Each electron provides a charge of -1.602 × 10^-19 coulombs.

If there are 8.51 × 10^-6 extra electrons:

1 electron ­____________ -1.602 × 10^-19 coulombs

8.51 × 10^6 electrons___x = -1.602 × 10^-19*8.51 × 10^6/1=-1.32× 10^-12 coulombs

So the extra electrons provide a charge of 1.32× 10^-12 coulombs.

So the net charge is -1.32× 10^-12 coulombs (there are more electrons besides those extra electrons, but there are also protons, so they don’t affect the net charge – the other electrons just compensate the charge of the protons).

A rectangular field is to be enclosed on four sides with a fence. Fencing costs $2 per foot for two opposite sides, and $3 per f
borishaifa [10]
<h2>Dimension for cheap enclose = 32.45 ft x 23.52 ft</h2>

Explanation:

Area of rectangular field, A = 830 ft²

Length = l

Width = w

So we have

                 l x w = 830

                    l=\frac{830}{w}

Fencing costs $2 per foot for two opposite sides, and $3 per foot for the other two sides.

            Cost for fencing, C = 2 x 2 x w + 3 x 2 x l = 4 w + 6 l

             C=4w+6\times \frac{830}{w}

For minimum cost we have derivative is zero

           dC=4\times dw-6\times \frac{830}{w^2}\times dw\\\\0=4\times dw-6\times \frac{830}{w^2}\times dw\\\\w^2=1245\\\\w=32.45ft\\\\lw=830\\\\l\times 32.45=830\\\\l=23.52ft

Dimension for cheap enclose = 32.45 ft x 23.52 ft

MATHPHYS PLEASE HELP
solmaris [256]

Explanation:

Momentum is mass times speed.

p = mv

a) p = (1500 kg) (25.0 m/s) = 37,500 kg m/s

b) p = (40,000 kg) (1.00 m/s) = 40,000 kg m/s

The truck has more linear momentum.

Momentum in the y direction:

pᵧ = (1500 kg) (25.0 m/s) = 37,500 kg m/s

Momentum in the x direction:

pₓ = (1500 kg) (15.0 m/s) = 22,500 kg m/s

Total linear momentum:

p² = pₓ² + pᵧ²

p² = (22,500 kg m/s)² + (37,500 kg m/s)²

p = 43,700 kg m/s

Approximately what is the smallest detail observable with a microscope that uses ultraviolet light of frequency 1. 72 x 1015 hz?
postnew [5]

The wavelength, which represents the size of the smallest detectable detail that uses ultraviolet light  , is calculated as follows: 3×10^{8} / 1.72×10^{15} or approximately 1.74×10^{-7}m.

The distance between the two positive, two negative, or two minimal points on the waveform is known as the wavelength of the wave. The following formula expresses the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of light:

f = c / λ

where, f = frequency of light

            c = speed of light

            λ = wavelength of light

Given data = f = 1.72×10^{15}Hz

Therefore, λ = 3×10^{8} / 1.72×10^{15}

                  λ = 1.74×10^{-7}m

The wavelength, which represents the size of the smallest detectable detail that uses ultraviolet light  , is calculated as follows: 3×10^{8} / 1.72×10^{15} or approximately 1.74×10^{-7}m.

A 1056-hertz tuning fork is struck at the same time as a note on the piano and you hear 2 beats/second. You tighten the piano st
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The frequency of the piano string is <em>1059 Hz</em>.

Explanation:

The frequency beat (fb), 2 beats/second, is the absolute difference between the frequency of the tuning fork (1056 Hz) and the frequency of the piano string.

As the piano string gets tightened, the frequency beat becomes 3 beats/second.

Therefore,

fb = fb = fpiano - ftuning fork\\ 3 Hz=fpiano-1056Hz\\ fpiano=1056Hz+3Hz\\ fpiano=1059Hz

Define 1 unit electricity​
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

A unit is represented in kWH or Kilowatt Hour. This is the actual electricity or energy used. If you use 1000 Watts or 1 Kilowatt of power for 1 hour then you consume 1 unit or 1 Kilowatt-Hour (kWh) of electricity.
