The exponent of the exponential function contains RC for the given circuit, which is called the time constant. Use the units of R and C to find units of RC. Write ohms in terms of volts and amps and write farads in terms of volts and coulombs. Simplify until you get something simple. Show your work below.

The unit of the time constant RC is the second

Explanation:

The unit of resistance, R is the Ohm, Ω and resistance, R = V/I where V = voltage and I = current. The unit of voltage is the volt, V while the unit of current is the ampere. A.

Since R = V/I

Unit of R = unit of V/unit of I

Unit of R = V/A

Ω = V/A

Also, The unit of capacitance, C is the Farad, F and capacitance, F = Q/V where Q = charge and V = voltage. the unit of charge is the coulomb, C while the unit of voltage is the volt, V

Since C = Q/V

Unit of C = unit of Q/unit of V

Unit of C = C/V

F = C/V

Now the time constant equals RC.

So, the unit of the time constant = unit of R × unit of C = Ω × F = V/A × C/V = C/A

Also. we know that the  1 Ampere = 1 Coulomb per second

1 A = 1 C/s

So, substituting 1 A in the denominator, we have

unit of RC =  C/A = C ÷ C/s = s

So, the unit of RC = s = second

So, the unit of the time constant RC is the second

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.

answer would be letter choice (a),   a ball resting on a shelf. would be another example of potential energy   >   stored energy > not moving.

a ball spinning on a finger   >   kinetic energy > moving energy

a ball rolling on the ground   >   kinetic energy   > moving energy

a   ball flying through the air   > kinetic energy   >   moving energy
