In a long, straight, vertical lightning stroke, electrons move downward and positive ions move upward and constitute a current o

f magnitude 20.0kA . At a location 50.0m east of the middle of the stroke, a free electron drifts through the air toward the west with a speed of 300 m/s . (e) If it does not collide with any obstacles, how many revolutions will the electron complete during the 60.0-μs duration of the lightning stroke?

The number of revolutions the electron completes in 60.0-μs of the strike is 134.

A magnetic field, a vector field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetic materials. When a charge moves through a magnetic field, a force that is perpendicular to both its own velocity and the magnetic field operates on it.

Electrons go downward and positive ions move upward in a long, straight, vertical lightning stroke, creating a current of magnitude I = 20.0 kA.

A free electron travels through the air at a speed of v = 300 m/s at a place r = 50.0 m east of the stroke's center.

Let the magnetic field be B, and F be the magnetic force.

Counterclockwise horizontal arcs of field lines are produced by the upward lightning current.

We have, B = 8 × 10⁻⁵ T and;

The mass of an electron is, m = 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg

The time interval is Δt = 60 μs = 60 × 10⁻⁶

The angular frequency is given as:

ω = qB /m = 2πN / Δt

Where the number of revolutions is N.

So,

N = qBΔt /2πm

N = (l.60 × l0⁻¹⁹)(8 × l0⁻⁵)(60 × 10⁻⁶) / 2π(9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg)

N = 134 revolutions

What is the formula for calculating the efficiency of a heat engine?
Anton [14]

Answer:

Efficiency = StartFraction T Subscript h Baseline minus T Subscript C Baseline over T Subscript h Baseline EndFraction times 100. Efficiency equals T Subscript c Baseline minus T Subscript h Baseline over T Subscript h Baseline all times 100.

A mechanic uses a mechanical lift to raise a car. The car weighs 11,000 N. The lift raises the car 2.5 m.
KengaRu [80]

Potential energy = (weight) x (height)

After the car has been raised 2.5 meters, it has

                 (11,000) x (2.5) = 27,500 Joules

MORE potential energy than it had before it was lifted.

That's the energy that has to come from the work you do to lift it.

Since no mechanical process is ever 100% efficient, the work required
to accomplish this task is <em>at least  27,500 joules</em>.
