An object is given a very small amount of charge. Which of the following could
spayn [35]

5.4*10^-19 C

Explanation:

For the purposes of this question, charges essentially come in packages that are the size of an electron (or proton since they have the same magnitude of charge). The charge on an electron is -1.6*10^-19

Therefore, any object should have a charge that is a multiple of the charge of an electron - It would not make sense to have a charge equivalent to 1.5 electrons since you can't exactly split the electron in half. So the charge of any integer number of electrons can be transferred to another object.

Charge = q(electron)*n(#electrons)

Since 5.4/1.6 = 3.375, we know that it can not be the right answer because the answer is not an integer.

If you divide every other option listed by the charge of an electron, you will get an integer number.

(16*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 10

(-6.4*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = -4

(4.8*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 3

(5.4*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 3.375

(3.2*10^-19C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 2

etc.

I hope this helps!

A train starting from rest picks up a speed of 20 m/s in 20 s while travelling on a straight path. It continues to move at the s
Andrej [43]

Answer:

1300 m

Explanation:

As the path is straight, so the speed is equivalent to velocity. Now. assuming that the acceleration and deceleration of the train are constant. So, change of velocity with respect to time for acceleration as well as deceleration is constant. Hence, the slope of the speed-time graph is constant for the time of acceleration as well as deceleration. The speed for the time from 20 s to 70 s is constant, so slope for this interval of time is zero. The speed-time graph is shown in the figure.

The total distance covered by the train during the entire journey is the area of the speed-time graph.

Area=\frac{1}{2}(20\times 20)+ 50\times 20+\frac{1}{2}(20\times 10)

=200+1000+100

=1300

As velocity is in m/s and time is in s so the unit of area is m

Hence, the total distance is  1300m.
