A current of 0.92 a flows in a wire. how many electrons are flowing past any point in the wire per second? the charge on one ele
Fantom [35]
The current is defined as the ratio between the charge Q flowing through a certain point of a wire and the time interval, \Delta t:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
First we need to find the net charge flowing at a certain point of the wire in one second, \Delta t=1.0 s. Using I=0.92 A and re-arranging the previous equation, we find
Q=I \Delta t= (0.92 A)(1.0 s)=0.92 C

Now we know that each electron carries a charge of e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C, so if we divide the charge Q flowing in the wire by the charge of one electron, we find the number of electron flowing in one second:
N= \frac{Q}{q} = \frac{0.92 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C}=5.75 \cdot 10^{18}

What type of energy is released when a firecracker explodes
Ludmilka [50]

-- Sound energy.  That's how you hear it explode.

-- Light energy.  That's how you see it in the sky.

-- Heat energy.  That's why you get burned if sparks fall on you.

-- Potential energy, as all the pieces fall to the ground.

These were all stored in it as chemical energy before it exploded.

The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s2. What is the gravitational potential energy of a 1200-kg lander resting
faltersainse [42]

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The equation for gravitational potential energy is GPE = mgh. 


GPE = 1200(1.6)(350) = 672000 J


Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
