\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{-q}{I^{2} }
