How do you derive the drift velocity equation (I = nAve)?

Current is just number of electrons (times its charge) passing by in a given time (in seconds for amps). say you have a volume filled with moving electrons (ignore the inner shell electrons since they stay put) if this volume is constantly moving, the current is just the total charge of this moving volume divided by the total time it takes to pass a certain surface. total charge is e*n*A*L where l is the length (this is just total volume*charge density*charge/electron) the time it takes this to move a distance L is the time for all the charges to move across some 'measuring' surface, time=distance/velocity=L/v Current=total charge/total time=enAL/[L/v]=nAve this is one way to think about it... I hope I helped! ☺️

A planned high-speed train between Houston and Dallas will travel a distance of 386 kilometers in 5.40 × 10^3 seconds. What is t

Mazyrski [523]

¡Hellow!

For this problem, first, lets convert the seconds in hours:

5,4x10³ $\rightarrow$ 5400

h = sec / 3600

h = 5400 s / 3600

h = 1,5

Let's recabe information:

d (Distance) = 386 km

t (Time) = 1,5 h

v (Velocity) = ?

For calculate velocity, let's applicate formula:

$\boxed{\boxed{\textbf{d = v * t} } }$

Reeplace according we information:

386 km = v * 1,5 h

v = 386 km / 1,5 h

v = 257,33 km/h

The velocity of the train is of 257,33 kilometers for hour.

Extra:

For convert km/h to m/s, we divide the velocity of km/h for 3,6:

m/s = km/h / 3,6

Let's reeplace:

m/s = 257,33 km/h / 3,6

m/s = 71,48

How is the mass and speed of a particle related to its kinetic energy?

jasenka [17]

The higher mass of a particle means it’ll be harder to move, slowing it down and the faster the particle is moving the higher the kinetic energy because there is more movement and pressure within the object with the energy

1) How is the temperature of a gas related to the kinetic energy of its particles?

dlinn [17]

The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to thetemperature. An increase intemperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move. Allgases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy. Lightergas molecules move faster than heavier molecules.
