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.

One of the harmonics on a string 1.30m long has a frequency of 15.60 Hz. The next higher harmonic has a frequency of 23.40 Hz. F
Alja [10]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{(a) 7.800 Hz; (b) 20.3 m/s; 40.6 m/s; 60.8 m/s}}

Explanation:

a) Fundamental frequency

A harmonic is an integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.

\dfrac{\text{23.40 Hz}}{\text{15.60 Hz}} = \dfrac{1.500}{1} \approx \dfrac{3}{2}

f = \dfrac{\text{24.30 Hz}}{3} = \textbf{7.800 Hz}

b) Wave speed

(i) Calculate the wavelength

In a  fundamental vibration, the length of the string is half the wavelength.

\begin{array}{rcl}L & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\text{1.30 m} & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\lambda & = & \text{2.60 m}\\\end{array}

(b) Calculate the speed s

\begin{array}{rcl}v_{1}& = & f_{1}\lambda\\& = & \text{7.800 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{20.3 m/s}\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{rcl}v_{2}& = & f_{2}\lambda\\& = & \text{15.60 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{40.6 m/s}\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{rcl}v_{3}& = & f_{3}\lambda\\& = & \text{23.40 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{60.8 m/s}\\\end{array}

A refrigeration cycle has Qout = 1000 Btu and Wcycle = 300 Btu. Determine the coefficient of performance for the cycle.
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The coefficient of performance for the cycle is 2.33.

Explanation:

Given that,

Output energy Q_{out}=1000\ Btu

Work done W_{cycle}=300\ Btu

We need to calculate the coefficient of performance

Using formula of  the coefficient of performance

COP=\dftrac{Q_{in}}{W_{cycle}}

We need to calculate the Q_{in}

W_{cycle}=Q_{out}-Q_{in}

Put the value into the formula

300=1000-Q_{in}

Q_{in}=300-1000

Q_{in}=700\ Btu

Now put the value of Q_{in} into the formula of COP

COP=\dfrac{700}{300}

COP=\dfrac{7}{3}=2.33

Hence, The coefficient of performance for the cycle is 2.33.

Question - Does gum affect a student's performance in school?
Mars2501 [29]

Independent variable: the interdependent variable in this example, could be a number of things but the main one is what type of brand is the gum and what kind is it.

Dependent variable: the dependent variable is what you are trying to find so in this case, you are trying to find does gum affect a student's performance.This is the Dependent variable.

Hope I helped!

Have a nice day,
