Answer:
The average velocity is 7.5 km/h
Explanation:
Let's convert minutes to hours so our answer can be given in a common units of km/hour:
12 minutes = 12/60 hours = 0.2 hours
Now we estimate the average velocity calculating the distance travelled over the time it took:
1.5 / 0.2 km/h = 7.5 km/h
Electrons are a stable sub atomic particle that has a negative charge and is found in all atoms and is the main carrier of electricity through solids.
In a metal, some of the electrons can escape from the atoms and are free to move around inside the metal. These electrons are referred to as 'conduction electrons'.
<span>A current is a flow of charge. In metal a current is the flow of the conduction electrons through the metal. This can occur when connected to battery for example: The battery pumps the conduction electrons around the circuit. </span>
The voltage exists between the fence and the ground. The cow is grounded. The cow is touching the ground, completing the circuit of electricity. <span>When the cow comes into contact with the fence, it becomes an electric ground which sends an electric current into the cow, through the cow, and into the ground. The pain experienced from the shock is due to the current that flows through the cow.</span>
If this case could ever happen, the speed would follow from this formula:
with f the frequency and lambda the wavelength. We are give a wavelength of 10m. The frequencies of the visible light can range between 400 to about 790 Terahertz, so let us pick a middle point of 600 THz ("green-ish") as a "representative."
The speed of such a wave would have to be 6e+15 m/s (which would be 7 orders of magnitude higher than the universal speed of light constant)
