Your outlets at home are rated at 120 V, i.e. the two prongs have on average a potential difference of 120V. If you transfer 2.7

moles of electrons at that voltage, how much energy is released?

Answer:

E =230.4 MJ

Explanation:

As 1 mole of electron =  6X 10^23 particles.

charge of an electron is 1.6 X 10 ^-19 C

Finding Charge:

(6X10^23 ) (2.7)(1.6X10^-19 C)

i.e. 192 K C

now  to find the energy released from electrons

V=E/q

E=V X q

i.e E = 120 V X 192 K C

E =230.4 MJ

Answer:

New Resistance = 0.5556 ohm

Explanation:

Resistance = resistivity * length /area

Here since resistivity and length are constant, we only need to see how the resistance increases or decreases with change in area.

New Area = pi * (3*D)^2 / 4

Old Area = pi * D^2 / 4

The ratio of new area / old area is :

\frac{New Area}{Old Area} = 9

Since area increases 9 times, and it is inversely proportional to resistance:

Resistance decreases by 9 times.

So, old resistance = Voltage / Current = 10 / 2 = 5 ohm

New Resistance = 5 / 9 = 0.5556 ohm    (decreases by 9 times)

You are working at a company that manufactures electri- cal wire. Gold is the most ductile of all metals: it can be stretched in
Alona [7]

Explanation:

We know that the relation between volume and density is as follows.

      Volume = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}}

So,       V = \frac{10^{-3}}{19.3 \times 10^{3} kg/m^{3}}

               = 5.181 \times 10^{-8} m^{3}

Now, we will calculate the area as follows.

      Area = \frac{\text{volume}}{\text{length}}

               = \frac{5.181 \times 10^{-8} m^{3}}{2.4 \times 10^{3}}

               = 2.15 \times 10^{-11} m^{2}

Formula to calculate the resistance is as follows.

         R = \rho \frac{l}{A}

             = \frac{2.44 \times 10^{-8} \times 2400}{}2.15 \times 10^{-11}}

             = 2.71 \times 10^{6} ohm

Thus, we can conclude that the resistance of given wire is 2.71 \times 10^{6} ohm.

A 25 kg box on a horizontal frictionless surface is moving to the right at a speed of 5.0 m s. The box hits and remains attached
seropon [69]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done by the spring is negative .

Work done by force F creating displacement  d is given by the following expression .

Work = F x d

Both force and displacement are vector quantity .

When direction of force and direction of displacement is same , work is positive . When direction of force and direction of displacement is opposite , work is negative .

When spring is compressed , it exerts a restoring or opposing force in a direction opposite to the direction of displacement of box . Hence here force is opposite to displacement . Restoring force acts opposite to displacement . Hence work done by spring on box is negative .
