a.) τ = 2.85 s b.) Q = 3.19 * 10^-5 C c.) t = 1.691 s

Explanation:

So we are told that it is a RC circuit. We are told = 12.0 V, R =  1.07 MΩ and C = 2.66 µF.

a.) The time constant for RC circuit, τ = RC. Substituting our known values we get:

τ = RC where R = (1.07 * 10 ^ 6)Ω and C = (2.66 * 10 ^ -6) F

τ = (1.07 * 10 ^ 6)Ω * (2.66 * 10 ^ -6) F = 2.8462 s ≈ 2.85 s

τ = 2.85 s

b.) The relationship between capacitance, potential, charge is given:

The capacitor is fully charge when t approaches infinity, therefore:

When t approaches infinity, the term e becomes very small (e^-∞ = 0), therefore we can simplify the equation and plug in our values

Q = 3.19 * 10^-5 C

c.) Using the same equation as before, we can substitute Q in and solve for Q:

t = 1.691 s

Hope this helps! I'm not sure what the units you want, so convert to the desired units.

force is mass*acceleration.

we have a very small mass: 11.4*0.001 kg

if we want 0.035n of force, we need an acceleration:

0.035 = 11.4*0.001*a

a = 0.035/(11.4*0.001) m/s^2
