Answer:

a. 1.56 × 10¹⁸ electrons per second

b. The electrons in wire 3 flow into the junction.

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

Three wires meet at a junction. Wire 1 has a current of 0.40 A into the junction. The current of wire 2 is 0.65 A out of the junction. (a) How many electrons per second move past a point in wire 3? (b) In which direction do the electrons move in wire 3 -- into or out of the junction?

Solution

(a) How many electrons per second move past a point in wire 3?

Using Kirchhoff's current law, at the junction, i₁ + i₂ + i₃ = 0 where i₁ = current in wire 1 = 0.40 A, i₂ = current in wire 2 = 0.65 A and  i₃ = = current in wire 3,

So, i₃ = -(i₁ + i₂)

taking current flowing into the junction as positive and those leaving as negative, i₁ = + 0.40 A and i₂ = -0.65 A

So, i₃ = -(i₁ + i₂)

i₃ = -(0.40 A + (-0.65 A))

i₃ = -(0.40 A - 0.65 A)

i₃ = -(-0.25 A)

i₃ = 0.25 A

Since i₃ = 0.25 C/s and we have e = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C per electron, then the number of electrons flowing in wire 3 per second is i₃/e = 0.25 C/s ÷ 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C per electron = 0.1561  × 10¹⁹ electrons per second = 1.561  × 10¹⁸ electrons per second ≅ 1.56 × 10¹⁸ electrons per second

(b) In which direction do the electrons move -- into or out of the junction?

Given that i₃ = + 0.25 A and that positive flows into the junction, thus, the electrons in wire 3 flow into the junction.

Which change would decrease the total current, I, flowing through this circuit?
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

A. Increasing the voltage of the battery

Explanation:

The relationship between voltage, V, current, I and resistance, R, is given as follows;

V = I × R

∴ I = V/R

From the above relationship, the current flowing in the circuit is directly proportional to the voltage of the battery, and inversely proportional to the resistance, 'R', of the circuit

Therefore, increasing the voltage, 'V', of the battery, increases the total current, 'I', flowing in the circuit.

MathPhys Help pls Tysm
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

8.75

Explanation:

First, find the force of friction.

Kinetic energy = work done by friction

½ mv² = Fd

½ (3.9 kg) (2.9 m/s)² = F (1.4 m)

F = 11.7 N

Next, find the distance at the new velocity.

Kinetic energy = work done by friction

½ mv² = Fd

½ (3.9 kg) (2.5 × 2.9 m/s)² = (11.7 N) d

d = 8.75 m

Determine the approximate force (N) used to pull a sled up a 400 m hill using 1900 J of work.
Sergeu [11.5K]
The work done to pull the sled up to the hill is given by
W=Fd
where
F is the intensity of the force
d is the distance where the force is applied.

In our problem, the work done is W=1900 J and the distance through which the force is applied is d=400 m, so we can calculate the average force by re-arranging the previous equation and by using these data:
F= \frac{W}{d}= \frac{1900 J}{400 m} = 4.75 N \sim 5 N

A student drops a ball from the top of a 10-meter tall building. The ball leaves the thrower's hand with a zero speed. What is t
Sergio [31]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

u = 0, h = 10 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

Here, v be the velocity of ball as it just strikes with the ground

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 10

v^2 = 196

v = 14 m/s
