8 0

Almost all the electricity used by people is produced by the 3 forms of power plants, namely fossil, hydro, and nuclear. Fossil fuel power plants burn carbon fuels such coal, oil or gas to generate steam that drives large turbines to produce electricity. Hydro power plants generate electricity by storing water in big reservoirs behind large dams. Water from the dams flows through turbines to generate electricity. Nuclear power plants use the heat produced by nuclear fission to generate steam that drives turbines, like in fossil fuel plants.

A 4.0 Ω resistor has a current of 3.0 A in it for 5.0 min. How many electrons pass 3. through the resistor during this time inte

musickatia [10]

Answer:

Number of electrons, $n=5.62\times 10^{21}$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, R = 4 ohms

Current, I = 3 A

Time, t = 5 min = 300 s

We need to find the number of electrons pass through the resistor during this time interval. Let the number of electron is n.

i.e. q = n e ...............(1)

And current, $I=\dfrac{q}{t}$

$I\times t=n\times e$

$n=\dfrac{It}{e}$

e is the charge of an electron

$n=\dfrac{3\ A\times 300\ s}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

$n=5.62\times 10^{21}$

So, the number of electrons pass through the resistor is $5.62\times 10^{21}$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A satellite is orbiting Earth in an approximately circular path. It completes one revolution each day (86,400 seconds). Its orbi

stira [4]

@AL2006 had answered this before: Well, first of all, wherever you got this question from has done
a really poor job of question-writing. There are a few assorted
blunders in the question, both major and minor ones:

-- 22,500 is the altitude of a geosynchronous orbit in miles, not km.

-- That figure of 22,500 miles is its altitude above the surface,
   not its radius from the center of the Earth.

-- The orbital period of a synchronous satellite has to match
    the period of the Earth's rotation, and that's NOT 24 hours.
    It's about 3 minutes 56 seconds less ... about 86,164 seconds.

Here's my solution to the question, using some of the wreckage
as it's given, and correcting some of it. If you turn in these answers
as homework, they'll be marked wrong, and you'll need to explain
where they came from. If that happens, well, serves ya right for
turning in somebody else's answers for homework.

The satellite is traveling a circle. The circle's radius is 26,200 miles
(not kilometers) from the center of the Earth, so its circumference
is (2 pi) x (26,200 miles) = about 164,619 miles.

    Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

   = (164,619 miles) / day
      (264,929 km)

   = 6,859 miles per hour
      (11,039 km)

   = 1.91 miles per second
      (3.07 km)

A 70 kg base runner begins his slide into second base while moving at a speed of 4.35 m/s. He slides so that his speed is zero j

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer

given,

Mass of the runner, M = 70 Kg

speed of the runner on the second base = 4.35 m/s

speed at the base = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity,g = 9.8 m/s²

a) magnitude of mechanical energy lost

Mechanical energy lost is equal top gain in kinetic energy
