Answer: 6.241\times 10^{18} electrons pass through a cross section of the wire each second.

Explanation:

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an atom contains 6.022\times 10^{23} number of particles.

Given : Charge on 1 electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}C

Charge on 1 mole of electrons = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=96500C

To calculate the charge passed we use the equation:

I=\frac{q}{t}

where,

I = current passed = 1 A

q = total charge = ?

t = time required = 1 sec

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1A=\frac{q}{1s}\\\\q=1A\times 1s=1C

When 96500C of electricity is passed , the electrons passed = 6.022\times 10^{23}

1 C of electricity is passed , the electrons passed = \frac{6.022\times 10^{23}}{96500}\times 1C=6.241\times 10^{18}

Hence, 6.241\times 10^{18} electrons pass through a cross section of the wire each second.

Answer:

Crumple zones are designed to absorb and redistribute the force of a collision. ... Also known as a crush zone, crumple zones are areas of a vehicle that are designed to deform and crumple in a collision. This absorbs some of the energy of the impact, preventing it from being transmitted to the occupants.

You pull a solid nickel ball with a density of 8.91 g/cm3 and a radius of 1.40 cm upward through a fluid at a constant speed of
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

P = 1.090\,N

Explanation:

The constant speed means that ball is not experimenting acceleration. This elements is modelled by using the following equation of equilibrium:

\Sigma F = P - W + F_{D}

\Sigma F = P - \rho \cdot V \cdot g + c\cdot v = 0

Now, the exerted force is:

P = \rho \cdot V \cdot g - c\cdot v

The volume of a sphere is:

V = \frac{4\cdot \pi}{3}\cdot R^{3}

V = \frac{4\cdot \pi}{3}\cdot (0.014\,m)^{3}

V = 1.149\times 10^{-5}\,m^{3}

Lastly, the force is calculated:

P = (8910\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} )\cdot (1.149\cdot 10^{-5}\,m^{3})\cdot (9.81\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )+(0.950\,\frac{kg}{s})\cdot (0.09\,\frac{m}{s} )

P = 1.090\,N

A 0.49-kg cord is stretched between two supports, 7.8m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels
katovenus [111]

To solve this problem we will apply the laws of Mersenne. Mersenne's laws are laws describing the frequency of oscillation of a stretched string or monochord, useful in musical tuning and musical instrument construction. This law tells us that the velocity in a string is directly proportional to the root of the applied tension, and inversely proportional to the root of the linear density, that is,

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

Here,

v = Velocity

\mu= Linear density (Mass per  unit length)

T = Tension

Rearranging to find the Period we have that

T = v^2 \mu

T = v^2 (\frac{m}{L})

As we know that speed is equivalent to displacement in a unit of time, we will have to

T = (\frac{L}{t}) ^2(\frac{m}{L})

T = (\frac{7.8}{0.83})^2 (\frac{0.49}{7.8})

T = 5.54N

Therefore the tension is 5.54N
