The current is defined as the amount of charge transferred through a certain point in a certain time interval:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
where
I is the current
Q is the charge
\Delta t is the time interval

For the lightning bolt in our problem, Q=6.0 C and \Delta t= 2.0 \cdot 10^{-3}s, so the average current during the event is
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{6.0 C}{2.0 \cdot 10^{-3} s}=3000 A

A plane initially traveling at 200 m/s due west experiences a 10 m/s head wind coming from the opposite direction. A). What will
Hitman42 [59]
Ok so it would be late and the relative velocity would be 190 m/s because 200 m/s - 10 m/s is 190 m/s. Hope this helps.

A proton is released from rest at the positive plate of a parallel-plate capacitor. It crosses the capacitor and reaches the neg
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

=2,012,319.36 \ m/s

Explanation:

-The only relevant force is the electrostatic force

-The formula for the electrostatic force is:

F = Eq

E is the electric field and q is the magnitude of the charge.

#Since the electric field is the same in both cases, and the charge of the protons and electrons have the same magnitude, you can state that the magnitude of the electric forces acting in both proton and electron are the same.

F_e = F_p\\\\F_e= Force \ on \ electron\\F_p = Force \ on \ proton

-Applying Newton's 2nd Law:

F=ma

F_e=M_ea_e

F_p=M_pa_p

#equate the two forces:

F_e = F_p\\\\M_ea_e=M_pa_p\\\\a_e=\frac{M_pa_p}{M_e}

#The equations for velocity in uniform acceleration:

V_f^2=V_o^2+2ad\\\\V_o^2=0\\\\\therefore V_f^2=2ad

#For the proton:

V_f^2=2a_pd\\\\a_p=\frac{V_f^2}{2d}\\\\a_p=\frac{47000m/s)^2}{2d}

#For the electron:

V_f^2=2{a_e}^2\times 2d\\\\A_e=M_p\times A_p/M_e\\\\V_f^2=M_p\times (47000m/s)^2/2d\times2d/M_e\\\\V_f^2=M_p\times (47000m/s)^2/M_e\\\\V_f=47000m/s\times\sqrt{\frac{M_p}{M_e}}

The mass values of the proton and electron are:

M_p=1.67\times 10^{-27} kg\\\\M_e=9.11\times10^{-31}kg

The speed of the ion is therefore calculated as:

V_f=47000m/s\times\sqrt{\frac{M_p}{M_e}}\\\\=47000m/s\times\sqrt{\frac{1.67\times10^{-27}}{9.11\times10^{-31}}\\\\=2,012,319.36 \ m/s

Hence, the ion's speed at the negative plate is =2,012,319.36 \ m/s

A large solar panel on a spacecraft in Earth orbit produces 1.0 kW of power when the panel is turned toward the sun. What power
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

e*P_s = 11 W

Explanation:

Given:

- e*P = 1.0 KW

- r_s = 9.5*r_e

- e is the efficiency of the panels

Find:

What power would the solar cell produce if the spacecraft were in orbit around Saturn

Solution:

- We use the relation between the intensity I and distance of light:

                                  I_1 / I_2 = ( r_2 / r_1 ) ^2

- The intensity of sun light at Saturn's orbit can be expressed as:

                                  I_s = I_e * ( r_e / r_s ) ^2

                                  I_s = ( 1.0 KW / e*a) * ( 1 / 9.5 )^2

                                  I_s = 11 W / e*a

- We know that P = I*a, hence we have:

                                  P_s = I_s*a

                                  P_s = 11 W / e

Hence,                       e*P_s = 11 W

You are stranded in a blizzard. You need water to drink to drink,and you're trying to stay warm.should the melt the snow and dri
Crazy boy [7]
It would be a really bad idea to eat the snow because you obviously are trying to stay warm right? Well, the best thing to do is melt the snow. However, the process of melting the snow would have a few complications as well. But yes, the latter idea (drinking the snow) is a better idea (not the best).
