Why are electrons, rather than protons, the principal charge carriers in metal wires?

Physics
1 answer:
Ket [755]3 years ago

<span>because in any atom the electrons are in the outer orbitals while protons are within the nucleus together with the neutrons. If energy is supplied electrons can jump to higher energy levels and leave the lower orbitals. 
Especially in metals the conduction band is partially filled at room temperature with allows free flow of electrons throughout the metal thus they carry charge. 
(it requires huge amounts of energy to remove a proton from the nucleus such things happen on the surface of sun).</span><span>

... The top branch of the 3-branched parallel block ... the 9 and 6 in series ...
is equivalent to a single resistor of 15 ohms.

... The 3-branched parallel block boils down to (30, 10, and 15) in parallel.
That's (1/30 + 1/10 + 1/15)⁻¹  =   5 ohms.

... The 5-ohm-equivalent block and the 20-ohm resistor form a
voltage divider across the battery.
The voltage across the 5-ohm-equivalent block is (5/25 x 30v) = 6v .

... The top branch of the block is equivalent to a (9 + 6) = 15-ohmer.
With 6v across its ends, the current through that branch is (6/15) = 0.4A .

... With 0.4A flowing through it, the 9-ohm resistor is dissipating

            I²R = (0.4A)² (9 ohms)  =  (0.16 A²) (9 ohms)  =  1.44 W  (choice-3)

Answer:

3) D: 31 m/s

4) D: 84.84 metres

Explanation:

3) Initial velocity along the x-axis is;

v_x = v_o•cos θ

Initial velocity along the y-axis is;

v_y = v_o•sin θ

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

v_x = 31 cos 60

v_x = 31 × 0.5

v_x = 15.5 m/s

Similarly,

v_y = 31 sin 60

v_y = 31 × 0.8660

v_y = 26.85 m/s

Thus, magnitude of the initial velocity is;

v = √(15.5² + 26.85²)

v ≈ 31 m/s

4) Formula for horizontal range is;

R = (v² sin 2θ)/g

R = (31² × sin (2 × 60))/9.81

R = 84.84 m

One form of energy can be _____ another type of energy.
kotegsom [21]

We can answer this one very quickly.  From the <em>Law of Conservation of Energy</em>, we know that "Energy can't be created or destroyed.".

So that only leaves us one way to complete the sentence in this question:

"One form of energy can be <em>transformed into</em> another type of energy. "  <em>(B)</em>

Assume a satellite shines an unpolarized light on a telescope. The intensity of the light as it reaches the telescope is 1.1*10-
n200080 [17]

Answer:

4.125\times 10^{-11}\ W/m^2

Explanation:

I_0 = Intensity of unpolarized light = 1.1\times 10^{-10}\ W/m^2

\theta = Angle of the filter = 30^{\circ}

Intensity of light is given by

I=\dfrac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1.1\times 10^{-10}}{2}cos^230\\\Rightarrow I=4.125\times 10^{-11}\ W/m^2

The intensity of light detected by the camera is 4.125\times 10^{-11}\ W/m^2

What is the speaker’s power output if the sound intensity level is 102 dBdB at a distance of 25 mm ? Express your answer to two
lesya [120]

Answer:

Power  = 124.50 W

Explanation:

Given that:

The Sound intensity of a speaker output is 102 dB

and the distance r = 25 m

For the intensity of sound,

\beta (dB)= 10 \  log_{10 } (\dfrac{I}{I_o})

where;

the threshold of hearing   I_o = 10^{-12} (W/m^2)

\dfrac{102 }{10}= log_{10}( \dfrac{I}{10^{-12}})

10^{10.2} =  \dfrac{I}{10^{-12}}

I = 10^{10.2} \times 10^{-12}

I = 0.01585 W/m²

If we recall, we know remember that ;

Power = Intensity × A rea

Power = 0.01585 W/m² × 4 × 3.142 × (25 m)²

Power  = 124.50 W
