A strong lightning bolt transfers an electric charge of about 16 C to Earth (or vice versa). How many electrons are transferred?

Avogadro’s number is 6.022 × 1023 /mol, and the elemental charge is 1.602 × 10−19 C.

Answer:

Number of electrons, n=9.98\times 10^{19}

Explanation:

A strong lightning bolt transfers an electric charge of about 16 C to Earth, q = 16 C

We need to find the number of electrons that transferred. Let there are n electrons transferred. It is given by using quantization of electric charge as :

q = ne

n=\dfrac{q}{e}

e is elemental charge

n=\dfrac{16}{1.602\times 10^{-19}}

n=9.98\times 10^{19}

So, there are 9.98\times 10^{19} electrons that gets transferred. Hence, this is the required solution.

calculate the period of a wave whose frequency is 5 Hertz and whose wavelength is one centimeter give your answer in a decimal f
olga2289 [7]
The period of the wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.

       1 / (5 per second)  =  0.2 second .

The wavelength is irrelevant to the period.  But since you
gave it to us, we can also calculate the speed of the wave.

Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)

                   = (5 per second) x (1cm)  =  5 cm per second

5. What is the amount of force required to accelerate a 20 kg object at a rate of 5 m/sz?
GenaCL600 [577]

Force required is 100 N

<u>Given that;</u>

Rate of acceleration = 5 m/s²

Mass of object = 20kg

<u>Find:</u>

Force required

<u>Computation:</u>

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Force required = Rate of acceleration × Mass of object

Force required = 20 × 5

Force required = 100 N
