Answer:

The duration of the lightning bolt is 1.65 milliseconds

Explanation:

Current is a physical quantity that tells how much charge (q) pass through a specific surface, and its unit on the International system of units is the ampere (A), that is coulomb over time \frac{C}{t}. So current equation is:

I=\frac{dq}{dt}

If I is constant then the equation becomes:

I= \frac{Q}{t}

With Q the net charge

Solving for t:

t=\frac{Q}{I}=\frac{30.0C}{18.2\times10^3A}

t=1.65\times10^{-3}s=1.65 ms

Answer:

1.65\times {-3} \text { s}

Explanation:

Current is the rate of flow of charge.

I=\dfrac{Q}{t}

t = \dfrac{Q}{I}

t = \dfrac{30.0}{18.2\times10^3} =1.65\times {0-3} = 1.65\times {-3} \text { s}

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

I hear points of low volume sound and points of high volume of sound.

Explanation:

This is because, since the two sources of sound have the same frequency and are separated by a distance, d = 10 mm, there would be successive points of constructive and destructive interference.

Since their frequencies are similar, we should have beats of high and low frequency.

So, at points of low frequency, the amplitude of the wave is smallest and there is destructive interference. The frequency at this point is the difference between the frequencies from both speakers. Since the frequency from both speakers is 400 Hz, we have, f - f' = 400 Hz - 400 Hz = 0 Hz. So, the volume of the sound is low(zero) at these points.

Also, at points of high frequency, the amplitude of the wave is highest and there is constructive interference. The frequency at this point is the sum between the frequencies from both speakers. Since the frequency from both speakers is 400 Hz, we have, (f + f') = 400 Hz + 400 Hz = 800 Hz. So, the volume of the sound is high at these points.

So, as you wander around the room, I should hear points of high and low sound across the room.

We want to find how much charge is on the electrons in a nickel coin. Follow this method. A nickel coin has a mass of about 4.2
monitta

Answer:

The number of atoms is N = 4.37*10^{22} \ atoms

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

                 The mass of coin  is m_n = 4.2g

                   Number of atom in one mole = n =6.02*10^{23} \ atoms

                   Molar mass of nickel M = 57.8g

Now the relation to obtain the number of atom in  the  nickel coin is

                        N = \frac{Mass \ of Nickel\ coin}{Molar \ mass\ of nickel }  * No\ of\atoms \ in \ \ one\  mole\ of\ nickel

                           = \frac{4.2}{57.8}* 6.02*10^{23}

                           =4.37 *10^{22} atoms
