A strong lightning bolt transfers an electric charge of about 31 C to Earth (or vice versa). How many electrons are transferred?

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

$m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g$

$n_e=1.935\times 10^{20}$ is the no. of electrons

Explanation:

Given:

quantity of charge transferred, $Q=31\ C$

No. of electrons in the given amount of charge:

As we have charge on one electron $1.602\times 10^{-19}\ C$

so,

$n_e=\frac{Q}{e}$

$n_e=\frac{31}{1.602\times 10^{-19}}$

$n_e=1.935\times 10^{20}$ is the no. of electrons

Now if each water molecules donates one electron:

Then we require $n=1.935\times 10^{20}$ molecules.

Now the no. of moles in this many molecules:

$n_m=\frac{n}{N_A}$

where

$N_A=6.022\times 10^{23}$ Avogadro No.

$n_m=\frac{1.935\times 10^{20}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}$

$n_m=3.213\times 10^{-4}\ moles$

We have molecular mass of water as M=18 g/mol.

So, the mass of water in the obtained moles:

$n_m=\frac{m}{M}$

where:

m = mass in gram

$3.213\times 10^{-4}=\frac{m}{18}$

$m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g$

A boat has a mass of 7660 kg. Its engines generate a drive force of 4080 N due west, while the wind exerts a force of 680 N due

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

0.29 m/s due west.

Explanation:

According to newton's second law,

Net force acting on an object = mass×acceleration

From the question,

F+F₁+F₂ = ma................ Equation 1

Where F = The force generated from the engine, F₁ = Force exerted by the wind, F₂ = Force exerted due to the water, m = mass of the boat, a = acceleration of the boat.

Given: F = 4080 N , F₁ = -680 N(east), F₂ = -1160 N(east). m = 7660 kg

substitute into equation 1

4080-680-1160 = 7660(a)

2240 = 7660a

Therefore,

a = 2440/7660

a = 0.29 m/s due west.

Two movers are pushing a large crate with a force of 60.0 n each. one pushes north, the other east. what is the equilibrant forc

romanna [79]

To get the solution you must need to draw a force triangle. Attach the head of the 60N north force arrow with the tail of the 60N east force arrow. The subsequent is the arrow connecting he tail and head of the two arrows.
You get a right angled triangle, and the resultant is (60^2 + 60^2) ^0.5 = 84.85 N or 85 N northeast.

An iron bar has more mass than a plastic bar of the same volume. so the iron bar will have greater inertia.

Irina-Kira [14]

The response is False, both bars, iron bars and plastic bars have de same inertia, this characteristic does not depend on the type of material, the inertia depends on his transverse section, since we can estimate in the following formula

Area moment of inertia Ixx = BH3/12

Area moment of inertia Iyy= HB3/12
