Answer:

I = 0.667 A

Explanation:

A capacitor behaves like a short circuit at t = 0 immediately after the switch is closed, therefore we can discard it from the equation, the resistance is given in watts or power units equivalent to current by voltage and the ammeter behave like a short circuit by nature.

Considering all of the above, the circuit looks like a battery in series with a resistor, therefore, we can use the power equation to solve the problem as follow:

P = I*V

4W = I*6V

I = 0.667 A

<span>You are given a circuit that contains a 6.0-v battery, a 4.0 ohm resistor, a 0.60 micro farad capacitor, an ammeter, and a switch all in series. You are asked to find the current reading after the switch is closed. Apply ohms law where V = IR where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistor.</span>

V = IR
I = V/R
I = 6 volts / 4 ohms
I = 1.5A

When the switch is closed, the cathode side plate begins to fill up with electrons when it was originally empty before the switch was closed. When it fills up the cathode side of the circuit, the current decreases. And when the capacitor cannot hold more electrons, the current will stop. The higher the capacitance, the higher is the capacity to store electrons.

What is the tangential velocity at the edge of a disk of radius 10cm when it spins with a frequency of 10Hz? Give your answer wi
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

630cm/s

Explanation:

In simple harmonic motion, the tangential velocity is expressed mathematically as v = ὦr

ὦ is the angular velocity = 2πf

r is the radius of the disk

f is the frequency

Given the radius of disk = 10cm

frequency = 10Hz

v = 2πfr

v = 2π×10×10

v = 200π

v = 628.32 cm/s

The tangential velocity = 630cm/s ( to 2 significant figures)

Betty weighs 420 n and she is sitting on a playground swing seat that hangs 0.40 m above the ground. tom pulls the swing back an
Svet_ta [14]
Weight = mass * gravity
420 = mass * 9.8
mass of Betty = 42.857 kg

Difference in height = 1 - 0.45 = 0.55 meters

Total energy = Kinetic energy + potential energy

At the highest point, the kinetic energy is zero while the potential energy is maximum, therefore, we can get the total energy as follows:
Total energy = 0 + mgh
Total energy = 42.857*9.8*0.55 = 231 Joules

At the lowest point, the potential energy is zero while the kinetic energy is maximum. Therefore:
Total energy = 0.5 * m * (v)^2 + 0
231 = 0.5 * (42.857) * (velocity)^2
(velocity)^2 = 10.78
velocity = 3.28 meters/sec

In order to get a tree stump out of the ground, chains are connected to two trucks. One truck pulls with a force of 600 N to the
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The net force on the stump is 1000 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force 1 acting on the truck, F_1=600\ N (due north)

Force 2 acting on the truck, F_2=800\ N (due west)

We need to find the net force on the stump. We know that force is a vector quantity. The net force on the stump is given by the the resultant force. It is given by :

F=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2}

F=\sqrt{600^2+800^2}

F = 1000 N

So, the net force on the stump is 1000 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two billiard balls move toward each other on a table. The mass of the number three ball, m1, is 5 g with a velocity of 3 m/s. Th
Stels [109]

This question deals with the law of conservation of momentum, which basically says that the total momentum in a system must stay the same, provided there are no outside forces. Since you were given the mass and velocity of the two objects you can find the momentum (p=mv) of each and then add them together to find the total momentum of the system before they collide. This total momentum must be the same after they collide.  Since you have the mass and velocity of one of the objects after the collision you can find the its momentum after.  Subtract this from the the system total and you will have the momentum of the other object after the collision.  Now that you know the momentum of the other object you can find its velocity using p=mv and its mass from before.

Be careful with the velocities.  They are vectors, so direction matters.  Typically moving to the right is positive (+) and moving to the left is negative (-).  It is not clear from your question which direction the objects are moving before and after the collision.
