Your first response has it right. Weight is determined by gravity. To understand this better, it’s helpful to think of mass as the “stuff” that an object is made of. All of it’s atoms. All of them. This amount doesn’t change whether you’re on earth or the moon, for example. You are you in both places. Your weight however, changes from earth to the moon, because the gravity, or force that pulls you and the earth together, is different from the gravity of the moon. The earth and you are attracted more strongly and you therefore have a greater weight. If you were on Jupiter you’d weigh even more than you do on earth. Much, much more.

A small but measurable current of 3.8 × 10-10 A exists in a copper wire whose diameter is 2.5 mm. The number of charge carriers

Karolina [17]

Answer:

a) 4.9*10^-6

b) 5.71*10^-15

Explanation:

Given

current, I = 3.8*10^-10A

Diameter, D = 2.5mm

n = 8.49*10^28

The equation for current density and speed drift is

J = I/A = (ne) Vd

A = πD²/4

A = π*0.0025²/4

A = π*6.25*10^-6/4

A = 4.9*10^-6

Now,

J = I/A

J = 3.8*10^-10/4.9*10^-6

J = 7.76*10^-5

Electron drift speed is

J = (ne) Vd

Vd = J/(ne)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/(8.49*10^28)*(1.60*10^-19)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/1.3584*10^10

Vd = 5.71*10^-15

Therefore, the current density and speed drift are 4.9*10^-6

And 5.71*10^-15 respectively

How far will a car travel if its velocity is 15 m/s in 3 seconds? Follow example below.

svet-max [94.6K]

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Distance (d) = 112 m
Time (t) = 4 seconds
Let the speed be v.
We know, speed = Distance / Time
Therefore, v = d/t

or, v = 112 m ÷ 4 s = 28 m/s

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The speed of the cheetah is 28 m/s.

Consider the addition of an electron to the following atoms from the fourth period. Rank the atoms in order from the most negati

Murrr4er [49]

Electron configurations:

Ge: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p2 => 6 electrons in the outer shell

Br: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p5 => 7 electrons in the outer shell

Kr: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p6 => 8 electrons in the outer shell

The electron affinity or propension to attract electrons is given by the electronic configuration. Remember that the most stable configuration is that were the last shell is full, i.e. it has 8 electrons.

The closer an atom is to reach the 8 electrons in the outer shell the bigger the electron affinity.

Of the three elements, Br needs only 1 electron to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has the biggest electron affinity (the least negative).

Ge: needs 2 electrons to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has a smaller (more negative) electron affinity than Br.

Kr, which is a noble gas, has 8 electrons and is not willing to attract more electrons at all, the it has the lowest (more negative) electron affinity of all three to the extension that really the ion is so unstable that it does not make sense to talk about a number for the electron affinity of this atom.
