Answer:
1.90×10²⁰ Electrons
Explanation:
From the question,
Q = It.................... Equation 1
Where Q = charge flowing through the wire, I = current, t = time
Given: I = 4.35 A, t = 7.00 s
Substitute these values into equation 1
Q = 4.35(7.00)
Q = 30.45 C.
But,
1 electron contains 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ C
therefore,
30.45 C = 30.45/1.6×10⁻¹⁹ electrons
= 1.90×10²⁰ Electrons
First of all, that equation is not correct, which may be the reason
that you're having trouble assigning units to the quantities.
Power is defined as [energy / time], so [Energy] = [ power x time ],
and
[Time] = [ energy / power ].
Unit-wise, these equations are correct just as they appear here,
with no proportionality constants or conversion factors, when ...
[ Power ] = watts
[ Energy ] = joules
[ Time ] = seconds .
Here it is. It was too much to type on a phone....
Let's take the analogy of the baseball pitcher a step farther. When a baseball is thrown in a straight line, we already said that the ball would fall to Earth because of gravity and atmospheric drag. Let's pretend again that there is no atmosphere, so there is no drag to slow the baseball down. Now, let's assume that the person throwing the ball throws it so fast that as the ball falls towards the Earth, it also travels so far, before falling even a little, that the Earth's surface curves away from the ball's path.
In other words, the baseball falls as it did before, but the ball is moving so fast that the curvature of the Earth becomes a factor and the Earth "falls away" from the ball. So, theoretically, if a pitcher on a 100 foot (30.48 m) high hill threw a ball straight and fast enough,the ball would circle the Earth at exactly 100 feet and hit the pitcher in the back of the head once it circled the globe! The bad news for the person throwing the ball is that the ball will be traveling at the same speed as when they threw it, which is about 8 km/s or several times faster than a rifle bullet. This would be very bad news if it came back and hit the pitcher, but we'll get to that in a minute.
