I tried to work it out and i was wondering if this was the correct way to show wht the question is asking for
q1=C1V and q2=C2V
q=q1+q2=(C1+C2)V
CsV=q=(C1+C2)V
Cs=C1+C2
Homework Statement
Derive a relationship for Cs for a two capacitor series circuit with a resistor. Start by showing that the same charge separation q is present across the capacitor and each of the capacitors in series and that the voltage across Cs is equal to the sum of the potential...
Homework Statement
Show that you can measure the magnitude of the velocity vectors which have units of distance/time with a ruler that measures distance, if a certain condition is met. What is this necessary condition.Use the Equation and Figure to prove below that this can be done...
-k1x1=-k2x2=F
F=-keq*x
solving for x1
x1=[(k2)/(k1+k2)] +x2
putting into F=-k2x2+k2x1
F=x2 (-k1k2-k2^2+k2^2)/(k1+k2)
simplified
F=-[(k1k2)/(k1+k2)]*x2
then the Keq = (k1k2)/(k1+k2) ?
Homework Statement
The problem is in the attachment
Homework Equations
F=-kx
k1x1=k2x1
The Attempt at a Solution
I got as my answer Keq= (k1k2)/(k1+k2)
i just wanted to see if i had the right idea or no.
