First, find how many copper atoms make up the ball: 
 moles of atoms = (49.3 g) / (63.5 g per mol of atoms) = 0.<span>77638</span><span>mol 
</span> # of atoms = (0.77638 mol) (6.02 × 10^23 atoms per mol) = 4.6738*10^23<span> atoms </span>

<span> There is normally one electron for every proton in copper. This means there are normally 29 electrons per atom:
</span> normal # electrons = (4.6738 × 10^23 atoms) (29 electrons per atom) = <span> <span>1.3554</span></span><span>× 10^25 electrons 
</span>
<span> Currently, the charge in the ball is 2.0 µC, which means -2.0 µC worth of electrons have been removed.
</span><span> # removed electrons = (-2.0 µC) / (1.602 × 10^-13 µC per electron) = 1.2484 × 10^13 electrons removed
 
</span><span> # removed electrons / normal # electrons = </span>
<span>(1.2484 × 10^13 electrons removed) / (1.3554 × 10^25 electrons) = 9.21 × 10^-13 </span>

<span> That's 1 / 9.21 × 10^13 </span>

Tim can type 2000 words at a speed of 50 words per minute bobs typing speed is 80 words per minute how much less time did bob ta
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

15 less mins will be used by Bob

Explanation:

This is because it takes Tim 2000/50= 40mins to type the whole work

While it takes Bob 2000/80= 25 mins

So the difference 40-25= 15mins

Will be 15mins

An electron in a cathode-ray beam passes between 2.5cm long parallel-plate electrodes that are 6.0mm apart. A 2.1mT, 2.5-cm-wide
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

(a). The speed of electron is 1.56\times10^{7}\ m/s.

(b). The radius of electron is 4.2\ cm

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 2.5 cm

Distance = 6.0 mm

Magnetic field = 2.1 T

Potential difference = 700 V

(a). We need to calculate the electron's speed

Using formula of speed

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2eV}{m}}

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times1.6\times10^{-19}\times700}{9.1\times10^{-31}}}

v=15689290.81\ m/s

v=1.56\times10^{7}\ m/s

(b). We need to calculate the radius of electron

Using formula of centripetal force

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=qvB

r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}

Where,

m = mass of electron

v = speed of electron

r = radius

q = charge of electron

B = magnetic field

Put the value into the formula

r=\dfrac{9.1\times10^{-31}\times1.56\times10^{7}}{1.6\times10^{-19}\times2.1\times10^{-3}}

r=0.042\ m

r=4.2\ cm

Hence, (a). The speed of electron is 1.56\times10^{7}\ m/s.

(b). The radius of electron is 4.2 cm

Why can you get a shock if you touch a metal doorknob after walking across a wool carpet? (1 Point) You have gained electrons; t
GenaCL600 [577]

Why can you get a shock if you touch a metal doorknob after walking across a wool carpet is because you have gained neutrons; the doorknob has fewer electrons. This is further explained below.

<h3>What are electrons?</h3>

Electrons can be defined as a stable subatomic particles with a negative electrical charge that is found in all atoms and serves as the major carrier of electricity in solids.

In conclusion, You have an unbalanced charge, while the doorknob is neutral. you have gained neutrons; the doorknob has fewer electrons.
