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.

<span>Weight of the skydiver m = 500 N
 Terminal velocity V = 90 km/h
 Here the weight of the person acts as the force, so based on the Newton's third law the applied is the force what we but in the opposite direction making the resistance. So the air resistance exerted on Suzie will be her weight that is 500N</span>

A container with rigid walls is filled with 4.0 mol of air with Cv=2.5R Then the temperature is increased from 17 degrees C to 3
galina1969 [7]

Explanation:

Internal energy = heat + work

U = Q + W

Since there's no change in volume (rigid walls), W = 0.

U = Q

U = n Cᵥ ΔT

U = (4.0 mol) (2.5 × 8.314 J/mol/K) (354 C − 17 C)

U = 28,000 J
