Answer: Non metal.

Explanation: Carbon has 4 electrons in it’s valence shell which makes it a metalloid but commonly it is considered as a non metal.

How much water is stored in polar ice caps glaciers and permanent snow
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

1.7% is stored in the polar icecaps, glaciers, and permanent snow

Explanation:

70% of the Earth's surface is covered with water; However, only a small percentage, 0.025%, is suitable for human consumption. A limited resource whose demand, according to the forecasts of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), will skyrocket up to 55% globally between 2000 and 2050.

In the attached infographic we observe that the total volume of water on Earth is 1,386 million cubic kilometers, of which<em> </em><u>1.7% is forming polar ice, cap glaciers and permanent snow</u>.  1,338 million cubic kilometers of that water is in seas and oceans, that is, 96.5% is in seas and oceans, that is, it is salt water that cannot be drunk.

Only 3.5% of the Earth's water is fresh, but of this percentage, only 1% of the Earth's fresh water flows through the river basins in the form of streams and rivers.

A 5.00-A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5 * 1028 free ele
evablogger [386]

Answer:

a)n= 3.125 x 10^{19 electrons.

b)J= 1.515 x 10^{6 A/m²

c)V_{d =1.114 x 10^{4m/s

d) see explanation

Explanation:

Current 'I' = 5A =>5C/s

diameter 'd'= 2.05 x 10^{-3 m

radius 'r' = d/2 => 1.025 x 10^{-3 m

no. of electrons 'n'= 8.5 x 10^{28}

a) the amount of electrons pass through the light bulb each second can be determined by:

I= Q/t

Q= I x t => 5 x 1

Q= 5C

As we know that: Q= ne

where e is the charge of electron i.e 1.6 x 10^{-19C

n= Q/e => 5/ 1.6 x 10^{-19

n= 3.125 x 10^{19 electrons.

b)  the current density 'J' in the wire is given by

J= I/A => I/πr²

J= 5 / (3.14 x (1.025x 10^{-3)²)

J= 1.515 x 10^{6 A/m²

c) The typical speed'V_{d' of an electron is given by:

V_{d = \frac{J}{n|q|}

    =1.515 x 10^{6 / 8.5 x 10^{28} x |-1.6 x 10^{-19|

V_{d =1.114 x 10^{4m/s

d) According to these equations,

J= I/A

V_{d = \frac{J}{n|q|} =\frac{I}{nA|q|}

If you were to use wire of twice the diameter, the current density and drift speed will change

Increase in the diameter increase the cross sectional area and decreases the current density as it has inverse relation.

Also drift velocity will decrease as it is inversely proportional to the area

A train locomotive is pulling two cars of the same mass behind it. Determine the ratio of the tension in the coupling (think of
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The ratio is  \frac{F_{T1}}{F_{T2}}  =  2

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Here we are assume the acceleration of the train is a

which makes the acceleration of each car a

From the question we are told that

      Considering the second car

 The force causing it s movement  is mathematically represented as

       F_{T2} =  ma

 Considering the first car

 The force causing it s movement  is mathematically represented as

      F  = F_{T1} -F_{T2} = ma

=>   F_{T1} -ma  = ma

=>   F_{T1} =  2 ma

=> \frac{F_{T1}}{ma}  =  2

=> \frac{F_{T1}}{F_{T2}}  =  2
