0.04 Ampere of current will flow through the silicon.

<h3>What is Electrical Current ?</h3>

Electrical current is the rate at which charges flow in the conductor. It is measured in Ampere (A)

What current flows through a 2.54cm diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20.0cm long ,when 1.00x10000V is applied to it

The given diameter is 2.54 cm, the radius r = 2.54/2 = 1.27 cm

Convert cm to m

r = 1.27/100 = 0.0127m

L = 20/100 = 0.2m

Area A = πr²

A = π × 0.0127²

A = 0.000507 m²

The resistivity ρ of silicon material is 640 Ωm

Resistance R = ρL / A

R = ( 640 × 0.2 ) / 0.000506

R = 128 / 0.000506

R = 252964.43 Ω

From Ohm's law

V = IR

10000 = 252964.43I

I = 10000 / 252964.43

I = 0.0395A

Therefore, 0.04 Ampere of current will flow through the silicon.

Does the depth of a pot affect how water freezes

Iteru [2.4K]

In my opinion it does. The more water the pot holds, the longer you need to wait for it to freeze. Since there is more water, some parts may not be completely frozen. An experiment you can try is to get an ice cube container and a pot. fill both of them and put them in the freezer for the same amount of time. When you take it out, the ice cubes should be frozen leaving the pot with cold water.

You are removing branches from your roof after a big storm. You throw a branch horizontally from your roof, which is a height 3.

mart [117]

Answer:

The initial velocity in the x-direction with which the branch was thrown is approximately 10.224 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters of the motion of the branch are;

The height from which the branch is thrown = 3.00 m

The horizontal distance the branch lands from where it was thrown, x = 8.00 m

The direction in which the branch is thrown = Horizontally

Therefore, the initial vertical velocity of the branch, $u_y$ = 0 m/s

The time it takes an object in free fall (zero initial downward vertical velocity) to reach the ground is given as follows;

s = $u_y$ ·t + 1/2·g·t²

Where;

$u_y$ = 0 m/s

s = The initial height of the object = 3.00 m

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

∴ s = 0·t + 1/2·g·t² = 0 × t + 1/2·g·t² = 1/2·g·t²

t = √(2·s/g) = √(2 × 3/9.8) = (√30)/7 ≈ 0.78246

The horizontal distance covered before the branch touches the ground, x = 8.00 m

Therefore, the initial velocity in the horizontal, x-direction with which the branch was thrown, 'uₓ', is given as follows;

uₓ = x/t = 8.00 m/((√30)/7 s)

Using a graphing calculator, we get;

uₓ = 8.00 m/((√30)/7 s) = (28/15)·√30 m/s ≈ 10.224 m/s

The initial velocity in the horizontal, x-direction with which the branch was thrown, uₓ ≈ 10.224 m/s.

Which statement is true according to Newton's first law of motion?

katrin2010 [14]

C) In the absence of an unbalanced force, an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion.

hope this helps and have a great day :)

Bare free charges do not remain stationary when close together. To illustrate this, calculate the acceleration of two isolated p

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Separation between the protons, $r=3.73\ nm=3.73\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Charge on protons, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Mass of protons, $m=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

We need to find the acceleration of two isolated protons. It can be calculated by equating electric force between protons and force due to motion as :

$ma=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}$

$a=\dfrac{kq^2}{mr^2}$

$a=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (3.73\times 10^{-9})^2}$

$a=9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of two isolated protons is $9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
