Capacitors won't hold a charge indefinitely; as time goes on, charge gradually migrates from the positive to the negative plate. We can model this as a discharge of the capacitor through an internal "leakage resistance." A 0.49F capacitor charged to 3.7V will initially discharge with a leakage current of 0.25mA .
I found the leakage resistance to be 1.5

3. Work is inputted to isothermally move a 1500 Kg mass from an elevation of zero to 35m and to change it velocity. The initial velocity of the mass is 0.55 m/s. The drag work for this process is described by a force which varies over the distance travel, F = ax + b; where F is in Newtons, the coefficient (a) has units of N/m and the constant (b) has units of N. For this application a = 4.1 N/m and b = 700 N. The force is applied over a distance of 1730 m. There is a heat loss from friction of 1.1(106 ) J during this process. Determine the final velocity of the mass.
3b. The input work for this process is from a combustion engine that has an efficiency of 0.28. The heating value of the fuel is 30.0 MJ/liters and its cost is $0.83/liter. Determine the volume of fuel required and its cost to perform the process described in (3.).

A student decides to move a box of books into her dormitory room by pulling on a rope attached to the box. She pulls with a force of 83.2 N at an angle of 28.0° above the horizontal. The box has a mass of 20.0 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between box and floor is 0.300. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
(a) Find the acceleration of the box. (Assume that the +x-axis is to the right and the +y-axis is up along the page.)

keeping her 83.2 N force directed at 28.0° above the line of the
incline. If the coefficient of friction is unchanged, what is the
new acceleration of the box? (Assume that the +x-axis is along the
incline and the +y-axis is upwards and perpendicular to the
incline.)

a. Assume that all of the pendulum’s mass M is contained in the “bob” at the end of the pendulum rod. Write Newton’s 2nd Law for the force balance along the circular arc traced out by the pendulum bob as it swings back and forth. [Hint: You can relate the position of the pendulum bob along its arc to the angle ! formed by the pendulum rod and the vertical line when the pendulum bob is at the “base” of the arc. It may help to draw this.]
b. Using the “small angle approximation” sin(theta) ≈ theta(t) and assuming that the pendulum bob is released from rest at an angle theta(zero), show that theta(zero) = (theta(zero))cos (omega t) solves the force balance equation in (a) for a particular value of omega. What value is it?
c. The period of the pendulum corresponds to the time it takes the pendulum to oscillate through one cycle, i.e., from its initial position and back. Use the result in b to find the period. You should find the period to be a numerical factor times our estimate of the period from dimensional considerations.

You place your lunch leftovers in the refrigerator. Suppose the refrigerator needs to remove 2.0090E+4 J of thermal energy from your lunch to cool it to the temperature of the inside of the refrigerator. In the meantime, this means the refrigerator produces 2.7959E+4 J of thermal energy that it expels into the kitchen as a result. What is the total work done by the compressor motor in the refrigerator? (Ignore any thermal loses due to friction in the motor.)
What is the Coefficient of Performance for the refrigerator?
Your refrigerator actually acts like a heater in your kitchen. Suppose you have a small electric space heater that has a power output of 1.2kW. How long would this heater have to run to produce the same amount of heat as the refrigerator produced while cooling your leftovers?
It takes electricity to run the motor on the refrigerator. If your cost of electricity is 13 cents per kilowatt*hour, how much does it cost (in cents - do not enter units) to cool your lunch down?

A) What should his speed be at the top of the ramp to make it to the edge of the bank? B) if his speed was half the value found in part A where would he land? A physics professor did daredevil stunts in his spare time. His last stunt was an attempt to jump across a river on a motorcycle (the figure (Figure 1) ). The takeoff ramp was inclined at 53.0 ?, the river was 40.0 m wide, and the far bank was 15.0 m lower than the top of the ramp. The river itself was 100 m below the ramp. You can ignore air resistance.
