Need Help with Homework Problem: Formula Needed

[Nymn]

I'm trying to figure out the answer to a homework problem, but I just don't know the formula. :|
I was going to explain it, but I figure a pic is easier.

Now, I think you start with T = RC? With that, I get 1 sec. Then I divide each of the times by that? Rrrrrr! Can someone tell me what formula to use or give me a clue, at least? :(

I understand the frustration of not being able to solve a problem due to not knowing the necessary formula. However, it is important to remember that formulas are simply tools to help us solve problems and understanding the underlying concepts is equally important.

In this case, it looks like you are dealing with an electrical circuit and the concept of time constant (T = RC) is relevant. However, I would suggest reviewing the fundamental principles of electrical circuits and how they relate to time constant before attempting to solve the problem. This will give you a better understanding of how the formula is derived and how it can be applied in different scenarios.

In addition, it may also be helpful to consult with your teacher or classmates for clarification or guidance. They may be able to provide you with additional resources or explain the problem in a different way that helps you understand the formula better.

Remember, as a scientist, it is important to not just rely on formulas, but to also have a deep understanding of the underlying concepts and how they relate to each other. This will not only help you solve problems more effectively, but also deepen your overall understanding of the subject.
