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

An archer puts a 0.30 kg arrow to the bowstring. An average force of 201 N is exerted to draw the string back 1.3 m.a. Assuming

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of archer $m=0.3\ kg$

Average force $F_{avg}=201\ N$

extension in arrow $x=1.3\ m$

Work done to stretch the bow with arrow

$W=F\cdot x$

$W=201\times 1.3=261.3\ m$

This work done is converted into kinetic Energy of arrow

$W=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where v= velocity of arrow

$261.3=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.3\times v^2$

$v=\sqrt{1742}$

$v=41.73\ m/s$

(b)if arrow is thrown vertically upward then this energy is converted to Potential energy

$W=mgh$

$261.3=0.3\times 9.8\times h$

$h=\frac{261.3}{0.3\times 9.8}$

$h=88.87\ m$

Two identical loudspeakers 2.00 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The lowest possible frequency of sound is 971.4 Hz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between loudspeakers = 2.00 m

Height = 5.50 m

Sound speed = 340 m/s

We need to calculate the distance

Using Pythagorean theorem

$AC^2=AB^2+BC^2$

$AC^2=2.00^2+5.50^2$

$AC=\sqrt{(2.00^2+5.50^2)}$

$AC=5.85\ m$

We need to calculate the path difference

Using formula of path difference

$\Delta x=AC-BC$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta x=5.85-5.50$

$\Delta x=0.35\ m$

We need to calculate the lowest possible frequency of sound

Using formula of frequency

$f=\dfrac{nv}{\Delta x}$

Put the value into the formula

$f=\dfrac{1\times340}{0.35}$

$f=971.4\ Hz$

Hence, The lowest possible frequency of sound is 971.4 Hz.
