Answer:

Q_+=1.36*10^5C

Q_+=-1.36*10^5C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass of old penny M=3.1g

Generally the number of moles in a penny is given mathematically as

n=\frac{M}{A}

A=atomic\ number\ of\ copper=>63.5g/mol

Therefore

n=\frac{3.1}{63.5}

n=0.049mol

Avogadro\ Number=(6.023*10^2^3 atom/mol

Therefore

N=(6.023*10^2^3 atom/mol *0.049mol

N=2.939*10^2^2atoms

Generally the Total positive charge of the copper is given by

Since its the 29th atom of the periodic table

29 protons

29 electrons

Q_+=29(2.939*10^22)(1.6*10^1^9)

Q_+=1.36*10^5C

Generally the Total negative charge of the copper is given by

Q_+=29(2.939*10^22)(-1.6*10^1^9)

Q_+=-1.36*10^5C

How long does it take the lava bomb to reach its maximum height? Answer with three significant digits and the correct unit. A sm
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The time taken to reach the maximum height is 3.20 seconds

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial height from which the volcano erupts the lava bomb = 64.4 m

The initial upward velocity of the lava bomb = 31.4 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The time it takes the lava bomb to reach its maximum height, t, is given by the following kinematic equation as follows;

v = u - g·t

Where;

v = The final velocity  = 0 m/s at maximum height

u = The initial velocity = 31.4 m/s

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = The time taken to reach the maximum height

Substituting the values gives;

0 = 31.4 - 9.8 × t

∴ 31.4 = 9.8 × t

t = 31.4/9.8  ≈ 3.204

The time taken to reach the maximum height rounded to three significant figures = t ≈ 3.20 seconds
