The current is defined as the amount of charge transferred through a certain point in a certain time interval:
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}$
where
I is the current
Q is the charge
$\Delta t$ is the time interval

For the lightning bolt in our problem, Q=6.0 C and $\Delta t= 2.0 \cdot 10^{-3}s$ , so the average current during the event is
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{6.0 C}{2.0 \cdot 10^{-3} s}=3000 A$

__________ is the measure of the amount of disordered in a system

kolezko [41]

Entropy is the measure of the amount of disordered in a system.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In 1850, Entropy introduction by the German physicist Rudolf Clausius refers a measurement of the system's thermal energy in unit temperature. It is not for useful work because the work originates from ordered molecular motions. And, this also measures the molecular disturbance or randomness of the system.

The concept behind this provides deep view into spontaneous changes in many everyday phenomena’s. The idea of entropy is a mathematical way of coding an intuitive idea whose processes are impossible, and not violate the basic principle of energy conservation.

Estimate the magnitude of the electric field due to the proton in a hydrogen atom at a distance of

Lana71 [14]

Electric field due to a point charge is given as

$E = \frac{kq}{r^2}$

here we know that

$q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

also the distance is given as

$r = 5.29 \times 10^{-11} m$

now we will have

$E = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})}{(5.29 \times 10^{-11})^2}$

so we will have

$E = 5.14 \times 10^{11} N/C$

so above is the electric field due to proton

A mass free to vibrate on a level, frictionless surface at the end of a horizontal spring is pulled 35 cm from its equilibrium p

Answer:

0.67 s

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic motion (SHM).

The displacement, $x$ , of an SHM is given by

$x = A\cos(\omega t)$

A is the amplitude and $\omega$ is the angular frequency.

We could use a sine function, in which case we will include a phase angle, to indicate that the oscillation began from a non-equilibrium point. We are using the cosine function for this particular case because the oscillation began from an extreme end, which is one-quarter of a single oscillation, when measured from the equilibrium point. One-quarter of an oscillation corresponds to a phase angle of 90° or $\frac{\pi}{4}$ radian.

From trigonometry, $\sin A =\cos B$ if A and B are complementary.

At $t = 0$ , $x = 3.5$

$3.5 = A\cos(\omega \times0)$

$A =3.5$

So

$x = 3.5\cos(\omega t)$

At $t = 0.12$ , $x = 1.5$

$1.5 = 3.5\cos(0.12\omega)$

$\cos(0.12\omega)=\dfrac{1.5}{3.5}=0.4286$

$0.12\omega =\cos^{-1}0.4286$

$0.12\omega = 1.13$

$\omega = 9.4$

The period, $T$ , is related to $\omega$ by

$T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega} = \dfrac{2\times3.14}{9.4}=0.67$

Answer:

The family would not have hot water unless they were to heat the the water. They would have to depend on the stove in order to survive by heating the house to say alive and not freeze. They would also have to depend on the stove to get hot water to do any, but if the sun goes away for too long and everything starts to die then they will have to use what food and wood that they have in order to survive.
