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

How do I find the speed of sound when given Frequency and displacement?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: Taking into account sound is a wave, we can use the information of the displacement (generally given as a graph) to find the wavelength and frequency, then we can calculate the speed with the formula of the speed of a wave.

Explanation:

If we have the displacement graph of the sound wave, we can find its amplitude, its wavelength and period (which is the inverse of frequency).

Now, if we additionally have the frequency as data, we can use the equation of the speed of a wave:

s=\lambda f

Where:

s is the speed of the sound wave

\lambda is the wavelength

f is the frequency

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency?(b) What is its wavelength in glass t
inn [45]

(a) 4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

The frequency of a wave is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where

v is the wave's speed

\lambda is the wavelength

For the red laser light in this problem, we have

v=c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s (speed of light)

\lambda=632.8 nm=632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m

Substituting,

f=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{632.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

(b) 427.6 nm

The wavelength of the wave in the glass is given by

\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}

where

\lambda_0 = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m is the original wavelength of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

\lambda=\frac{632.8\cdot 10^{-9}m}{1.48}=427.6\cdot 10^{-9}m=427.6 nm

(c) 2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s

The speed of the wave in the glass is given by

v=\frac{c}{n}

where

c = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s is the original speed of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.48}=2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s

An adult human is 60 percent water; a third of this water is in extracellular fluid, and 20 percent of extracellular fluid is in
Yanka [14]

Answer:

32 pounds

Explanation:

The amount of water in the 200 pound person is

200 * 60% = 200*0.6 = 120 pounds

Of the 120 pounds, a third of this is extracellular fluid, the amount of extracellular fluid is

120 / 3 = 40 pounds

20 % of this is in the blood, which amounts to

40 * 20% = 40 * 0.2 = 8 pounds

The rest is interstitial fluid, which is

40 - 8 = 32 pounds
