A straight section of silver wire has a cross sectional area A=2.0 mm2. A total of 9.4×1018 electrons pass through the wire in 3

.0s. The conduction electron density in silver is 5.8×1028 electrons/m3. How far along the straight section do the electrons in the wire move, on average, during the 3.0s in question?

Answer:

8.08 x 10^-5 m

Explanation:

A = 2 mm^2 = 2 x 10^-6 m^2

Total number of electrons, N = 9.4 x 10^18

time, t = 3 s

n = 5.8 x 10^28 electrons/ m^3

Current, i = Q / t = N x e / t = (9.4 x 10^18 x 1.6 x 10^-19) / 3 = 0.5 A

Let vd be the drift velocity.

i = n e A vd

0.5 = 5.8 x 10^28 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x 2 x 10^-6 x vd

vd = 2.7 x 10^-5 m/s

Distance traveled by the electrons = velocity x time

                                                          = vd x t = 2.7 x 10^-5 x 3 = 8.08 x 10^-5 m

Write whether true or false...
elixir [45]

Answer:

a --> true, b --> false, c --> true, d -->false

Explanation:

a) since it stays floating the gravity force and the upqards push is the same

b) if it's balanced the rocket won't move from the ground, the force of the rocket, has to exceed the force of gravity

c) since it's going in a diretion the force of gravity is exceeding the force pushing it up

d) since that are speeding up at a rate, meaning growing, the force is unbalanced.

Based on their colors, which of the following stars is hottest? Which is coolest? Archenar (blue), Betelgeuse (red), Capella (ye
Cloud [144]

Answer: The hottest star is Archenar( blue) and the coolest star is Betelgeuse

Explanation:

Objects emit radiation that depends exclusively on their temperature. At an ambient temperature, the radiation emitted by an object is in the infrared spectrum (we could only see it with a special camera). If we heat it we will see that it first turns red (whose state we call “red hot”) because it is the lowest and least energetic wavelength of all.

If we continue to heat it, the wavelength that it emits to one with more energy will continue to increase and we will see that it turns yellow and then white. This is a signal that is emitting at all frequencies (but mainly in blue).

If we continue to warm a body that is "white hot", it would emit in the ultraviolet spectrum, with what would become ... black! then we would not see it emits light in the visible spectrum (well, we would see a very faint bluish light corresponding to the tail of the distribution of the spectrum it emits, but the peak of that spectrum would be in the ultraviolet).

A student is trying to determine the acceleration of a feather as she drops it to the ground. if the student is looking to achie
Anna [14]

The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.

All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.

If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.
