An aluminum wire having a cross-sectional area equal to 2.20 10-6 m2 carries a current of 4.50 A. The density of aluminum is 2.7
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The drift speed of the electrons in the wire is 2.12x10⁻⁴ m/s.

Explanation:

We can find the drift speed by using the following equation:

v = \frac{I}{nqA}

Where:

I: is the current = 4.50 A

n: is the number of electrons

q: is the modulus of the electron's charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C

A: is the cross-sectional area = 2.20x10⁻⁶ m²

We need to find the number of electrons:

n = \frac{6.022\cdot 10^{23} atoms}{1 mol}*\frac{1 mol}{26.982 g}*\frac{2.70 g}{1 cm^{3}}*\frac{(100 cm)^{3}}{1 m^{3}} = 6.03 \cdot 10^{28} atom/m^{3}                  

Now, we can find the drift speed:

v = \frac{I}{nqA} = \frac{4.50 A}{6.03 \cdot 10^{28} atom/m^{3}*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*2.20 \cdot 10^{-6} m^{2}} = 2.12 \cdot 10^{-4} m/s              

Therefore, the drift speed of the electrons in the wire is 2.12x10⁻⁴ m/s.

I hope it helps you!

A city planner is working on the redesign of a hilly portion of a city. An important consideration is how steep the roads can be
Artyom0805 [142]

Explanation:

It is known that relation between force and acceleration is as follows.

                      F = m \times a

I is given that, mass is 1090 kg and acceleration is 21 m/s. Therefore, we will calculate force as follows.

              F = m \times a      

                 = 1090 \times (\frac{21}{16})

                 = 1430.625 N

Also, it is known that

      sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{Force car can exert}}{\text{Force gravity pulls car}}

      sin(\theta) = \frac{1430.625 N}{(1090 \times 9.8) N}

        \theta = 7.70 degrees

Thus, we can conclude that the maximum steepness for the car to still be able to accelerate is 7.70 degrees.

How did Galileo's observations of Jupiter and Venus support Copernicus's model?
Contact [7]
Before Copernicus most people were thinking that the Earth is at center of universe. In 1609 Galileo observed sky through his home made telescope.
He found 4 moons orbiting Jupiter..It was a proof that bodies are orbiting other planets and not earth alone. <span>He found the crescent shape of Venus through his telescope and this could happen only if Sun is at center.</span>

Your friend says an appliance uses energy. How would you correct his statement?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Not all appliances run on energy. Some of them run on gas. Some both. It just depends on the age of the appliance, the make of the appliance, and the company who made it.
