Answer : The total electric charge of electrons is, $-4.4\times 10^{11}C$

Explanation:

Answer : The number of electrons transferred are, $4.68\times 10^{20}$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the number of electrons.

Number of electrons = $\frac{\text{Total mass of electrons}}{\text{Mass of one electron}}$

Mass of 1 electron = $9.1\times 10^{-31}kg$

Total mass of electron = 2.5 kg

Number of electrons = $\frac{2.5kg}{9.1\times 10^{-31}kg}$

Number of electrons = $2.75\times 10^{30}$

Now we have to calculate the total electric charge of electrons.

Formula used :

$Q=ne\\\\n=\frac{Q}{e}$

where,

n = number of electrons transferred = $2.75\times 10^{30}$

Q = charge on electrons = ?

e = charge on 1 electron = $-1.602\times 10^{-19}C$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$2.75\times 10^{30}=\frac{Q}{-1.602\times 10^{-19}C}$

$Q=-4.4\times 10^{11}C$

Thus, the total electric charge of electrons is, $-4.4\times 10^{11}C$

Deep in the interiors of the giant planets, water is still a liquid even though the temperatures are tens of thousands of degree

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

High pressure inside the giant planet

Explanation:

As we move in the interior of the giant planet, the pressure and temperature in the interior of the planet increases. Since, the giant planets have hardly any solid surface and thus they are mostly constituted of atmosphere.

Also, the gravitational forces keep even the lightest of the matter bound in it contributing to the large mass of the planet.

If we look at the order of the magnitude of the temperature of these giant planets than nothing should be able to stay in liquid form but as the depth of the planet increases with the increase in temperature, pressure also increases which keeps the particle of the matter in compressed form.

Thus even at such high order of magnitude water is still found in liquid state in the interior of the planet.

A large body collides with a stationary small body from the rear end. How do the bodies behave if the collision is inelastic?.

alexdok [17]

If the collision is inelastic, there is every possibility that the large body will drag the small stationary body along with it in the direction of the collision. Some amount of heat, light and sound energy will also be produced due to the kinetic energy of the large body. I hope the answer helps you.

Which solid state component allows a mobile phone to store data even if the battery is removed

Talja [164]

Answer:

Capacitor

Explanation:

Capacitor ; A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that can store energy in an electric field electrostatically. It works as a small rechargeable battery that stores electricity. However, unlike a battery, it can charge and discharge in the split of a second. Capacitors are widely used to build different types of electronic circuits.

Traveling waves are generated on a string fixed at both ends. The string has a length L, a linear mass density m, and a tension

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: d. I or II

Explanation: A traveling wave has speed that depends on characteristics of a medium. Characteristics like linear density (μ), which is defined as mass per length.

Tension or Force ( $F_{T}$ ) is also related to the speed of a moving wave.
