In order to find out if the exponential function represents a growth or a decay, let's look at the number that is base to the exponent x.
If the number is greater than 1, so the function represents a growth, and if the number is less than 1, the function represents a decay.
Since the number is 1.075, the function represents a growth.
To find the % increase, first let's convert the number to percentage, and then subtract 100%:
So the percent increase is 7.5%.
Answer:
(a) 1.87 x 10⁻⁴ m/s
(b) 0.013V
Explanation:
(a) Drift speed, , is the average velocity that a charged particle can have due to an electric field. For a given current, I, the drift velocity is given by;
=
----------------(i)
Where;
q = amount of charge
n = free charge density
A = cross-sectional area of the wire
But current density, J, is the electric current per unit cross-section area. This is also equal to the ratio of the electric field, E, to the resistivity, p, of the material of the wire. i.e
J = =
Equation (i) can then be written as follows;
=
=
=
---------------------(ii)
From the question;
E = 0.0520N/C
p = 1.72 x 10⁻⁸ Ωm
n = 8.5 x 10²⁸ electrons/m³
c = charge on electron = 1.9 x 10⁻¹⁹C
Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;
=
= 1.87 x 10⁻⁴ m/s
(b) The potential difference, V, is given by the product of the electric field and the distance, d, between the two points in the wire. i.e
V = E x d [where d = 25.0cm = 0.25m]
V = 0.0520 x 0.25
V = 0.013V
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
---- Altitude of container in Denver
-- Surface Area of the container lid
--- Air pressure in Denver
--- Air pressure in New Orleans
<em>See comment for complete question</em>
Solving (a): The expression for
Force is calculated as:
The force in New Orleans is:
Since the inside pressure is half the pressure at sea level, then:
Where
--- Standard Pressure
Recall that:
This gives:
Solving (b): The value of
In (a), we have:
Where
So, we have:
