Answer: 12.8 A

Explanation:

Current is defined as the rate of flow of electric charge based on the formula:

I(current) = deltaQ(change in charge)/deltat(change in time).

First, however, we must convert the number of electrons into the number of coulombs. Based on the fact that the charge of 1 electron or 1 elementary charge is equal to 1.6*10^-19 C, we can calculate:

3.2*10^20 e = 1.6*10^-19*3*10^20 C = 51.2 C.

Now we use: I = Q/t = 51.2/4 = 12.8 A.

Hope this helped.

Answer:

1. Lateral inversion is a phenomenon in which left appears to be right and vice versa. It is due to direction that light follows when it strikes a reflecting surface, generally a mirror.

These are the letters which don't show lateral inversion A,H,O,T,U

2. USES OF CONCAVE MIRROR

They are used as shaving mirrors to see a larger image of the face.

Dentists use concave mirrors to view large images of the teeth of the patients.

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The elevator's free-body diagram has three forces, the force of gravity, a downward normal force from you, and an upward force from the tension in the cable holding the elevator. The combined system of you + elevator has two forces, a combined force of gravity and the tension in the cable.

When light shines through atomic hydrogen gas, it is seen that the gas absorbs light readily at a wavelength of 91.63 nm. What i
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

D) 21

Explanation:

When gas absorbs light , electron at lower level jumps to higher level .

and the difference of energy of orbital is equal to energy of radiation absorbed.

Here energy absorbed is equivalent to wavelength of 91.63 nm

In terms of its energy in eV , its energy content is eual to

1243.5 / 91.63 = 13.57 eV. This represents the difference the energy of orbit .

Electron is lying in lowest or first level ie n = 1.

Energy of first level

= - 13.6 / 1² = - 13.6 eV.

Energy of n th level = - 13.6 / n². Let in this level electron has been excited

Difference of energy

= 13.6 - 13.6 / n² = 13.57 ( energy of absorbed radiation)

13.6 / n² = 13.6 - 13.57 = .03

n² = 13.6 / .03 = 453

n = 21 ( approx )

Water flows through a horizontal pipe of varying cross-section. In the first section, the cross-sectional area is 10 cm2 and flo
Stels [109]

Answer:

(a) the flow speed of the second section is 11 m/s

(b) the pressure of the second section is 6.33 x 10⁴ Pa

Explanation:

Given;

flow rate in the first section, Q₁ = 2750 cm³/sec

area of the first cross section, A₁ = 10 cm²

pressure in the first cross section, P₁ = 1.2 x 10⁵ Pa

area of the second section, A₂ = 2.5 cm²

(a) the flow speed of the second section (V₂)

Apply continuity equation;

Q₁ = Q₂

Q₁ = A₂V₂

V₂ = Q₁ / A₂

V₂ = (2750) / (2.5)

V₂ = 1100 cm/s = 11 m/s

(b) the pressure of the second section (P₂)

Apply Bernoulli's equation;

P₁ + ¹/₂ρV₁² = P₂ + ¹/₂ρV₂²

where;

ρ is density of water = 1000 kg/m³

V₁ is the speed of water in the first section;

Q₁ = A₁V₁

V₁ = Q₁ / A₁

V₁ = (2750) / (10)

V₁ = 275 cm/s = 2.75 m/s

P₂ = P₁ + ¹/₂ρV₁² - ¹/₂ρV₂²

P₂ = P₁ + ¹/₂ρ(V₁² - V₂²)

P₂ = 1.2 x 10⁵ Pa + ¹/₂ x 1000 (2.75² - 11²)

P₂ = 1.2 x 10⁵ Pa + 500(-113.438)

P₂ = 1.2 x 10⁵ Pa - 0.567  x 10⁵ Pa

P₂ = 0.633 x 10⁵ Pa

P₂ = 6.33 x 10⁴ Pa
