Lightning occurs when there is a flow of electric charge (principally electrons) between the ground and a thundercloud. The maxi

mum rate of charge flow in a lightning bolt is about 20,000 C/s this lasts for 100 μs or less.
1.How much charge flows between the ground and the cloud in this time? (Q= ? C)
2.How many electrons flow during this time? (n_e = ? )

Answer:

1.25\times 10^{19}\ electrons

Explanation:

r = Rate of flow of charge = 20000 C/s

t = Time taken = 100 μS

Charge is given by

Q=rt\\\Rightarrow Q=20000\times 100\times 10^{-6}\\\Rightarrow Q=2\ C

The charge that flows between the ground and the cloud in this time is 2 C

Number of electrons is given by

n_e=\dfrac{Q}{e}\\\Rightarrow n_e=\dfrac{2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n_e=1.25\times 10^{19}\ electrons

The number of electrons is 1.25\times 10^{19}\ electrons

K-2/5=11k literal equations
krek1111 [17]
-2/5 = 11k - k
-2/5 = 10k
-2/5/10 = k
-2/5 * 10 = k
-2/50 = k
k = -1/25.

-1/25 - 2/5 = 11k is true.

Consider the following cyclic process carried out in two steps on a gas. Step 1: 44 J of heat is added to the gas, and 20. J of
notka56 [123]

Answer:37 J

Explanation:

Given

Step :1

Heat added Q=44 J

Work done=-20 J

\Delta E_1=Q+W=44-20=24 J

Step :2

Heat added Q=-61 J

work done W_2

\Delta E_2=Q+W_2

\Delta E_2=61+W_2

\Delta E_1+\Delta E_2=0

as the process is cyclic

44-20-61+W_2=0

W_2=37 J

work done in compression is 37 J

What happens to the energy of a wave as it moves away from its source?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

As the particles move further away from their normal position (up towards the wave crest or down towards the trough), they slow down.

Explanation:

This means that some of their kinetic energy has been converted into potential energy – the energy of particles in a wave oscillates between kinetic and potential energy. Hope that this helps you and have a great day :)
