round errors and I figured it out. 1.8mC gets dumped on both of the caps.

Oops sorry my bad i mean capacitors in series have same charge. But I can't solve for V w/o finding out the capacitance on each capacitor. So what I am trying to say is does the both of the capacitors get 1.8mC of charge or do they each get .9mC?

Homework Statement A circuit composed of 2 capacitors of .40MF and .50MF are connected in series to a 9V battery. Calculate the charge on each I just have a general question. I know that capacitors in series have the same charge. I found Q to be 2MC and I was wondering if 1.8MC is the charge...

Oh and this is for rc circuits don't know if that makes a difference

Homework Statement What is the best way to discharge the capacitor? Explain Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I know two ways but I'm not sure if they're the "best" ways. One is by touching both wires of the capacitor to something made out of metal. The other is holding...

Im trying to find the normal force that acts on an roller coaster when going aruond a loop. when the roller coaster is at the top the Fn is always 0 right? And is that the only time its 0?

Homework Statement A 50N force is applied to a 10kg object in the horizontal direction across a surface where Ms=.6. What is the acceleration of the object? All answers below are in terms of acceleration so no units are provided. A)0 B)-1.0 c)11 d)8 Homework Equations The...

I have a question about those three forces. Let's say for example that f1x=0 and f1y=5 then f1=5 right? Or do I have to use the pathagorean therem to find f1 then it would be the square root of 5?
