Originally there must been

1,4775E6 + 2.25E4 = 147.75E4 + 2.25E4 = 150E4 present at start

% = 2.25 / 150 = 1.5 %      of 235 U left

Artyom0805 [142]

3.60 A = 3.60 coulombs of charge per second

(3.60 Coul/sec) x (15.3 sec) = 55.08 coulombs of charge

1 coulomb of charge is carried by 6.25 x 10^18 electrons

Number of electrons =

               (55.08 Coul) x (6.25 x 10^18 e/coul) = <em>3.4425 x 10^20 electrons</em>

What is the average velocity of a car if it travels from position 25m to a position of -7m in 34 seconds?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

vp = 0.94 m/s

Explanation

Formula

Vp = position/ time

position: Initial position - Final position

Position = 25 m - (-7 m) = 25 m + 7 m = 32 m

Then

Vp = 32 m / 34 seconds

Vp = 0.94 m/s
