In a fluorescent tube of diameter 4.8 cm , 2.7 × 1018 electrons (with a charge of −e) and 2.4 × 1018 positive ions (with a charg

e of +e) flow in opposite directions through a cross-sectional each second. What is the current in the tube? The fundamental charge is 1.602 × 10−19 C. Answer in units of A.

Answer: 0.817A

Explanation:

Assuming , that one coulomb per second of negative charge alone flow through a conductor and no positive charges flow. I.e Q=It

It means a current of one A flow in the opposite direction.

This is similar to one coulomb per second of positive charge flowing through and there is no negative charge,

In addition, the one coulomb per second of positive charge flows. This is flowing in the current direction of the previous one. Then, the total current is 2 A. Since 2 coulomb of positive charges flow through one due to real positive charge and another due to the negative charge flowing in opposite direction.The charges cannot cancel each other, because even before the current flow the conductor was neutral.

According to this, the current in the given problem is

[2.7 + 2.4] x 10 ^ 18 * 1.602 x 10^ [-19] C/s

= 0.817 A

Importance of choke coil?<br><br>​
Verdich [7]

Answer:The choke coil works because it can act as an inductor. When the current pass through will change as AC currents creates a magnetic field in the coil that works against that current. This is known as inductance and blocks most of the AC current from passing through.

The diagram below shows the different phase transitions that occur in matter.
Margaret [11]

Answer:A

Explanation:matter normally occurs in three phases;solid, liquid and gases. They may change from one phase to another due to temperature difference.

The molecules that makes up solids are held together by bonds. When heat is added,the molecules begin to move as a result,the bonds break and it turns to liquid.this process is called melting. The reverse of melting is freezing.

Liquid are made up of molecules that moves more freely than solids. When heat is added to liquid,the molecules gain more energy and begins to move faster. This causes them to turn to gases.

This process is called evaporation. It occurs at different temperature for different substances.

The particles of gases move more faster and are separated by large distances. A gas can change back to a liquid through condensation.

A football player, with a mass of 69.0 kg, slides on the ground after being knocked down. At the start of the slide, the player
White raven [17]

Answer:

(a) -472.305  J

(b) 1 m

Explanation:

(a)

Change in mechanical energy equals change in kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is given by0.5mv^{2}

Initial kinetic energy is 0.5\times 69\times 3.7^{2}=472.305 J

Since he finally comes to rest, final kinetic energy is zero because the final velocity is zero

Change in kinetic energy is given by final kinetic energy- initial kinetic energy hence

0-472.305  J=-472.305  J

(b)

From fundamental kinematic equation

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

Where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, a is acceleration, s is distance

Making s the subject we obtain

s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{-2a} but a=\mu g hence

s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{-2\mu g}=\frac {0^{2}-3.7^{2}}{-2*0.7*9.81}=0.996796272\approx 1 m

During a neighborhood baseball game in a vacant lot, a particularly wild hit sends a 0.148 kg baseball crashing through the pane
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of baseball, m = 0.148 kg

initial velocity, u = 15.5 m/s

final velocity, v = 10.1 m/s

Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of the body.

Impulse = change in momentum

I = m (v - u)

I = 0.148 (10.1 - 15.5)

I = - 0.8 Ns

Before giving an injection, a nurse dabs some alcohol onto the patient`s arm. This makes the patient`s skin feels cold. Explain
mezya [45]

Answer:

Before giving an injection, a nurse dabs some alcohol onto the patient`s arm. This makes the patient`s skin feels cold. Explain Why ?

<em> Evaporative cooling makes this to be possible</em>

Explanation:

The concept

For a liquid to evaporate, there must be a breakdown of the bond between the molecules of the liquid. These bonds are broken when the molecules gain heat energy. So basically evaporation occurs when the molecules of the substance gain energy in form of heat.

Our Scenario

Just like the way our body excretes sweat on a sunny day, alcohol takes energy from the skin to evaporate. The bond holding the molecules of alcohol breaks faster due to its low boiling point and this account why it evaporates faster. The sudden evaporation of alcohol when dabbed on the skin results in quick utilization of heat energy making the skin feel cold for some time.

The utilization of heat energy from the skin results in evaporation cooling which makes the skin feel colder.
