why it is not possible to determine drift velocity of electron by timing its travel through conductor.

Physics
1 answer:
gtnhenbr [62]3 years ago
6 0

The main reason is that electrons are too small to see. 

But even if you could see them, a better reason is the fact that
all electrons are identical.  So if you spotted one electron on its
way into the conductor, and then start watching the other end to
see when your electron gets there, you would see trillions of trillions
of trillions of electrons pouring out over there, and you'd have no way
to tell which electron is the one you're waiting for.

A stone is dropped from from rest at the top of a mine shaft. It takes 95 seconds for the stone to fall to the bottom of the min
Marianna [84]

Distance of fall from rest,
without air resistance              =  (1/2) (gravity) (time)²

                                             = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (95 sec)²

                                             =  (4.9 m/s²) (9,025 sec²)

                                             =        44,222.5 meters  .

The depth of the mine shaft is five times the height of Mt. Everest !

What is work - energy theorem ??​
Elden [556K]

The work-energy theorem explains the idea that the net work - the total work done by all the forces combined - done on an object is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object. After the net force is removed (no more work is being done) the object's total energy is altered as a result of the work that was done.

This idea is expressed in the following equation:

is the total work done

is the change in kinetic energy

is the final kinetic energy

is the initial kinetic energy

A flat sheet of ice has a thickness of 2.20 cm. It is on top of a flat sheet of crystalline quartz that has a thickness of 1.50
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Distance_{vaccum}=5.19cm

Explanation:

The speed of light in these mediums shall be lower than that in vacuum thus the total time light needs to cross both the media are calculated as under

Total time = Time taken through ice + Time taken through quartz

Time taken through ice = Thickness of ice / (speed of light in ice)

T_{ice}=\frac{2.20\times 10^{-2} \times \mu _{ice}}{V_{vaccum}}

T_{quartz}=\frac{1.50\times 10^{-2} \times \mu _{quartz}}{V_{vaccum}}

Thus in the same time the it would had covered a distance of

Distance_{vaccum}=Totaltime\times V_{vaccum}\\\\Distance_{vaccum}=10^{-2}[2.20\mu _{ice+1.50\mu _{quartz}}]

we have

\mu _{ice}=1.309\\\\\mu _{quartz}=1.542

Applying values we have

Distance_{vaccum}=10^{-2}[2.20\times 1.309+1.50\times 1.542]

Distance_{vaccum}=5.19cm
