Answer:

h = 23.716 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The time taken by the stone to hit the water is, t = 2.2 s

Height of the bridge above the ground, h = ?

The distance that the body will fall through the time is given by the formula

S = 1/2 gt² m

Where,

g - acceleration due to gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation

S = 1/2 x 9.8 m/s² x (2.2 s)²

= 23.716 m

Therefore, the height of the bridge from the surface of the water is h = 23.716 m

E<br> 3.6 What force is needed to give a mass of<br> 20 kg an acceleration of 5 m/s??

luda_lava [24]

Explanation:

Mass(m)= 20kg
Acceleration (a)= 5m/s²
Force(F)= ?

We know that,

F=ma
F=20×5
F=100N

Hence, the needed force is 100N.

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the magnitude of the dri

nordsb [41]

Complete Question

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the drift velocity of the electrons. (The cross-sectional area of a 10-gauge wire is 5.261 mm2.) mm/s

Answer:

The drift velocity is $v = 0.0002808 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The current on the copper is $I = 20 \ A$

The cross-sectional area is $A = 5.261 \ mm^2 = 5.261 *10^{-6} \ m^2$

The number of copper atom in the wire is mathematically evaluated

$n = \frac{\rho * N_a}Z}$

Where $\rho$ is the density of copper with a value $\rho = 8.93 \ g/m^3$

$N_a$ is the Avogadro's number with a value $N_a = 6.02 *10^{23}\ atom/mol$

Z is the molar mass of copper with a value $Z = 63.55 \ g/mol$

$n = \frac{8.93 * 6.02 *10^{23}}{63.55}$

$n = 8.46 * 10^{28} \ atoms /m^3$

Given the 1 atom is equivalent to 1 free electron then the number of free electron is

$N = 8.46 * 10^{28} \ electrons$

The current through the wire is mathematically represented as

$I = N * e * v * A$

substituting values

$20 = 8.46 *10^{28} * (1.60*10^{-19}) * v * 5.261 *10^{-6}$

=> $v = 0.0002808 \ m/s$

One thousand grams of seawater would consist of how many grams of dissolved substances? 65 635 35 965

Naya [18.7K]

<span>One thousand grams of seawater has 35 grams of dissolved substances ... on the average. While the salinity of the Earth's oceans and seas varies, the average salinity of seawater rests at 3.5%. Consider one liter or sea or ocean water. One liter has 1,000 milliliters (mL) in it. To find 3.5% of 1,000, we would multiply with the decimal place adjusted for percentages: 1000 x .035 = 35. Therefore, for every 1,000 mL of seawater, we will find 35 grams of (mostly) sodium chloride, otherwise known as salt.</span>
