Electrons are a stable sub atomic particle that has a negative charge and is found in all atoms and is the main carrier of electricity through solids.

In a metal, some of the electrons can escape from the atoms and are free to move around inside the metal. These electrons are referred to as 'conduction electrons'. 

<span>A current is a flow of charge. In metal a current is the flow of the conduction electrons through the metal. This can occur when connected to battery for example: The battery pumps the conduction electrons around the circuit. </span>

A 20 liter cylinder of helium at a pressure of 150 atm and a temperature of 27ÁC is used to fill a balloon at 1.00 atm and 37ÁC.
djyliett [7]

<u>Answer</u>

D) 3100 Liters


<u>Explanation</u>

To get the volume if the balloon you need to use the combined equation of the low of gases.

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

(20×150)/(27+273) = (1×V₂)/(37+273)

3000/300 = V₂/310

10 = V₂/310

V₂ = 10 × 310

    = 3100 Liters

How many minutes would it take a light wave to travel from the planet Venus to Earth? (Average distance from Venus to Earth = 28
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

t=2.51min

Explanation:

The time taken by the light to travel a given distance is defined as:

t=\frac{d}{c}

Here c is obviously the speed of light. Now we convert the average distance form Venus to Earth to meters:

28*10^{6}mi*\frac{1609.34}{1mi}=4.51*10^{10}m

Finally, we calculate the minutes taken by the light to travel from Venus to Earth:

t=\frac{4.51*10^{10}m}{3*10^8\frac{m}{s}}\\t=150.33s*\frac{1min}{60s}=2.51min

5. Susan exerted 400 newtons of force while pushing on a huge boulder. The boulder moved 0 meters. Calculate work.
Stells [14]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

Work is the product of force and distance in the direction of force.

The formula is ; Work = Force * Distance

Given that :

Force = 400 N

Distance = 0 meters

Work = 400 * 0 = 0 J

No work was done because the boulder did not move.

If the caffeine concentration in a particular brand of soda is 2.97 mg/oz, 2.97 mg/oz, drinking how many cans of soda would be l
Ray Of Light [21]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

     Concentration of caffeine = 2.97 mg/oz

     Number of oz in a can = 12 oz

Therefore, the concentration of caffeine in one can is calculated as follows.

                 = (12 \times 2.97) mg

                 = 35.64 mg

                 = 35.64 \times 10^{-3} g

Since, it is given that lethal dose is 10.0 g. Hence, number of cans are calculated as follows.

     No. of cans = \frac{\text{Lethal dose}}{\text{concentration in one can}}

                         = \frac{10 g}{35.64 \times 10^{-3} g}

                         = 280.58

                         = 281 (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that 281 cans of soda would be lethal.
