What is the number of electrons that move past a point in a wire carrying 500 A of current in 4.0 minutes

Physics

The current is defined as the amount of charge Q that passes through a given point of a wire in a time \Delta t:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
Since I=500 A and the time interval is
\Delta t=4.0 min=240 s
the charge is
Q=I \Delta t=(500 A)(240 s)=1.2 \cdot 10^5 C

One electron has a charge of q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C, therefore the number of electrons that pass a point in the wire during 4 minutes is
N= \frac{Q}{q}= \frac{1.2 \cdot 10^5 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C}=7.5 \cdot 10^{23} electrons

solong [7]

Answer:

0.71 m/s

Explanation:

We find the time it takes the stone to hit the water.

Using y = ut - 1/2gt² where y = height of bridge, u = initial speed of stone = 0 m/s, g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s² (negative since it is directed downwards)and t = time it takes the stone to hit the water surface.

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

y = ut - 1/2gt²

82.2 m = (0m/s)t - 1/2( -9.8 m/s²)t²

82.2 m = 0 + (4.9 m/s²)t²

82.2 m =  (4.9 m/s²)t²

t²  = 82.2 m/4.9 m/s²

t² = 16.78 s²

t = √16.78 s²

t = 4.1 s

This is also the time it takes the raft to move from 5.04 m before the bridge to 2.13 m before the bridge. So, the distance moved by the raft in time t = 4.1 s is 5.04 m - 2.13 m = 2.91 m.

Since speed = distance/time, the raft's speed v = 2.91 m/4.1 s = 0.71 m/s

On a winter day with a temperature of -10°C, 500g of snow (water ice) is brought inside where the temperature is 18 °C. The snow
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of ice m = 500g = .5 kg

Heat required to raise the temperature of ice by 10 degree

= mass of ice x specific heat of ice x change in temperature

= .5 x 2093 x 10 J

10465 J

Heat required to melt the ice

= mass of ice x latent heat

0.5 x 334 x 10³ J

167000 J

Heat required to raise its temperature to 18 degree

= mass x specific heat of water x rise in temperature

= .5 x 4182 x 18

=37638 J

Total heat

=10465 +167000+ 37638

=215103 J
