A total of 2.0x 1013 electrons pass a given point in a wire in 15s. what is the current in the wire

The current in a wire is defined as the amount of charge that passes a given point of the wire in a given time:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
where Q is the charge and \Delta t is the time interval.

Since one electron has a charge of q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C, the total charge of 2.0 \cdot 10^{13} electrons is
Q=qN=(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C)(2.0 \cdot 10^{13} )=3.2 \cdot 10^{-6} C

And since the time interval is \Delta t=15 s, the current in the wire is
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}= \frac{3.2 \cdot 10^{-6} C}{15 s}=2.1 \cdot 10^{-7}A

A ladder 7.60 m long leans against an exterior wall. If the ladder is inclined at an angle of 68.0° to the horizontal, what is t
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

2.85 m

Explanation:

From trigonometry,

Cosine = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Assuming, The wall, the ladder and the ladder forms a right angle triangle as shown in fig 1, in the diagram attached below.

cos∅ = a/H....................... Equation 1

Where ∅ = Angle the ladder makes with the horizontal, a = The horizontal distance from the bottom of the ladder to the wall, H = The length of the ladder.

make a the subject of the equation

a = cos∅(H)..................... Equation 1

Given: ∅ = 68 °, H = 7.6 m.

Substitute into equation 2

a = cos(68)×7.6

a = 0.375×7.6

a = 2.85 m.

Hence the horizontal distance from the bottom of the ladder to the wall = 2.85 m

Calculate the distance moved by a runner who runs with a speed of 5 km/h for a period of 1.5 hours.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

7.5 km

Explanation:

h5 per hour means that he traveled 5 km in 1 our. And then half of the hour, which means half an hour 5 km which is 2.5.

5 + 2.5 = 7.5

or just 1.5 x 5 = 7.5

if a tent is touched with a finger on inner surface , when it is raining , it allows the rain water to leak through. give a reas
Nadusha1986 [10]

Explanation:

When water vapor in the air comes into contact with something cool, like the ceiling of a tent, its molecules slow down and get closer together. When that happens, the gaseous water vapor turns back into liquid water droplets. That's condensation!
