7 0

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

CaHeK987 [17]

Explanation:

What is the weight of a 2.00-kilogram object on the surface of Earth?

2.00 N

4.91 N

9.81 N

19.6 N

Given parameters:

Mass of the object = 2kg

Unknown:

Weight of the object  = ?

Solution:

The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on the object;

 Weight  =  mass x acceleration due to gravity

Acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

    Weight  = 2 x 9.8 = 19.6N

A person weighing 785 Newtons on the surface of the Earth would weigh 47 Newtons on the surface of Pluto. What is the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration on the surface of Pluto?

1.7 m/s²

0.59 m/s²

0.29 m/s²

9.8 m/s²

Given parameters:

Weight on Earth  = 785N

Weight on Pluto = 47N

Unknown:

Acceleration due to gravity on Pluto = ?

Solution

The mass of the body both on Earth and Pluto is the same.

  Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Now find the mass on Earth;

  Acceleration due to gravity on Earth  = 9.8m/s²

    785   = mass x 9.8

         mass  = \frac{785}{9.8}   = 80.1kg

So;

  Acceleration due to gravity on Pluto = \frac{Weight on Pluto}{mass }  

  Acceleration due to gravity  = \frac{47}{80.1}   = 0.59m/s²

A string or rope will break apart if it is placed under too much tensile stress. Thicker ropes can withstand more tension withou
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer: The answer is 13.02 meter

Explanation: your question is incomplete, the complete question is this if A string or rope will break apart if it is placed under too much tensile stress. Thicker ropes can withstand more tension without breaking because the thicker the rope, the greater the cross-sectional area and the smaller the stress. One type of steel has a density of

7750kg/m3 and will break if the tensile stress exceeds 7.0×108N/m2.

You want to make a guitar string from a mass of 4.5 g of this type of steel. In use, the guitar string must be able to withstand a tension of 900 N without breaking. Your job is the following.

(a) Determine the maximum length the string can have

Answer:

As we know that density(p)= mass(m)/volume(V)

Solve for volume(V)= mass/density

If the given mass value is in gram then we have to divide it by 1000 to get the value in kilogram so our mass in kg will be 3.7/1000= 0.0037 kg

And if density is in kg/m^3

Then volume will be V= 0.0037/7730 =>

4.79^10-7m^3

Now we know that stress = Force/Area

For Area = force/stress => 900/7*10^8=> 2795.95m^2

For length= volume/Area => 4.79^10-7/2795.95

Length= 13.02 m

Consider the previous situation. Under what condition would the acceleration of the center of mass be zero? Keep in mind that F1
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

a) m₁ = m₂  F₁ₓ = F₂ₓ

b) m₁ << m₂   F₂ₓ =0

Explanation:

This interesting exercise is unclear your statement, so that in a center of mass system has an acceleration of zero it is necessary that the sum of the forces on each axis is zero, to see this we write Newton's second law

     ∑ F = m a

for acceleration to be zero implies that the net force is zero.

we must write the expression for the center of mass

        x_{cm} = 1 / M (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂)

now let's use the derivatives

      a_{cm} = d² x_{cm}/dt² = 1 / M (m₁ a₁ + m₂a₂)

where M is the total mass M = m₁ + m₂

     so that the acceleration of the center of mass is zero

               0 = 1 / M (m₁ a₁ + m₂a₂)

               m₁ a₁ = - m₂ a₂

In the case that we have components on the x axis, the modulus of the two forces are equal and their direction is opposite, therefore

   F₁ₓ = -F₂ₓ

b)r when the two masses are equal , in the case of a mass greater than the other m₁ << m₂

      acm = d2 xcm / dt2 = 1 / M (m1 a1 + m2a2)

so that the acceleration of the center of mass is zero

               0 = 1 / M (m1 a1 + m2a2)

               m1 a1 = - m 2 a2

with the initial condition, we can despise m₁, therefore

                0 = m₂a₂

 if we use Newton's second law

              F₂ = 0

       

I tell you that in this case with a very high mass difference the force on the largest mass must be almost zero

The density of gold is 19.3 g cm³. What is the mass of a bar of gold in Kg that measures 6 cm x 4 cmx to 2 cm ?
klemol [59]

Answer: 0.9264 kg

Explanation: [I'll use "cc" for cubic centimeter, instead of cm^3.

The volume is 6cm*4cm*2cm = 48 cm^3 (cc).

Density of Au is 19.3 g/cc

Mass of gold = (48 cc)*(9.3 g/cc) = 926.4 grams Au

1 kg = 1,000 g

(926.4 grams Au)*(1 kg/1,000 g) = 0.9264 kg, 0.93 kg to 2 sig figs

At gold's current price of $57,500/kg, this bar is worth $53,268. Keep it hidden from your lab partner (and instructor).
