The the drift velocity of the electrons is determined by atom vibrations in the crystal lattice.

<h3>How to explain the information?</h3>

Assume we could increase the average time between collisions in a typical metal to get to a limit of zero resistance. The free electrons would therefore be continuously accelerated by a constant applied voltage, according to the classical paradigm of conduction. Both the current and the drift speed would gradually pick up over time.

Although it is not the scenario implied by the question, it is possible to switch to zero resistance by using a superconducting wire instead of the usual metal. In this scenario, the maximum current is constrained, the drift velocity of the electrons is determined by atom vibrations in the crystal lattice, and it is difficult to produce a potential difference across the superconductor.

Power P is the rate at which energy is generated or consumed and hence is measured in units that represent energy E per unit time t. This is:

P = E/t

Solving for t:

t = E/P

t = 6007 J / 500 W

t = 12.014 s

<h2>t ≅ 12 s</h2>

Use Fnet=ma. Apply it to the vertical components of all the forces acting on the ball and since tension is the same on both wires you should be able to factor it out and solve for it. Picture below

The Curiosity rover now on Mars analyzed rocks and found magnesium to have the following isotopic composition.
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

A.   number of neutrons of Magnesium Mg = 13

B.   The average mass of Mg = 22.29 amu

C.   the magnesium composition on Mars is not the same as that on Earth.

Explanation:

Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number but different mass number. This is due to the difference in mass of the neutrons.

The atomic number of Magnesium Mg = 12

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons present in the atomic nucleus of the element

i.e Atomic number = number of protons = 12

The mass number of an element is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus of the element.

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

Given that the mass number of Mg = 25

Then;

25 = 12 + number of neutrons

25 - 12 = number of neutrons

13 = number of neutrons

number of neutrons of Magnesium Mg = 13

B. What is the average atomic mass of magnesium in these rocks?

The average atomic mass of an element which exhibit isotopy is the average mass of its various isotopes as they occur naturally in any quantity of the element.

Therefore the average atomic mass of magnesium can be calculated as:

= \mathtt{\dfrac{(23.9872 \times 79.70) + ( 24.9886 \times  10.13) + (25.9846 \times  10.17) }{79.7 + 10.13 +10.17}}

= \mathtt{\dfrac{(1911.77984) + ( 53.134518) + (264.263382) }{100}}

= \mathtt{\dfrac{2229.17774 }{100}}

The average mass of Mg = 22.29 amu

C. Is the magnesium composition on Mars the same as that on Earth? Explain.

The average atomic weight of magnesium on Earth is said to be 24.305 amu while that of Mars is 22.29 amu.

There difference in the average atomic weight result into difference in their composition. Therefore,the magnesium composition on Mars is not the same as that on Earth.

You drop a rock off the top of a building. It takes 3.4 s to hit the ground. What is the velocity at impact (final velocity)? I
SCORPION-xisa [38]
-- The acceleration of gravity (on Earth) is 9.8 m/s².

-- That means that during every second an object falls,
    it adds 9.8 m/s of speed.

Now !    If it adds 9.8 m/s of speed every second, then
              how fast is it falling at the end of  3.4 seconds ?

This is as close as I can bring you to the answer
without dropping it at your feet, or handing it to you
on a golden tray.
