Pennies today are copper-covered zinc, but older pennies are 3.1 g of solid copper. What are the total positive charge and total

negative charge in a solid copper penny that is electrically neutral?

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

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

$Q_+=-1.36*10^5C$

A car hits another and the two bumpers lock together during the collision. is this an elastic or inelastic collision?

valkas [14]

Inelastic.
If it was elastic, they'd bump right off each other. But since they've been locked, or stuck together, this is inelastic.

Two iron bolts of equal Mass one at a hundred see another at 55 Sierra place in the insulated cylinder assuming the heat capacit

malfutka [58]

Answer:

$T_2 = 77.5c$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Temp of first bolts $T_1=100$

Temp of 2nd bolt $T_2=55$

Generally the equation showing the relationship between heat & temperature is given by

$q=cm \triangle T$

Generally heat released by the iron bolt = heat gained by the iron bolt

Generally solving mathematically

$-(0.45*m* (T_2-100 \textdegree c)) = 0.45*m*(T_2 -55\textdegree c)$

$-(T_2-100 \textdegree c)) = (T_2 -55 \textdegree c)$

$T_2 +T_2= 100 \textdegree c+55 \textdegree c$

$T_2=\frac{155 \textdegree c}{2}$

$T_2 = 77.5 \textdegree c$

Therefore $T_2 = 77.5 \textdegree c$ is the final temperature inside the container

An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 2.15 kg mass is hung from the spring, stretching the spring a distance d = 0.0895 m fr

Igoryamba

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through the equilibrium position is 0.06500 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 2.15 kg

Distance = 0.0895 m

Amplitude = 0.0235 m

We need to calculate the spring constant

Using newton's second law

$F= mg$

Where, f = restoring force

$kx=mg$

$k=\dfrac{mg}{x}$

Put the value into the formula

$k=\dfrac{2.15\times9.8}{0.0895}$

$k=235.41\ N/m$

We need to calculate the kinetic energy of the mass

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Here, $v = A\omega$

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}m\times(A\omega)^2$

Here, $\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}^2$

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}m\times A^2\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}^2$

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times235.41\times(0.0235)^2$

$K.E=0.06500\ J$

Hence, The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through the equilibrium position is 0.06500 J.

Why is it important to be able to trace the pole connection on a meter back to the same type of pole at the electrical source?

lozanna [386]

Answer:

Explanation:

A grounded wire is sometimes strung along the tops of the towers to provide lightning protection.

In areas where the neutral is grounded or earthed, it is essential to endure that the neutral and the live or hot wires are not confused for each other.

When this happens, the fuses on the transformer will not operate unless the fault is very close to the transformer. The fuses in the consumer's intake box, will not operate.
