A strong lightning bolt transfers an electric charge of about 31 C to Earth (or vice versa). How many electrons are transferred?

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

$m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g$

$n_e=1.935\times 10^{20}$ is the no. of electrons

Explanation:

Given:

quantity of charge transferred, $Q=31\ C$

No. of electrons in the given amount of charge:

As we have charge on one electron $1.602\times 10^{-19}\ C$

so,

$n_e=\frac{Q}{e}$

$n_e=\frac{31}{1.602\times 10^{-19}}$

$n_e=1.935\times 10^{20}$ is the no. of electrons

Now if each water molecules donates one electron:

Then we require $n=1.935\times 10^{20}$ molecules.

Now the no. of moles in this many molecules:

$n_m=\frac{n}{N_A}$

where

$N_A=6.022\times 10^{23}$ Avogadro No.

$n_m=\frac{1.935\times 10^{20}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}$

$n_m=3.213\times 10^{-4}\ moles$

We have molecular mass of water as M=18 g/mol.

So, the mass of water in the obtained moles:

$n_m=\frac{m}{M}$

where:

m = mass in gram

$3.213\times 10^{-4}=\frac{m}{18}$

$m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g$

In a double-slit experiment, light from two monochromatic light sources passes through the same double slit. The light from the

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

533.33 nm

Explanation:

Since dsinθ = mλ for each slit, where m = order of slit and λ = wavelength of light. Let m' = 10 th order fringe of the first slit of wavelength of light, λ = 640 nm and m"= 12 th order fringe of the second slight of wavelength of light, λ'.

Since the fringes coincide,

m'λ = m"λ'

λ' = m'λ/m"

= 10 × 640 nm/12

= 6400 nm/12

= 533.33 nm

What is difference between non uniform and uniform circular motion?

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The object in a uniform motion covers same distances in an equal time period. Objects in a non-uniform motion cover dissimilar distances in an equal time period.

Explanation:

The speed of the object traveling in uniform motion is constant, the actual speed and the average speed of the moving body is same.

A rectangular tank is filled to a depth of 10m with freshwater and open to air at atmospheric pressure.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

1. 39068.07 N

2. 19534.036 N

Explanation:

depth of water h = 10 m

atmospheric pressure Patm = 101325 Pa

density of water p = 1000 kg/m^3

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.81 m/s^2

pressure due to depth of water = pgh

P = 1000 x 9.81 x 10 = 98100 Pa

total pressure on the bottom of the tank is Patm + p = 101325 + 98100 = 199425 Pa

Left plug has diameter = 50 cm = 0.5 m

radius = 0.5/2 = 0.25 m

height = 1 cm = 0.01 m

height below tank surface = 10 - 0.01 = 9.99

pressure at this depth = 1000 x 9.81 x 9.99 = 98001.9 Pa

total pressure = Patm + P = 101325 + 98001.9 = 199326.9 Pa

surface area of plug = π $r^{2}$ = 3.142 x $0.25^{2}$ = 0.196 $m^{2}$

force required to lift left plug = pressure x area

F = 199326.9 x 0.196 = 39068.07 N

The right side is a hemisphere with the same diameter, therefore surface area is half of the left plug

A = 0.196/2 = 0.098 $m^{2}$

force F required to lift right plug = 199326.9 x 0.098 = 19534.036 N
