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.

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer: Solar radiation reflects off the lighter colours, away from the car, thus keeping the car cool

Explanation: This is because lighter colors reflect a good amount of radiation while darker colors absorb it. Just like, Antarctica hasn't completely melted because it reflects a lot of the heat that is acting upon it. Or, you notice that you get hotter when you wear a black shirt opposed to a white one.

A frictionless pulley used to lift 8000N of concrete. What is the minimum effort required to raise the block
rusak2 [61]

Answer: 8000N

Explanation: since it is frictionless that means it has 100% efficiency therefore the mechanical advantage is 1 meaning the load equals to the effort

hodyreva [135]
A).  Convection is heating the soup in the pot.
When you stick the spoon into the hot soup,
conduction heats the spoon all the way up to the end.

b).  Water conducts heat a little bit. 
But convection is much more responsible for the
uniform distribution of temperature in the kiddie pool.

c).  The heat from the metal bench conducts directly
to the buttus epidermis when you sit on it.

d).  You feel the heat on your face ... but not on the back of your
neck ... on account of radiation from the fire and the hot grill.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

It is seen that a tire pressure will increase or decrease 1 psi for each 10^{\circ} F  change in temperature.

For Technician B vehicle pressure should not be adjusted after tire has been warmed as the warm air may increase the pressure but it will be auto adjusted as  the temperature falls to normal .
