AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the number of excess electrons acquired by a body with a static charge of -10 microcoulombs, resulting in approximately 6.2 x 10^13 electrons. To find the collective mass of these electrons, the mass of a single electron, which is 9.11 x 10^-31 kg, is used. By multiplying the number of electrons by the mass of a single electron, the total mass can be calculated. The final mass should be expressed in grams using two significant figures. This calculation illustrates the relationship between static charge and the mass of electrons involved.

On a dry day, your body can accumulate static charge from walking across a carpet or from brushing your hair.
If your body develops a charge of -10 (microcoulombs), how many excess electrons has it acquired?

N=6.2*10^13 electrons



What is their collective mass?
Express your answer using two significant figures.

m=_____g

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
