How long does it take electrons to get from the car battery to the starting motor? Assume the current is 137 A and the electrons

travel through copper wire with cross sectional area 44.6 mm2 and length 75.7 cm . The mass density of copper is 8960 kg/m3 and the molar mass is 63.5 g/mol . Avogadro’s number is 6.022 × 1023 . Assume that each copper atom contributes one conduction electron. Answer in units of min.

Answer:

t = 55.79 min

Explanation:

First, the problem is asking for calculate the time that it takes electrons from the battery to the motor.

The general formula to calculate time is:

<em>t = d/V (1)</em>

Where:

d: distance or length

V: speed

Now, we don't have data of speed, but we can know an expression of current density in function of the distance which is the following:

<em>J = n*q*V (2)</em>

Where:

q: charge of the particle (1.6x10^-19 C)

n: number of charge carriers per unit of volume

Current density (J) is actually current per Area so:

<em>J = I/A (3)</em>

Replacing (3) in (2) we have:

I/A = nqV

Solving for V:

<em>V = I/Anq (4)</em>

Finally, if we replace this expression in (1) we have:

<em>t = nqAd / I (5)</em>

Now, the value of n, it's not given but it can be calculated because we have mass density, molar mass and avogadro's number, so this value of "n" can be calculated using the following expression:

<em>n = D * Av / MM (6)</em>

Where:

D: mass density (kg/m³)

Av: avogadro number (6.02x10^23 atom/mol)

MM: molar mass (kg/mol)

Putting the data that we know to calculate n we have:

n = 8960 * 6.02x10^23 / 0.0635

n = 8.49x10^28 atom/m³

Now with the value of n, we can finally calculate the time:

<em>t = nqAd / I </em>

A is the area and it should be in m²: 44.6 mm² / 1x10^6 m = 4.46x10^-5 m²

d is the length in meter: 75.7 cm / 100 cm/m = 0.757 m

so replacing these data in (5):

t = 8.49x10^28 * 1.6x10^-19 * 4.46x10^-5 * 0.757 / 137

t = 3,347.63 s

But the answer is in minute so:

t = 3,347.63 / 60

<em>t = 55.79 min</em>

so the electrons takes 56 min aprox. to go from the car battery to the starting motor.

A liquid dietary supplement is packaged in 10-ml dropper containers to deliver 2000 international units of vitamin d3 in each dr
RoseWind [281]

Answer : 37 drops are delivered per milliliter of the solution.

Explanation :

The problem gives us lot of extra information.

We want to find the number of drops delivered in 1 milliliter here.

We have been given that, one drop of the solution delivers 0.027 mL of solution.

Let us use this as a conversion factor, \frac{1 drop}{0.027 mL}

Let us find number of drops in 1 mL using this conversion factor.

1 mL \times \frac{1 drop}{0.027mL} = 37.0 drops

Therefore we can say that 37 drops are delivered per milliliter of the solution.

Find the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 3.52x10^-22J PLEASE HELPPP!!!
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

λ   = 0.85×10³⁰ m

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of radiation =  ?

Frequency of radiation = 3.52×10⁻²² Hz

Solution:

Formula:

c = f × λ

c = speed of wave = 3×10⁸ m/s

by putting values,

3×10⁸ m/s =  3.52×10⁻²² Hz × λ

λ  =  3×10⁸ m/s / 3.52×10⁻²² s⁻¹

λ   = 0.85×10³⁰ m

Which letter (a-f) represents activation energy (Ea) of the forward reaction (reactants)?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The correct option is;

f

Explanation:

Here we have the activation energy is the minimum energy that is needed to allow a reaction to take place. The activation energy is the energy atoms or molecules need to be in a state where they can take part in a chemical reaction or a physical transport.

In the diagram, It is the amount of energy to be added to the energy in the reactants in their initial state which is on the left plateau on the reaction-energy chart, to the transition state which is the peak of the chart.
