Question:

An RC circuit consists of a series connection of a 120-V source, a switch, a 34-MΩ resistor, and a 15-μF capacitor. The circuit is used in estimating the speed of a horse running a 4-km racetrack. The switch closes when the horse begins and opens when the horse crosses the finish line. Assuming that the capacitor charges to 85.6 V, calculate the speed of the horse.
