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.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion.

Torque from the rotational movement is defined as

$\tau = I\alpha$

where

I = Moment of inertia $\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mr^2$ For a disk

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

The angular acceleration at the same time can be defined as function of angular velocity and angular displacement (Without considering time) through the expression:

$2 \alpha \theta = \omega_f^2-\omega_i^2$

Where

$\omega_{f,i} =$ Final and Initial Angular velocity

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

$\theta =$ Angular displacement

Our values are given as

$\omega_i = 0 rad/s$

$\omega_f = 450rev/min (\frac{1min}{60s})(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})$

$\omega_f = 47.12rad/s$

$\theta = 3 rev (\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev}) \rightarrow 6\pi rad$

$r = 7cm = 7*10^{-2}m$

$m = 17g = 17*10^{-3}kg$

Using the expression of angular acceleration we can find the to then find the torque, that is,

$2\alpha\theta=\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2$

$\alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}$

$\alpha = \frac{47.12^2-0^2}{2*6\pi}$

$\alpha = 58.89rad/s^2$

With the expression of the acceleration found it is now necessary to replace it on the torque equation and the respective moment of inertia for the disk, so

$\tau = I\alpha$

$\tau = (\frac{1}{2}mr^2)\alpha$

$\tau = (\frac{1}{2}(17*10^{-3})(7*10^{-2})^2)(58.89)$

$\tau = 0.00245N\cdot m \approx 2.45*10^{-3}N\cdot m$

Therefore the torque exerted on it is $2.45*10^{-3}N\cdot m$

Suppose an automobile has 2000-joules of kinetic energy. when it moves at twice the speed, what will be its kinetic energy? what

NeX [460]

Answer:

K.Eₓ = 4 K.E

K.Eₓ = 9 K.E

Explanation:

Th formula for the kinetic energy of a body is given as follows:

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\$ ---------------equation (1)

where,

K.E = Kinetic Energy of Automobile

m = mass of automobile

v = speed of automobile

For twice speed:

vₓ = 2v

then,

$K.E_{x} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{x}^2\\K.E_{x} = \frac{1}{2}m(2v)^2\\K.E_{x} = 4\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\$

using equation (1):

<u>K.Eₓ = 4 K.E</u>

For thrice speed:

vₓ = 3v

then,

$K.E_{x} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{x}^2\\K.E_{x} = \frac{1}{2}m(3v)^2\\K.E_{x} = 9\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\$

using equation (1):

<u>K.Eₓ = 9 K.E</u>

The parking brake on a 1200kg automobile has broken, and the vehicle has reached a momentum of 7800kg.M/s. What is the velocity

AysviL [449]

Ok so the equation for momentum is:
v=p/m

So you would do:
7800/1200=6.5

So the answer is:
6.5 m/s

Hope this helps :)

Describe a situation in which you can accelerate even though your speed doesn’t change.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Acceleration is not the same as speeding up. It refers to any modification of motion's direction or speed. Accelerated motion is any movement that is not constant speed in a straight line.

<h3>What is meant by acceleration?</h3>

The rate at which an object's velocity for time changes is referred to as acceleration in mechanics. They are vector quantities and accelerations. The direction of the net force acting on an object determines the direction of its acceleration.

An object's velocity can alter depending on whether it moves faster or slower or in a different direction. A falling apple, the moon orbiting the earth, and a car stopped at a stop sign are a few instances of acceleration.

The rate at which velocity changes is called acceleration. Acceleration typically indicates a change in speed, but not necessarily. An item that follows a circular course while maintaining a constant speed is still moving forward because the direction of its motion is shifting.
