The charge of an electron is -1.602 x 10^-19 Coulombs. If an average lightning bolt carries around 10.0 Coulombs of charge, we can simply divide this by the charge of an electron to estimate the total number of excess electrons:

(10.0 C) / (1.602 x 10^-19 C/electron) = 6.24 x 10^19 electrons
So there are around 6.24 x 10^19 excess electrons in a typical lightning bolt.

Answer:6.24\times 10^{19} electrons are present in the lightening bolt.

Explanation:

Total charge = -10.0 C

Charge on 1 electron = -1.602\times 10^{-19} C

Number of electrons = n

Total charge = n × charge on 1 electron

-10.0 C=n\times -1.602\times 10^{-19} C

n=\frac{-10.0 C}{-1.602\times 10^{-19} C}=6.24\times 10^{19} electrons

6.24\times 10^{19} electrons are present in the lightening bolt.

wolverine [178]
The distance from the Sun to the Earth is 149,600,000 km.

d=149 600 000 \ km = 149 600 000 000 \ m = 1496 \cdot 10^8 \ m \\
v=2 \cdot 10^6 \ \frac{m}{s} \\ \\ \\
t=\frac{d}{v} \\ \\
t=\frac{1496 \cdot 10^8 \ m}{2 \cdot 10^6 \ \frac{m}{s}}=748 \cdot 10^2 \ s =\frac{748 \cdot 10^2 }{36 \cdot 10^2} \ h \approx \underline{\underline{20,78 \ h}}

The Bellagio is about 150 meters tall. A person drops a penny off the roof. The penny is 1 kg. How fast will it be going when it
pentagon [3]

Answer:

1. The final velocity of the penny before it hits the ground is approximately 54.25 m/s

2. The velocity after falling 45 meters is approximately 37.10 m/s

3. The height up the hill one can start without going over the smaller hill is approximately 2.75 meters

Explanation:

The height of the Bellagio, h = 150 meters

The mass of the penny, m  = 1 kg

The kinematic equation of motion that can be used to find the final velocity of the penny 'v' before it hits the ground, is presented as follows;

v² = u² + 2·g·h

Where;

v = The final velocity of the penny after dropping through a height, 'h'

u = The initial velocity of the penny = 0 m/s for the penny initially at rest

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

h = The height from which the penny was dropped = 150 m

∴ v² ≈ 0² + 2 × 9.81 × 150 = 2,943

v ≈ √2,943 ≈ 54.25

The final velocity of the penny before it hits the ground, v ≈ 54.25 m/s

2. Here, the initial velocity, u = 80 km/h = 80 km/h × 1000 m/km × 1 h/(60 × 60 s) = 200/9 m/s = 22.\overline 2 m/s

The height of supreme scream, h_T = 90 meters

The height at which the velocity is required, h = 45 meters

From v² = u² + 2·g·h, we get;

v² = 22.\overline 2² + 2 × 9.81 × 45 ≈ 1,376.73

∴ v = √1,376.73 ≈ 37.10

The velocity 'v' after falling 45 meters is, v = 37.10 m/s

3. The height of the smaller hill, h = 5 meters

The running start = 4 m/s = The initial velocity

The velocity required to reach the height, h, of the smaller heal v = √(2·g·h)

∴ v = √(2 × 9.81 m/s² × 5 m) ≈ 9.9 m/s

The height 'h'' up the larger hill that will give a velocity, 'v', at the bottom of the smaller hill of approximately 9.9 m/s with an initial velocity, u = 4 m/s, is given as follows;

v² = u² + 2·g·h'

9.9² = 4² + 2 × 9.81 × h'

∴ h' = 9.9²/(4² + 2 × 9.81) ≈ 2.75

Given that the running start is 40 m/s, the height up the hill one can start without going over the smaller hill, h' ≈ 2.75 meters
