A 5.00 A current runs through a 12 gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5*10^28 free electrons per cubic metre.

a) How many electrons pass through the light bulb each second?

b) What is the current density in the wire? (answer in A/m^2)

<span>c) At what speed does a typical electron pass by any given point in the wire? (answer in m/s)

</span>a) 5.0 A = 5.0 C/s 
. Number of electrons in 5.0C = 5.0 / 1.60^-19 = 3.125^19
. 5.0 A ►= 3.125^19 electrons/s

b) A/m² = 5.0 / π(1.025^-3 m)² .. .. ►= 1.52^6 A/m²

c) Charge density (q/m³) = 8.50^28 e/m³ x 1.60^-19 = 1.36^10 C/m³

(q/m³)(m²)(m/s) = q/s (current i in C/s [A])
(m²) = Area
(m/s) = mean drift speed

(q/m³)(A)(v) = i

v = i.[(q/m³)A]ˉ¹

<span>v = 5.0 [1.36^10 * π(1.025^-3 m)²]ˉ¹.. .. ►v = 1.10^-4 m/s</span>

Rest and motion are relatives terms justify the statement​
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

rest and motion are the relative terms because they depend on the observer's frame of reference. So if two different observers are not at rest with respect to each other, then they too get different results when they observe the motion or rest of a body

How long would it take to walk 10000 miles?
SpyIntel [72]
Well if you take 10 minutes to walk each mile and you don't stop by continuously walking... it would take approximately 69 and a half daysSource(s):<span>10 minutes x 10,000 miles= 100,000 minutes 
100,000 minutes/ 60 minutes (1 hour)= 1,666.66667 hours 

1,666.66667 hours/ 24 hours (1 day)= 69.4444446 days 
69.4444446 days rounds to 69.5 days which means that would be about 2 months and a week.</span>

A wheel starts from rest and has an angular acceleration that is given by α (t) = (6.0 rad/s4)t2. After it has turned through 10
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

75 rad/s

Explanation:

The angular acceleration is the time rate of change of angular velocity. It is given by the formula:

α(t) = d/dt[ω(t)]

Hence: ω(t) = ∫a(t) dt

Also, angular velocity is the time rate of change of displacement. It is given by:

ω(t) = d/dt[θ(t)]

θ(t) = ∫w(t) dt

θ(t) = ∫∫α(t) dtdt

Given that: α (t) = (6.0 rad/s4)t² = 6t² rad/s⁴. Hence:

θ(t) = ∫∫α(t) dtdt

θ(t) = ∫∫6t² dtdt =∫[∫6t² dt]dt

θ(t) = ∫[2t³]dt = t⁴/2 rad

θ(t) = t⁴/2 rad

At θ(t) = 10 rev = (10 *  2π) rad = 20π rad, we can find t:

20π = t⁴/2

40π = t⁴

t = ⁴√40π

t = 3.348 s

ω(t) = ∫α(t) dt = ∫6t² dt = 2t³

ω(t) = 2t³

ω(3.348) = 2(3.348)³ = 75 rad/s
