Answer:

The  current in the tube is 0.601 A

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the fluorescent, d = 3 cm

negative charge flowing in the fluorescent tube, -e = 3 x 10¹⁸ electrons/second

positive charge flowing in the fluorescent tube, +e = 0.75 x 10¹⁸ electrons/ second

The current in the fluorescent tube is due to presence of positive and negative charges to create neutrality in the conductor (fluorescent tube).

Q = It

I = Q/t

where;

I is current in Ampere (A)

Q is charge in Coulombs (C)

t is time is seconds (s)

1 e = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

3 x 10¹⁸ e/ s = ?

= (3 x 10¹⁸ e/s  x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C) / 1e

= 0.4806 C/s

negative charge per second (Q/t) = 0.4806 C/s

positive charge per second (Q/t) =  (0.75 x 10¹⁸ e/s  x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C) / 1e

positive charge per second (Q/t) = 0.12015 C/s

Total charge per second in the tube, Q / t = (0.4806 C/s + 0.12015 C/s)

                                                                I = 0.601 A

Therefore, the  current in the tube is 0.601 A

10. A worker uses a pulley system to raise a 24.0 kg carton 16.5 m. A force of 129 N is exerted and the rope is pulled 33.0 m. a
lozanna [386]

Answer: Machanical advantage of the machine is 1.86

Explanation: Machanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the Force to overcome which is the load in this case 24kg * 10= 240N to the force exerted(Effort) to overcome the load in this case 129N.

So, we have

MA = load/effort

= 240N/129N

= 1.86.

Pluto has been reassigned and is now a dwarf planet. Why did scientists think this reassignment was necessary? If you were a sci
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

we humans have our own ify classification for celestial objects, most people are saddened that pluto is not a planet anymore altho it hasn't changed at all.

scientist say that if an object is going to be considered a planet it must fill in these three checkboxes:

You must be spherical, you must orbit a star, and you must have already cleared your path or debris.

Pluto fills in the first two boxes but it does orbit in the keyperbelt and there are 5 other objects just like it. this is why pluto has been dubbed a dwarf planet.

Why do planets rings surround them and not the sun
Shalnov [3]

Well, the rings surrounding a planet are made out of rock. A ring surrounding the sun would be impossible since the sun can reach more than 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius.)

Hope this helped.
