If the 3 ohm resistor is in parallel to the 12 ohm (I can't see it in the image) then the current through it is 12V/3ohm = 4A Amps are Coulombs/s The charge on the electron is 1.6e-19C So 4 amps means 4/1.6e-19 = 2.5e19 electrons/s.
The reciprocal of this gives the number of electrons per second:
1/2.5e19 = 4e-20 s/(elect. charge)
The power in the 3 ohm resistor is 12*4=48W. This is Joules/sec. We know it takes on average 4e-20 s to get one electron charge through the resistor so we multiply: 48W * 4e-20s = 1.9e-18J
Note: In reality there are many electrons moving through the resistor together, and a single electron does not move this fast, but the total energy to do it would be equivalent to this.

The logarithm of x, written log(x), tells you the power to which you would raise 10 to get x. So, if y=log(x), then x=10^y. It i

fomenos

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the rules and concepts related to logarithmic operations.

From the definition of logarithm we know that,

$Log_{10}(10) = 1$

In this way for the given example we have that a logarithm with base 10 expressed in the problem can be represented as,

$log_{10}(1,000,000)$

We can express this also as,

$log_{10}(10^6)$

By properties of the logarithms we know that the logarithm of a power of a number is equal to the product between the exponent of the power and the logarithm of the number.

So this can be expressed as

$6*log_{10}(10)$

Since the definition of the base logarithm 10 of 10 is equal to 1 then

$6*1=6$

The value of the given logarithm is equal to 6

Part complete How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per five seconds?

shtirl [24]

Answer:

$L=6.21m$

Explanation:

For the simple pendulum problem we need to remember that:

$\frac{d^{2}\theta}{dt^{2}}+\frac{g}{L}sin(\theta)=0$ ,

where $\theta$ is the angular position, t is time, g is the gravity, and L is the length of the pendulum. We also need to remember that there is a relationship between the angular frequency and the length of the pendulum:

$\omega^{2}=\frac{g}{L}$ ,

where $\omega$ is the angular frequency.

There is also an equation that relates the oscillation period and the angular frequeny:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$ ,

where T is the oscillation period. Now, we can easily solve for L:

$(\frac{2\pi}{T})^{2}=\frac{g}{L}\\\\L=g(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}\\\\L=9.8(\frac{5}{2\pi})^{2}\\\\L=6.21m$

Scrat [10]

Answer: food, water, habitat, and mate.

Explanation: The common limiting factors in an ecosystem are food, water, habitat, and mate. The availability of these factors will affect the carrying capacity of an environment. As population increases, food demand increases as well
