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 your summer lunar space camp activities is to launch a 1090 kg rocket from the surface of the Moon. You are a serious spa
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

ΔP.E = 6.48 x 10⁸ J

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon:

g = GM/R²

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

M = Mass of moon = 7.36 x 10²² kg

R = Radius of Moon = 1740 km = 1.74 x 10⁶ m

Therefore,

g = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(7.36 x 10²² kg)/(1.74 x 10⁶ m)²

g = 2.82 m/s²

now the change in gravitational potential energy of rocket is calculated by:

ΔP.E = mgΔh

where,

ΔP.E = Change in Gravitational Potential Energy = ?

m = mass of rocket = 1090 kg

Δh = altitude = 211 km = 2.11 x 10⁵ m

Therefore,

ΔP.E = (1090 kg)(2.82 m/s²)(2.11 x 10⁵ m)

<u>ΔP.E = 6.48 x 10⁸ J</u>

Q.Solve the following circuit find total resistance RT. Also find value of voltage across resister RC.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

14.57 ohms

Explanation:

Here in the figure ,Rb & R₄are in series  & also  Rc & R₅ are in series. As they are in series , ( Rb + R₄ ) & (Rc & R₅) are in parallel . So the equivalent resistance in that branch = ( 2 + 18 ) ║ ( 3 + 12 )

                                          = 20 ║ 15

                                          = (20×15) / (20 + 15)

                                          = 8.57 ohms

Also Ra ( 6 ohm ) is in series with that branch ,. So the equivalent resistance of the whole circuit = 8.57 + 6 = 14.57 ohms.
