9 × 10²¹ electrons flow through a cross section of the wire in one hour.

<h3>What is the relation between current and charge?</h3>

Mathematically, current = charge / time
In S.I. unit, Charge is written in Coulomb and time in second.

<h3>What is the amount of charge flown through a wire for one hour if it carries 0.4 A current?</h3>

Charge= current × time
Current= 0.4 A, time = 1 hour= 3600 s
Charge= 0.4× 3600

= 1440 C

<h3>How many numbers of electrons present in 1440C of charge?</h3>

One electron= 1.6 × 10^(-19) C
So, 1440 C = 1440/1.6 × 10^(-19)

= 9 × 10²¹ electrons

Thus, we can conclude that the 9 × 10²¹ electrons flow through a cross section of the wire in one hour.

Which of the following accelerations is the smallest in magnitude (ignore positive or negative signs)?

Basile [38]

The <em><u>gravity on the Earth</u></em> has acceleration is smallest in magnitude

Given:

Acceleration from 0 to 30 m/s in 2 s
Deceleration from 30 m/s to 10 m/s in 1.5 s
Gravity on Earth

To find:

The accelerations with the smallest magnitude

Solution:

Acceleration from 0 to 30 m/s in 2 s The acceleration in 2 seconds:

$=\frac{30 m/s-0 m/s}{2s}=15 m/s^2$

The magnitude of the acceleration is 15.

Deceleration from 30 m/s to 10 m/s in 1.5 s The deceleration in 1.5 seconds:

$=\frac{10m/s-30 m/s}{1.5 s}=-13.4 m/s^2$

The magnitude of the deceleration is 13.4.

Gravity on earth

The value of the acceleration due to gravity = $g = 9.8 m/s^2$

The magnitude of the acceleration is 9.8.

9.8 < 13.4 < 15

The <em><u>gravity on the Earth</u></em> has acceleration is smallest in magnitude.

Please someone help me

beks73 [17]

New substances are formed by chemical reactions. When elements react together to form compounds their atoms join to other atoms using chemical bonds. For example, iron and sulfur react together to form a compound called iron sulfide. Hopefully this will help you decide...

How many neutrons does an atom of Dubnium have in its nucleus

attashe74 [19]

Dubnium is a synthetic element ... Number 105. It can be created
in a laboratory but it's not found in nature.

Fifteen (15) different isotopes of Dubnium have been created. They all
have 105 protons in the nucleus of every atom, but they have anywhere
from 256 to 270 neutrons in each nucleus.

The most stable isotope of Dubnium is ²⁶⁸Db , with 163 neutrons in the
nucleus. That form of Dubnium atom has a 50-50 chance of surviving
for around 28 hours before it falls apart.
