Answer:

0.23 s

Explanation:

First of all, let's find the time constant of the circuit:

\tau=RC

where

R=50,000 \Omega is the resistance

C=2.0\mu F=2.0\cdot 10^{-6}F is the capacitance

Substituting,

\tau=(50,000 \Omega)(2.0\cdot 10^{-6}F)=0.1 s

The charge on a charging capacitor is given by

Q(t)=Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau} ) (1)

where

Q_0 is the full charge

we want to find the time t at which the capacitor reaches 90% of the full charge, so the time t at which

Q(t)=0.90 Q_0

Substituting this into eq.(1) we find

0.90 Q_0 = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})\\0.90=1-e^{-t/\tau}\\e^{-t/\tau}=1-0.90=0.10\\-\frac{t}{\tau}=ln(0.10)\\t=-\tau ln(0.10)=(0.1 s)ln(0.10)=0.23 s

A football player runs down a field with a speed of 8 m/s. How long will it take him to run 20m?
Shtirlitz [24]
To find the answer for this question, you simply need to divide 20 by 8, which is the speed he is traveling. 

20 / 8 = 2.5

The football player will run 20 yards in 2 1/2 seconds.
Hope that helped! =)

There is a moon orbiting an Earth-like planet. The mass of the moon is 9.58 × 1022 kg, the center-to-center separation of the pl
kaheart [24]

Answer:

= 4.38 × 10³⁴kgm²/s

Explanation:

Given that,

mass of moon m = 9.5 × 10²²kg

Orbital radius r = 4.28  × 10⁵km

Orbital period  T = 28.9days

T = 28.9  × 24 × 60 × 60

   = 2,496,960s

Angular momentum of the moon about the planet

L = mvr

L = mr²w

L = mr^2\frac{2\pi }{T} \\\\L = \frac{9.5 \times 10^2^2 \times(4.28\times10^8)^2\times2\times3.14}{2496960} \\\\L = 4.389.5 \times 10^3^4kgm^2/s

topjm [15]

Answer:

1.66 m/s

Explanation:

Work or kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

4864=\frac{1}{2} (3540)v^{2}

v = 1.66 m/s
