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.

Answer:

Explanation:

A closed system can exchange energy but not matter, with its surroundings. An isolated system cannot exchange any heat, work, or matter with the surroundings, while an open system can exchange energy and matter.

Here We can use principle of angular momentum conservation

Here as we know boy + projected mass system has no external torque

Since there is no torque so we can say the angular momentum is conserved

$mvL = (I + mL^2)\omega$

now we know that

m = 2 kg

v = 2.5 m/s

L = 0.35 m

I = 4.5 kg-m^2

now plug in all values in above equation

$2\times 2.5 \times 0.35 = (4.5 + (2\times 0.35^2))\omega$

$1.75 = [4.5 + 0.245]\omega$

$1.75 = 4.745\omega$

$\omega = 0.37 rad/s$

so the final angular speed will be 0.37 rad/s
