It takes 20s for 3x10^6 electrons to flow through a wire ,what is the current?

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The variables we know and are given are:

time, t = 20s

Charge, Q = 3x1-^-6 electrons, which is just 3x10^-6C (C stands for Coulombs, which is the unit for Charge)

We need to find the current, I, and since we know Q and t we can substitute these values into the given equation:

I=Q/t (which if you look at what the RHS is saying, its Charge over time, or more literally means the amount of charge passing a point over a period of time)

If we substitute these values, we will get I as:

I = Q / t

I = 3x10^-6 / 20

I = 1.5x10^-7 A

Hope this helps!

You lift a large bag of flour from the floor to a 2.5m high counter, doing 400J of work in 2 seconds. How much force did you app

<h2>The man have to apply force of 160 N</h2>

Explanation:

The work done to lift the bag of weight mg through height 2.5 m is 400 J

The work done can be found by relation W = mg x h

Thus mg = $\frac{W}{h}$ = $\frac{400}{2.5}$ = 160 N

Therefore the man have to apply the force of 160 N

A small metal object is tied to the end of a string and whirled round a circular path of radius 30cm. The object makes 20 oscill

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

(i) The angular speed of the small metal object is 25.133 rad/s

(ii) The linear speed of the small metal object is 7.54 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular path, r = 30 cm = 0.3 m

number of revolutions, n = 20

time of motion, t = 5 s

(i) The angular speed of the small metal object is calculated as;

$\omega = \frac{20 \ rev}{5 \ s} \times \frac{2 \pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} = \frac{40\pi \ rad}{5 \ s} = 8\pi \ rad/s = 25.133 \ rad/s$

(ii) The linear speed of the small metal object is calculated as;

$v = \omega r\\\\v = 25.133 \ rad/s \ \times \ 0.3 \ m\\\\v = 7.54 \ m/s$
