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

If you make multiple measurements of your height, you are likely to find that the results vary by nearly half an inch in either
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Height h= 1.7 m

Explanation:

Supposing we have to find height in meter.

1 feet = 0.3048 m

1 inch = 0.0254 m

Given that:

5 feet

= 5×0.3048

= 1.524 m

and 7 inch = 7×0.0254= 0.1778 m

Therefore total height of a man in meter

5 feet 7 inch = 1.5424+0.1778 =1.7 m

Height h= 1.7 m

ONLINE CALCULATOR .A force of 187 pounds makes an angle of 73 degrees 36 ' with a second force. The resultant of the two forces
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The magnitudes of the second force is   Z = 129.9 N

The magnitudes of the  resultant force is   R = 256.047 N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The force is  F = 187 \ lb

     The angle made with second force \theta_o = 73 ^o 36' =  73 + \frac{36}{60}  =  73.6^o

     The angle between the resultant force and the first force \theta _1  = 29 ^o 1 ' = 29 + \frac{1}{60}  = 29.0167^o

For us to solve problem we are going to assume that

     The magnitude of the second force is  Z N

     The magnitude of the resultant force is R N

According to Sine rule

                \frac{F}{sin (\theta _o - \theta_1 }  = \frac{Z}{\theta _1}

Substituting values

             \frac{187}{sin(73.3 - 29.01667)} =\frac{Z}{sin (29.01667)}  

             267.82 =\frac{Z}{0.4851}  

              Z = 129.9 N

According to cosine rule

       R = \sqrt{F ^2 + Z^2 + 2(F) (Z) cos (\theta _o) }

Substituting values

     R = \sqrt{187^2 + 129.9 ^2  + 2 (187 ) (129.9) cos (73.6)}

     R = 256.047 N

You and a friend each carry a 15 kg suitcase up two flights of stairs, walking at a constant speed. Take each suitcase to be the
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Both of you did the same work but you expended more power.

Explanation:              

<em>Work done</em> by an object is calculated by force applied multiplied by the distance.

  W=F*d

From the figure given below let us calculate force applied bith you and yopur friend.

Let us take the stairs in positive x direction,

Work done by you W₁ ,

The force applied Fₓ = F - mgsinθ =maₓ

here aₓ = 0, because both of you move with constant speed

F - mgsinθ = 0

F=  mgsinθ

The work done by you on the suitcase is

W = F L cos0°  ,    where L is he length of the staircase.

W = FL = mgsinθL ,  by substituting value of F

Work done by you is W₁ = mgLsinθ

Similarly work done by your friend is W₂ = mgLsinθ.

Because both of you carry suitcase of same weight and in staircase is in same angle the force applied is same .

Therefore <em>work done by both of you is same</em> . Both of you did equal work.

The power , is defined as amount of energy converted or transfered per second or rate at which work is done .

P =\frac{W}{t} =\frac{FL}{t}

Power spend by you P₁ = mgLsinθ/t

P₁ = 15*9.8*Lsinθ/30

P₁ = 4.9L sinθ  eqn 1

Power spend by your friend is P₂ = mgLsinθ/t

P₂ =15*9.8*Lsinθ/60

P₂ = 2.45Lsinθ    eqn 2

Dividing eqn 1 and eqn 2

P₁ = 2P₂

You have spend more power than your friend .

Hence Both of you did equal work but you spend more power.
