If 3.2*10^20 electrons pass through a wire in 4s, what would be the electrical current in the wire?

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.

The average coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 1.7 10-5 (°c)−1. the statue of liberty is 93 m tall on a summer morning
sammy [17]

Let the rise in temperature be 5^0C

The expansion in length due to change in temperature is given by the expression lαΔt , where l is the length, α is the  coefficient of linear expansion, Δt is the change in temperature.

Here l = 93 m, α = 1.7*10^{-5}  ^0C^{-1}, and Δt = 5^0C

So expansion in length = 93*1.7*10^{-5}*5 = 0.007905 m = 0.79*10^{-3}m

So order of magnitude in change in length = -3

A ball is projected into the air with 100 j of kinetic energy which is transformed to gravitational potential energy at the top
raketka [301]
<span>when it returns to its original level after encountering air resistance, its kinetic energy is decreased. 
In fact, part of the energy has been dissipated due to the air resistance.

The mechanical energy of the ball as it starts the motion is:
</span>E=K = 100 J
<span>where K is the kinetic energy, and where there is no potential energy since we use the initial height of the ball as reference level.
If there is no air resistance, this total energy is conserved, therefore when the ball returns to its original height, the kinetic energy will still be 100 J. However, because of the presence of the air resistance, the total mechanical energy is not conserved, and part of the total energy of the ball has been dissipated through the air. Therefore, when the ball returns to its original level, the kinetic energy will be less than 100 J.</span>

A truck on a straight road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00m/s^2 until it reaches a speed of 20.0m/s. Then the truck trave
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Time to reach the speed of 20 m/s with an acceleration of 2 m/s² can be calculated as follows .

v = u + a t

20 = 0 + 2 t

t = 20 /2 = 10 s .

Total time = 10 s + 20 s + 5 s = 35 s .

b) Average velocity = Total distance travelled / total time

Distance travelled in first 10 s

S₁ = ut + 1/2 a t²

= 0 + .5 x 2 x 10²

= 100 m

Distance travelled in next 20 s

S₂= 20s x 20 m/s  = 400 m

Distance travelled in last 5 s .

deceleration in last 5 s

v = u + at

0 = 20 m/s + a x 5

a = - 4 m/s²

v² = u² - 2 a s

0 = (20 m/s)² - 2 x 4 m/s² x s

s = 50 m

S₃ = 50 m

Total distance = S₁ + S₂ + S₃

= 100 m + 400 m + 50 m

= 550 m .

Average velocity = 550 m / 35 s

= 15.71 m /s .

seraphim [82]

Answer:

change in internal energy 3.62*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in enthalapy  5.07*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in entropy 382.79 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}

Explanation:

adiabatic constant \gamma =1.4

specific heat is given as =\frac{\gamma R}{\gamma -1}

gas constant =287 J⋅kg−1⋅K−1

Cp = \frac{1.4*287}{1.4-1} = 1004.5 Jkg^{-1} k^{-1}

specific heat at constant volume

Cv = \frac{R}{\gamma -1} = \frac{287}{1.4-1} = 717.5 Jkg^{-1} k^{-1}

change in internal energy = Cv(T_2 -T_1)

                            \Delta U = 717.5 (800-295)  = 3.62*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in enthalapy \Delta H = Cp(T_2 -T_1)

                                 \Delta H = 1004.5*(800-295) = 5.07*10^5 J kg^{-1}

change in entropy

\Delta S =Cp ln(\frac{T_2}{T_1}) -R*ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})

\Delta S =1004.5 ln(\frac{800}{295}) -287*ln(\frac{8.74*10^5}{1.01*10^5})

\Delta S = 382.79 J kg^{-1} K^{-1}
