Answer:

His acceleration is \overrightarrow{a}=4\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that acceleration of a body is cause by a net force, the relation between them is:

\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a}

On the boy there're acting two forces, his weight (W) that points downward and the frictional force (f) that points upward (they boy moves downward and friction always is opposite to movement). So \sum\overrightarrow{F}=\overrightarrow{W}+\overrightarrow{f} so (1) is:

\overrightarrow{W}+\overrightarrow{f}=m\overrightarrow{a}

Using the positive direction downward weight and gravitational acceleration(g) are positive and friction force is negative:

W-f=m\overrightarrow{a}, solving for a:

\overrightarrow{a}=\frac{W-f}{m}, weight is mg:

\overrightarrow{a}=\frac{mg-f}{m}=\overrightarrow{f}=\frac{(80kg)(10\frac{m}{s^{2}})-(480)}{80}

\overrightarrow{a}=4\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

n = 1.56 x 10¹⁷ electrons

Explanation:

First of all, we will calculate the current passing through wire:

I = \frac{q}{t}

where,

I = current = ?

q = charge = 9 mC = 0.009 C

t = time = 3.6 s

Therefore,

I = \frac{0.009\ C}{3.6\ s}\\\\I =  0.0025\ A = 2.5\ mA

Now, for the same current in 10 s time the charge will be:

q = It = (0.0025 A)(10 s)

q = 0.025 C

Now, the number of electrons can be given as:

q = ne\\\\n = \frac{q}{e}\\\\

where,

n = no. of electrons = ?

q = charge = 0.025 C

e = charge on single electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Therefore,

n = \frac{0.025\ C}{1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C}

<u>n = 1.56 x 10¹⁷ electrons</u>

Since V is 5 times larger than C

A) 0V = 25C

25C to 0C = -25
-25 / 5 = -5

so 0C = -5 V

B)

20V x 5 = 100 C
