Sorry but this confuses me more than it helps. I will stop here because I do not want this problem to make me reconsider my knowledge on parallel and series circuits.

Can you please make a diagram of the circuit? I really do not see them in parallel.

Is this something I have to commit to memory or can you tell me why the voltage must be the same? I thought in series, only charges and the current are the same.

I think charges will move until an equilibrium is achieved. The only way I see that equilibrium happening is if each capacitor gets an equal amount of charges. Is there another way to reach the equilibrium state?

Then the Voltage across each resistor will change accordingly to have 0.001625 coulombs? I don’t see the point you are trying to make.

In my opinion the voltage across C1 remains 50V, across C2 remains 50V. By the way these capacitances are in microfarad (not in millifarad).

I have no problems with part a). I used the formula for capacitance and determined the charges to be 0.00125 coulombs and 0.002 coulombs. The solution in the book is the same. For part b) my initial thought was that the charges will redistribute themselves so that each capacitor get the same...

Great, thank you so very much.

The picture of the problem and my attempt to solve it are below. Please let me know if my resolution is correct. Thank you in advance.

Yes, that's right.

Okay, thank you so very much.

Oh, we don't have a constant speed in this case so we can't use half the time, right?

But doesn't the car need half the time to travel half the distance since the deceleration is constant?

Homework Statement A car initially traveling at 29.0 m/s undergoes a constant negative acceleration of magnitude 1.75 m/s2after its brakes are applied. (a) How many revolutions does each tire make before the car comes to a stop, assuming the car does not skid and the tires have radii of 0.330...

Okay, thank you so very much.
