Answer:

1.) Current = 213.33A

2.) Potential difference = 3200 V

Explanation:

Given that

Number of electrons n = 4 x 10^21 electrons

Resistance R = 15 ohm

Time t = 3 s

From the definition of current ;

Current is the rate of flow of changes. That is,

Current I = Q/t

Where

Q = 4 × 10^21 × 1.6 × 10^-19

Q = 460C

Current I = 460/3

Current I = 213.33 A

Using Ohms law which state that

V = IR

Substitute the resistance R and current I into the formula above

Potential difference V = 213.3 × 15

Potential difference V = 3200 V

The photons of different light waves:

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: contain different amounts of energy

Explanation:

The energy $E$ of a photon is given by:

$E=h\nu$

Where:

$h=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s}$ is the Planck constant

$\nu$ is the frequency of the light which is inversely related to the wavelength.

Now, if we have photons of different light waves, this means we have photons with different frequencies.

As the energy of the photon depends on its frequency:

Photons of different light waves <u>contain different amounts of energy.</u>

Why does a light go out when you turn off the wall switch?

Nadusha1986 [10]

A light goes out when you turn off the wall switch because <u />B. the switch causes a break in the circuit.
Since there is a break in the circuit, electricity cannot come through to the bulb, which is why there is no light anymore.

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. Complete the following statemen

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4

Explanation:

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. The centripetal acceleration is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v^2}{R}$

We need to find how the "centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4"

It can be done by keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4 such that,

R' = R/4

New centripetal acceleration will be,

$a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R'}$

$a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R/4}$

$a'=4\times \dfrac{v^2}{R}$

$a'=4\times a$

So, the centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4.
