What is the number of electrons that move past a point in a wire carrying 500 A of current in 4.0 minutes

Physics

mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago

The current is defined as the amount of charge Q that passes through a given point of a wire in a time \Delta t:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
Since I=500 A and the time interval is
\Delta t=4.0 min=240 s
the charge is
Q=I \Delta t=(500 A)(240 s)=1.2 \cdot 10^5 C

One electron has a charge of q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C, therefore the number of electrons that pass a point in the wire during 4 minutes is
N= \frac{Q}{q}= \frac{1.2 \cdot 10^5 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C}=7.5 \cdot 10^{23} electrons

Henri draws a wave that has a 4 cm distance between the midpoint and the trough. Geri draws a wave that has an 8 cm vertical dis
andre [41]

Answer:

Henri’s wave and Geri’s wave have the same amplitude and the same energy

Explanation:

The amplitude of a wave is the distance between the midpoint and the trough (or the crest). This is equivalent to half the distance between the trough and the crest. Therefore:

  • amplitude of Henri's wave: 4 cm
  • amplitude of Geri's wave: 8/2 = 4 cm

The energy of a wave is directly proportional to its amplitude.

A roller coaster car moves around a vertical circle. At the bottom of the circle, the car experiences four times as much radial
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The speed of the car at the bottom of the circle is twice as its speed at the top of the circle.

Explanation:

It is given that, at the bottom of the circle, the car experiences four times as much radial (centripetal) acceleration as at the top of the circle such that :

a_B=4\times a_T

The centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

Let v_B\ and\ a_T are the speed of the roller coaster car at bottom and at top respectively.

\dfrac{a_B}{a_T}=4\\\\\dfrac{(v_B^2/r)}{(v_T^2/r)}=4\\\\\dfrac{v_B^2}{v_T^2}=4\\\\\dfrac{v_B}{v_T}=2\\\\v_B=2\times v_T.

So, the speed of the car at the bottom of the circle is twice as its speed at the top of the circle. Hence, the correct option is (D).
