Answer:

Solids can hold their shape because their molecules are tightly packed together. ... Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want. The molecules in a solid are stuck in a specific structure or arrangement of atoms

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

avriage force F = 2722.5 N

Explanation:

For this problem we can use Newton's second law, to calculate the average force and acceleration we can find it by kinematics.

vf² = v₀² - 2 ax

The final carriage speed is zero (vf = 0)

0 = v₀² - 2ax

a = v₀² / 2x

a = 1.1²/(2 0.200)

a = 3.025 m / s²

a = 3.0 m/s²

We calculate the average force

F = ma

F = 900 3,025

F = 2722.5 N

When a current flows in an aluminum wire of diameter 2.91 mm 2.91 mm , the drift speed of the conduction electrons is 0.000191 m

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Number of electrons are flowing per second is 2.42 x 10¹⁹

Explanation:

The electric current flows through a wire is given by the relation :

$I=envA$ ....(1)

Here I is current, e is electronic charge, v is drift velocity of electrons and A is the Area of the wire.

But electric current is also define as rate of electrons passing through junction times their charge, i.e. ,

$I=Ne$ ....(2)

Here N is the rate of electrons passing through junction.

From equation (1) and (2).

$eN = envA$

$N=nvA$

But area of wire, $A=\pi \frac{d^{2} }{4}$

Here d is diameter of wire.

So, $N = nv\pi \frac{d^{2} }{4}$

Substitute 2.91 x 10⁻³ m for d, 0.000191 m/s for v and 6 x 10²⁸ m⁻³ for n in the above equation.

$N = 6\times10^{28}\times 0.000191\times\pi \frac{(2.91\times10^{-3} )^{2} }{4}$

N = 2.42 x 10¹⁹ s⁻¹

A recent home energy bill indicates that a household used 475475 kWh (kilowatt‑hour) of electrical energy and 135135 therms for

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,.

A house hold power consumption is

475 KWh

Gas used is

135 thermal gas for month

Given that, 1 thermal = 29.3 KWh

Then,

135 thermal = 135 × 29.3 = 3955.5 KWh

So, total power used is

P = 475 + 3955.5

P =4430.5 KWh

Since 1 hr = 3600 seconds

So, the energy consumed for 1hr is

1KW = 1000W

P = energy / time

Energy = Power × time

E = 4430.5 KWhr × 1000W / KW × 3600s / hr

E = 1.595 × 10^10 J

So, using Albert Einstein relativity equation

E = mc²

m = E / c²

c is speed of light = 3 × 10^8 m/s

m = 1.595 × 10^10 / (3 × 10^8)²

m = 1.77 × 10^-7 kg

Then,

1 kg = 10^6 mg

m = 1.77 × 10^-7 kg × 10^6 mg / kg

m = 0.177mg

m ≈ 0.18 mg

** URGENT** The voltage across the primary winding is 350,000 V, and the voltage across the secondary winding is 17,500 V. If th

Vlad [161]

As we know that in transformers we have

$\frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}$

here we know that

$V_s = 17,500 Volts$

$V_p = 350,000 Volts$

$N_s = 600 coils$

now from above equation we will have

$\frac{17500}{350000} = \frac{600}{N_p}$

$N_p = 600\times \frac{350000}{17500}$

$N_p = 12000 coils$
