Lightning occurs when there is a flow of electrons between the ground and thethunder cloud. The maximum rate of flow (current) i

s about 20,000 C/s (amps), andit lasts for about 100 microseconds. How much charge flows between the groundand the cloud in this time? How many electrons flow during this time?

4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

maximum rate of flow is  \frac{\mathrm{d} i}{\mathrm{d} t}=20,000\ C/s

Time of flow t=100\ \mu s

Charge flows during this process

=\frac{\mathrm{d} i}{\mathrm{d} t}\times t

Q=20,000\times 100\times 10^{-6}

Q=2\ C

(b)Total no of electron(n)

If charge on one electron is q=1.6\times 10^{-19}

n=\frac{Q}{q}=\frac{2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}=1.25\times 10^{19}

We use the radioactive decay equation for this problem which is expressed as:

An = Aoe^-kt

An is the remaining amount after time t, Ao is the initial amount and k is a constant.

First, we determine the k from the half life as follows:

An/Ao = 1/2 = e^-k(14.4)
k = 0.04814

Then, we can calculate An after 28.8 yr.

An = 1000 e^-0.04814(28.8)
An = 250 g

erica [24]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

a. a compound that conducts electricity when molten

Explanation:

A molecular is solid comprises of a collection of molecules combined together by van der Waals forces and not having covalent or ionic bonds. They are made up of forces atoms or molecules combined by dipole-dipole forces, London dispersion forces or hydrogen bonds. Exmples include graphite and diamonds. The forces between the molecules in  molecular solid is also known as intermolecular forces (IMFs)

Describe how a convection cell is created in the mantle of the Earth.
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Convection currents within Earth's mantle form as material near the core heats up. As the core heats the bottom layer of mantle material, particles move more rapidly, decreasing its density and causing it to rise. The rising material begins the convection current.Feb 24, 2012
