Answer:

a) 4.9*10^-6

b) 5.71*10^-15

Explanation:

Given

current, I = 3.8*10^-10A

Diameter, D = 2.5mm

n = 8.49*10^28

The equation for current density and speed drift is

J = I/A = (ne) Vd

A = πD²/4

A = π*0.0025²/4

A = π*6.25*10^-6/4

A = 4.9*10^-6

Now,

J = I/A

J = 3.8*10^-10/4.9*10^-6

J = 7.76*10^-5

Electron drift speed is

J = (ne) Vd

Vd = J/(ne)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/(8.49*10^28)*(1.60*10^-19)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/1.3584*10^10

Vd = 5.71*10^-15

Therefore, the current density and speed drift are 4.9*10^-6

And 5.71*10^-15 respectively

If a boat and its riders have a mass of 900 kg and the boat drifts in at 1.4 m/s how much work does sam do to stop it?
Rama09 [41]
The initial kinetic energy of the boat and its rider is
K_i =  \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2 =  \frac{1}{2}(900 kg)(1.4 m/s)^2=882 J

After Sam stops it, the final kinetic energy of the boat+rider is
K_f = 0 J
because its final velocity is zero.

For the law of conservation of energy, the work done by Sam is the variation of kinetic energy of the system:
W=K_f-K_i =0-882 J=-882 J
where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force Sam is applying goes against the direction of motion of the boat.

Find the intensity of a 55 dB sound given I 0=10^-12W/m^2
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

3.16 × 10^{-7} W/m^{2}

Explanation:

β(dB)=10 × log_{10}(\frac{I}{I_{0} })

I_{0}=10^{-12} W/m^{2}

β=55 dB

Therefore plugging into the equation the values,

55=10 log_{10}(\frac{I}{ [tex]10^{-12}})[/tex]

5.5= log_{10}(\frac{I}{ [tex]10^{-12}})[/tex]

10^{5.5}= \frac{I}{10^{-12} }

316227.76×10^{-12}= I

I= 3.16 × 10^{-7} W/m^{2}
