A typical lightning bolt has about 10.0 c of charge. how many excess electrons are in a typical lightning bolt?

2 answers:

5 0

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.

A projectile is launched from the ground at an angle of 60o above the horizontal. At what point in its trajectory does it have t

Elodia [21]

Answer:

It's constant everywhere in its trajectory.

Explanation:

the projectile was launched with an initial velocity, the only acceleration that is affecting the projectile's velocity is gravity.

The acceleration of gravity is practically equal everywhere on earth, so during its trajectory, we have to take into consideration only the acceleration because of gravity.

This is only correct because the projectile was launched with an initial velocity and it's not accelerating from rest and then falls.

Car A hits car B (initially at rest and of equal mass) from behind while going 15 m/s Immediately after the collision, car B mov

Mamont248 [21]

Given :

Initial speed of car A is 15 m/s and initial speed of car B is zero.

Final speed of car A is zero and final speed of car B is 10 m/s.

To Find :

What fraction of the initial kinetic energy is lost in the collision.

Solution :

Initial kinetic energy is :

$K.E_i = \dfrac{15^2m}{2} + 0\\\\K.E_i = \dfrac{225 m}{2}$

Final kinetic energy is :

$K.E_f = \dfrac{10^2m}{2} + 0\\\\K.E_f = \dfrac{100m}{2}$

Now, fraction of initial kinetic energy loss is :

$Loss = \dfrac{\dfrac{225m}{2}-\dfrac{100m}{2}}{\dfrac{100m}{2}}\\\\Loss = \dfrac{125}{100}\\\\Loss = 1.25$

Therefore, fraction of initial kinetic energy loss in the collision is 1.25 .

Which statement is correct?

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The answer is "Choice C ".

Explanation:

The relationship between the E and V can be defined as follows:

$\to E= -\Delta V$

Let,

$\to E= \frac{\delta V}{\delta x}$

When E=0

$\to \frac{\delta V}{\delta x}=0$

v is a constant value

Therefore, In the electric potential in a region is a constant value then the electric-field must be into zero that is everywhere in the given region, that's why in this question the "choice c" is correct.

A baseball diamond is a square (don’t be fooled that it is usually shown rotated by 45°). Each side of the square is 90 feet lon

gayaneshka [121]

A line from second to home creates a right triangle with 45 degree angles.

This makes the diagonal line the side length of the square multiplied by the sqrt(2)

Second to home = 90sqrt(2) = 127.279 feet ( round answer as needed)
