Answer:

Absence of light causes shadow

Explanation:

The shadow is of the black colour because it is formed by the white light from the sun. Black is the opposite colour of white. In case you use different colour of light to cast a shadow you will get a shadow of opposite colour of light used to cast shadow.

Find the time t2 that it would take the charge of the capacitor to reach 99.99% of its maximum value given that r=12.0ω and c=50
defon

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

R = 12 ohms

C = 500μf.

Time t =? When the charge reaches 99.99% of maximum

The charge on a RC circuit is given as

A discharging circuit

Q = Qo•exp(-t/RC)

Where RC is the time constant

τ = RC = 12 × 500 ×10^-6

τ = 0.006 sec

The maximum charge is Qo,

Therefore Q = 99.99% of Qo

Then, Q = 99.99/100 × Qo

Q = 0.9999Qo

So, substituting this into the equation above

Q = Qo•exp(-t/RC)

0.9999Qo = Qo•exp(-t / 0.006)

Divide both side by Qo

0.9999 = exp(-t / 0.006)

Take In of both sodes

In(0.9999) = In(exp(-t / 0.006))

-1 × 10^-4 = -t / 0.006

t = -1 × 10^-4 × - 0.006

t = 6 × 10^-7 second

So it will take 6 × 10^-7 a for charge to reached 99.99% of it's maximum charge

What is the weight of an object on Earth with a mass of 90.0kg?
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Weight (Force) = mass x acceleration due to gravity Weight = 90.0 kg x 9.80 m/s2 Weight = 882 N or 882 kg m/s2 Page 2 Newton's Notes 2 Gravity has an effect on an object in the vertical direction only.

Two cars collide inelastically and stick together after the collision. Before the collision, the magnitudes of their momenta are
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is

p = p₁ + p₂

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that force = the change of momentum produced therefore since the collision is inelstic then the change of momentum of each car is p₁ and  p₂ and the force of the collition is proportional to p₁ + p₂ that is

F ∝ p₁ + p₂ and since force is directly proportional to p we have

p = p₁ + p₂
