  • Physics Parallel Plate Capacitor?

    A 5900-nF parallel plate capacitor is connected to a 12-V battery and charged.

    The 5900-nF capacitor is then disconnected from the 12-V battery and used to charge three uncharged capacitors, a 100-nF capacitor, a 200-nF capacitor, and a 300-nF capacitor, connected in series.

    Q on the positive plate of the capacitor = 7.08 x 10^(-5) C

    electric potential energy stored in the capacitor = 4.25 x 10^(-4) J

    (a) After charging, what is the potential difference across the three uncharged capacitors?

    (b) How much of the electrical energy stored in the 5900-nF capacitor was transferred to the other three capacitors?

  • bernoulli's equation physics problem help?

    An open-topped tank completely filled with water has a release valve near its bottom. The valve is h = 1.9 m below the water surface. Water is released from the valve to power a turbine, which generates electricity. The area of the top of the tank, A_T, is 38 times the cross-sectional area, A_V, of the valve opening.

    http://www.webassign.net/bauerphys1/13-p-053-alt.g...

    (i) Calculate the speed of the water as it exits the valve. Neglect friction and viscosity. (Enter your answer to five significant figures.)

    (ii) In addition, calculate the speed of a drop of water released from rest at h = 1.9 m when it reaches the elevation of the valve. (Enter your answer to five significant figures.)

  • Physics Question Help Please?

    Once a favorite playground sport, dodgeball is becoming increasingly popular among adults of all ages who want to stay in shape and who even form organized leagues. Gutball is a less popular variant of dodgeball in which players are allowed to bring their own (typically nonregulation) equipment and in which cheap shots to the face are permitted. In a gutball tournament against people half his age, a physics professor threw his 0.4 kg soccer ball at a kid throwing a 0.6 kg basketball. The balls collided in midair (see the figure), and the basketball flew off with an energy of 90.0 J at an angle θ = 30.0° relative to its initial path. Before the collision, the energy of the soccer ball was 100 J and the energy of the basketball was 112 J.

    1) At what angle and speed did the soccer ball move away from the collision?

  • Impulse / Linear Momentum Physics Help Please?

    The largest railway gun ever built was called Gustav and was used briefly in World War II. The gun, mount, and train car had a total mass of 1.22 x 10^6 kg. The gun fired a projectile that was 80.0 cm in diameter and weighed 7502 kg. In the firing illustrated in the figure, the gun has been elevated at θ = 20.0° above the horizontal. If the railway gun was at rest before firing and moved to the right at a speed v = 5.00 m/s immediately after firing...

    1) What was the speed of the projectile as it left the barrel (muzzle velocity)?

    2) How far will the projectile travel if air resistance is neglected? Assume that the wheel axles are frictionless.

  • physics - oscillation help please?

    A 1.90 kg, horizontal, uniform tray is attached to a vertical ideal spring of force constant 185 N/m and a 270 g metal ball is in the tray. The spring is below the tray, so it can oscillate up-and-down. The tray is then pushed down 17.1 cm below its equilibrium point (call this point A) and released from rest.

    1) How high above point A will the tray be when the metal ball leaves the tray? (Hint: This does not occur when the ball and tray reach their maximum speeds.)

    2) How much time elapses between releasing the system at point A and the ball leaving the tray?

    3) How fast is the ball moving just as it leaves the tray?
