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

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

a)  R = ρ₀ L /π(r_b² - R_a²) , b)  ρ₀ = V / I    π (r_b² - R_a²) / L

Explanation:

a) The resistance of a material is given by

          R = ρ l / A

where ρ is the resistivity, l is the length and A is the area

the length is l = L and the resistivity is ρ = ρ₀

the area is the area of ​​the cylindrical shell

           A = π r_b² - π r_a²

           A = π (r_b² - r_a²)

we substitute

         R = ρ₀ L /π(r_b² - R_a²)

b) The potential difference is related to current and resistance by ohm's law

         V = i R

         

we subsist the expression of resistance

          V = I ρ₀ L /π (r_b² - R_a²)

           ρ₀ = V / I    π (r_b² - R_a²) / L

A car is traveling north at 17.7 m/s . After 6 it’s velocity is 141 in the same direction. Find the magnitude and direction of t
Furkat [3]

By equation of motion we have   v = u + at

Where u = Initial velocity, v = final velocity, t = time taken and a = acceleration

Here v = 141 m/s, u = 17.7 m/s and t = 6 s

On substitution we will get

        141 = 17.7+ 6a

       So, a = (141-17.7)/6 = 20. 55 m/s^{2}

       Aceeleration = 20. 55 m/s^{2} along north direction.

What is the rising of rock layers called
Alex777 [14]

The answer of this question is called uplift i.e the rising of rock layers in geology is called uplift.

Uplift is the process in which there will be vertical elevation of earth surface due to various natural processes occurring inside the surface of earth like earth quakes. Sometimes uplift is also caused by the mountain building which hampers the balance of a particular region.

In the process of uplift,the rocks normally metamorphic rocks present underground will be brought up to the earth surface.The enhanced elevation will cause erosion of lot of materials on the surface of earth.

A 120.0 kg crate is placed on a 15.00°
Citrus2011 [14]

F = 2820.1 N

Explanation:

Let the (+)x-axis be up along the slope. The component of the weight of the crate along the slope is -mgsin15° (pointing down the slope). The force that keeps the crate from sliding is F. Therefore, we can write Newton's 2nd law along the x-axis as

Fnet = ma = 0 (a = 0 no sliding)

= F - mgsin15°

= 0

or

F = mgsin15°

= (120 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)sin15°

= 2820.1 N
