Answer:

1.0625×10¹⁹ electrons

Explanation:

From the question,

Using,

Q = It........................ Equation 1

Where Q = charge, I = current flowing in the wire, t = time (seconds)

Given: I = 1.70 A, t = 1 Seconds.

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 1.7(1)

Q = 1.7 C.

But,

1.6×10⁻¹⁹ C = 1 electron

Therefore,

1.7 C = 1.7/(1.6×10⁻¹⁹) electrons

= 1.0625×10¹⁹ electrons

Hence, 1.0625×10¹⁹ electrons flows through the wire per seconds.

What are two ways air resistance can be increased?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The increase in speed leads to an increase in the amount of air resistance. Eventually, the force of air resistance becomes large enough to balances the force of gravity. At this instant in time, the net force is 0 Newton; the object will stop accelerating. The object is said to have reached a terminal velocity.

Read the scenario and solve these two problems.

Burka [1]

Answers:

a) 5400000 J

b) 45.92 m

Explanation:

a) The kinetic energy $K$ of an object is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}$

Where:

$m=12000 kg$ is the mass of the train

$V=30 m/s$ is the speed of the train

Solving the equation:

$K=\frac{1}{2}(12000 kg)(30 m/s)^{2}$

$K=5400000 J$ This is the train's kinetic energy at its top speed

b) Now, according to the Conservation of Energy Law, the total initial energy is equal to the total final energy:

$E_{i}=E_{f}$

$K_{i}+P_{i}=K_{f}+P_{f}$

Where:

$K_{i}=5400000 J$ is the train's initial kinetic energy

$P_{i}=0 J$ is the train's initial potential energy

$K_{f}=0 J$ is the train's final kinetic energy

$P_{f}=mgh$ is the train's final potential energy, where $g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity and $h$ is the height.

Rewriting the equation with the given values:

$5400000 J=(12000 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})h$

Finding $h$ :

$h=45.918 m \approx 45.92 m$

The stiffness of a particular spring is 42 N/m. One end of the spring is attached to a wall. A force of 2 N is required to hold

Liula [17]

Answer:

$L_{o}=0.1224m$

Explanation:

Given data

Force F=2 N

Length L=17 cm = 0.17 m

Spring Constant k=42 N/m

To find

Relaxed length of the spring

Solution

From Hooke's Law we know that

$F_{spring}=k_{s}|s|\\F_{spring}=k_{s}(L-L_{o})\\ 2N=(42N/m)(0.17m-L_{o})\\2=7.14-42L_{o}\\-42L_{o}=2-7.14\\42L_{o}=5.14\\L_{o}=(5.14/42)\\L_{o}=0.1224m$
