Answer:

0.192 C

Explanation:

The charge in a capacitor is given as,

Q = CtVt..................... Equation 1

Where Q = Charge, Ct = Effective Capacitance of the capacitors, Vt = Effective Voltage.

Note: If the capacitors are connected to each other with the positive plate of each connected to the negative plate of the other means that the capacitors are connected in series

The combined capacitor in series is given as,

1/Ct = 1/C1 + 1/C2

Where C1 = Capacitance of the first capacitor, C2 = Capacitance of the second capacitor.

Ct = C1C2/(C1+C2)...................... Equation 2

Given: C1 = 4.0 mF, C2 = 6.0 mF

Substitute into equation 2

Ct = (4×6)/(4+6)

Ct = 24/10

Ct = 2.4 mF.

Also,

Vt = V1 + V2................... Equation 4

Where V1 = Voltage in the first capacitor, V2 = Voltage in the second capacitor.

Given: V1 = 50 V, V2 = 30 V

Vt = 50+30

Vt = 80 V.

Substitute the value of Vt and Ct into equation 1

Q = 80(2.4)

Q = 192 mC

Q = 0.192 C.

Since both capacitors are in series, The same quantity of charge flows through them.

Hence the final charge on the 6.0 mF capacitor = 0.192 C

Answer:

<em>The final charge on the 6.0 mF capacitor would be 12 mC</em>

Explanation:

The initial charge on 4 mF capacitor = 4 mf x 50 V = 200 mC

The initial Charge on 6 mF capacitor = 6 mf x 30 V =180 mC

Since the negative ends are joined together the total charge on both capacity would be;

q = $q_{1} -q_{2}$

q = 200 - 180

q = 20 mC

In order to find the final charge on the 6.0 mF capacitor we have to find the combined voltage

q = (4 x V) + (6 x V)

20 = 10 V

V = 2 V

For the final charge on 6.0 mF;

q = CV

q = 6.0 mF x 2 V

q = 12 mC

Therefore the final charge on the 6.0 mF capacitor would be 12 mC

The answer is B. I don’t think I need to explain this,
Mean is average, Mode is the most common number, and Median is the middle number when you put the numbers is numerical order from least to greatest

A baseball player exerts a force of 100 N on a ball for a distance of 0.5 mas he throws it. If the ball has a mass of 0.15 kg, w

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

25.82 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Force exerted by baseball player; F = 100 N

Distance covered by ball; d = 0.5 m

Mass of ball; m = 0.15 kg

Now, to get the velocity at which the ball leaves his hand, we will equate the work done to the kinetic energy.

We should note that work done is a measure of the energy exerted by the baseball player.

Thus;

F × d = ½mv²

100 × 0.5 = ½ × 0.15 × v²

v² = (2 × 100 × 0.5)/0.15

v² = 666.67

v = √666.67

v = 25.82 m/s

One end of a string is fixed. An object attached to the other end moves on a horizontal plane with uniform circular motion of ra

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension is increased 8 times.

Explanation:

The radial acceleration ( $a_{r}$ ), measured in meters per square second, experimented by the moving end of the string is determined by the following kinematic formula:

$a_{r} = 4\pi^{2}\cdot f^{2}\cdot R$ (1)

Where:

$f$ - Frequency, measured in hertz.

$R$ - Radius of rotation, measured in meters.

From Second Newton's Law, the centripetal acceleration is due to the existence of tension ( $T$ ), measured in newtons, through the string, then we derive the following model:

$\Sigma F = T = m\cdot a_{r}$ (2)

Where $m$ is the mass of the object, measured in kilograms.

By applying (1) in (2), we have the following formula:

$T = 4\pi^{2}\cdot m\cdot f^{2}\cdot R$ (3)

From where we conclude that tension is directly proportional to the radius and the square of frequency. Then, if radius and frequency are doubled, then the ratio between tensions is:

$\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = \left(\frac{f_{2}}{f_{1}} \right)^{2}\cdot \left(\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}} \right)$ (4)

$\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = 4\cdot 2$

$\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}} = 8$

If both the radius and frequency are doubled, then the tension is increased 8 times.

A uniform 1.4-kg rod that is 0.75 m long is suspended at rest from the ceiling by two springs, one at each end of the rod. Both

svetlana [45]

Answer:

7 deg

Explanation:

$m$ = mass of the rod = $1.4 kg$

$W$ = weight of the rod = $mg = (1.4) (9.8) = 13.72 N$

$k_{L}$ = spring constant for left spring = $59 Nm^{-1}$

$k_{R}$ = spring constant for right spring = $33 Nm^{-1}$

$x_{L}$ = stretch in the left spring

$x_{R}$ = stretch in the right spring

$L$ = length of the rod = 0.75 m

$\theta$ = Angle the rod makes with the horizontal

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction for left spring

$k_{L} x_{L} = (0.5) W\\(59) x_{L} = (0.5) (13.72)\\x_{L} = 0.116 m$

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction for right spring

$k_{R} x_{R} = (0.5) W\\(33) x_{R} = (0.5) (13.72)\\x_{R} = 0.208 m$

Angle made with the horizontal is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{(x_{R} - x_{L})}{L} )\\\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{(0.208 - 0.116)}{0.75} )\\\theta = 7 deg$
