Answer:

1 C

Explanation:

The intensity of electric current is defined as

I=\frac{q}{t}

where

I is the current

q is the amount of charge transferred

t is the time interval during which the charge is transferred

For the lightning in this problem, we have

I=2.50\cdot 10^4 A is the current

t=40.0 \mu s = 40.0\cdot 10^{-6} s is the time interval

Solving the formula for q, we find the amount of charge transferred:

q=I t = (2.50\cdot 10^4 A)(40.0\cdot 10^{-6}s)=1 C

Is it possible for an object to be in motion without any external force applied? justify
Rudiy27
Newton’s first law is commonly stated as:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion.
However, this is missing an important element related to forces. We could expand it by stating:
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
By the time Newton came along, the prevailing theory of motion—formulated by Aristotle—was nearly two thousand years old. It stated that if an object is moving, some sort of force is required to keep it moving. Unless that moving thing is being pushed or pulled, it will simply slow down or stop. Right?
This, of course, is not true. In the absence of any forces, no force is required to keep an object moving. An object (such as a ball) tossed in the earth’s atmosphere slows down because of air resistance (a force). An object’s velocity will only remain constant in the absence of any forces or if the forces that act on it cancel each other out, i.e. the net force adds up to zero. This is often referred to as equilibrium. The falling ball will reach a terminal velocity (that stays constant) once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.

A particular balloon can be stretched to a maximum surface area of 1257 cm2. The balloon is filled with 3.1 L of helium gas at a
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The ballon will brust at

<em>Pmax = 518 Torr ≈ 0.687 Atm </em>

<em />

<em />

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem we are going to use the ideal gass law

PV = nRT

Where n (number of moles) and R are constants (in the present case)

Therefore, we can relate to thermodynamic states with their respective pressure, volume and temperature.

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2} --- (*)

Our initial state is:

P1 = 754 torr

V1 = 3.1 L

T1 = 294 K

If we consider the final state at which the ballon will explode, then:

P2 = Pmax

V2 = Vmax

T2 = 273 K

We also know that the maximum surface area is: 1257 cm^2

If we consider a spherical ballon, we can obtain the maximum radius:

R_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{A_{max}}{4 \pi}}

Rmax = 10.001 cm

Therefore, the max volume will be:

V_{max} = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_{max}^3

Vmax = 4 190.05 cm^3 = 4.19 L

Now, from (*)

P_{max} = P_1 \frac{V_1T_2}{V_2T_1}

Therefore:

Pmax= P1 * (0.687)

That is:

Pmax = 518 Torr

What is the main promblem with survey research?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

A major problem in all survey research is that respondents are almost always self-selected. Not everyone who receives a survey is likely to answer it, no matter how many times they are reminded or what incentives are offered.

Explanation:

<em><u>DISADVANTAGES</u></em>

Respondents may not feel encouraged to provide accurate, honest answers.

Respondents may not feel comfortable providing answers that present themselves in a unfavorable manner.

Respondents may not be fully aware of their reasons for any given answer because of lack of memory on the subject, or even boredom.

HAVE A GOOD DAY!

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The chemical formula for the molecule is C_4H_9O_2

Explanation :

Molecular formula : It is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Structural formula : It is a formula in which the lines are used between the bonded atoms and the atoms are also shown in the structural formula.

In the structural formula, the lines are used between the atoms.

As per given information of compound we conclude that, there are 4 carbon atoms, 9 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms.

Thus, the chemical formula for the given molecule will be,  C_4H_9O_2
