So here you would have to do 
distance = time x speed.
distance is 889 meters
time is 15 seconds.
so 889 = 15 x speed
divide 15 on both sides.
889/15
Average speed is 59.2666667 m/s 
if it says in the question to round it then just round it. 
But whilst checking to see if this answer is correct, i did 59.2666667 multiplied by 15, which equals 889
hope this helped.

A 5.00-A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5 * 1028 free ele
evablogger [386]

Answer:

a)n= 3.125 x 10^{19 electrons.

b)J= 1.515 x 10^{6 A/m²

c)V_{d =1.114 x 10^{4m/s

d) see explanation

Explanation:

Current 'I' = 5A =>5C/s

diameter 'd'= 2.05 x 10^{-3 m

radius 'r' = d/2 => 1.025 x 10^{-3 m

no. of electrons 'n'= 8.5 x 10^{28}

a) the amount of electrons pass through the light bulb each second can be determined by:

I= Q/t

Q= I x t => 5 x 1

Q= 5C

As we know that: Q= ne

where e is the charge of electron i.e 1.6 x 10^{-19C

n= Q/e => 5/ 1.6 x 10^{-19

n= 3.125 x 10^{19 electrons.

b)  the current density 'J' in the wire is given by

J= I/A => I/πr²

J= 5 / (3.14 x (1.025x 10^{-3)²)

J= 1.515 x 10^{6 A/m²

c) The typical speed'V_{d' of an electron is given by:

V_{d = \frac{J}{n|q|}

    =1.515 x 10^{6 / 8.5 x 10^{28} x |-1.6 x 10^{-19|

V_{d =1.114 x 10^{4m/s

d) According to these equations,

J= I/A

V_{d = \frac{J}{n|q|} =\frac{I}{nA|q|}

If you were to use wire of twice the diameter, the current density and drift speed will change

Increase in the diameter increase the cross sectional area and decreases the current density as it has inverse relation.

Also drift velocity will decrease as it is inversely proportional to the area

"Compared to infrared radiation, does ultraviolet radiation have longer or shorter wavelengths? Does ultraviolet radiation have
balu736 [363]

Answer:Ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher energy than infrared radiation.

Explanation: Electromagnetic radiation radiations which have both electrical and magnetic properties,they can be transmitted through space or through a medium.

It includes Gamma radiation, infra-red, visible light, Ultraviolet radiation etc they occur with different wavelength, the lower the wavelength the higher the Energy dissipated per photon. According to their order of decreasing wavelength and increased energy they are classified as follows.

RADIO WAVE, MICRO WAVE, INFRA-RED, VISIBLE LIGHT, ULTRAVIOLET RAY, X-RAY, GAMMA RAYS.

Find the resistance of wire of<br>0.65m Radius 0.25<br>and<br>resistivity 3x10-6 OHM<br>​
densk [106]

Complete Question:

Find the resistance of a wire of length 0.65 m, radius 0.25 mm and resistivity 3 * 10^{-6} ohm-metre.

Answer:

Resistance = 9.95 Ohms

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Length = 0.65 m

Radius = 0.25 mm to meters = 0.00025 m

Resistivity = 3 * 10^{-6} ohm-metre.

To find the resistance of the wire;

Mathematically, resistance is given by the formula;

Resistance = P \frac {L}{A}

Where;

  • P is the resistivity of the material.
  • L is the length of the material.
  • A is the cross-sectional area of the material.

First of all, we would find the cross-sectional area of the wire.

Area of circle = πr²

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Area  = 3.142 * (0.00025)²

Area = 3.142 * 6.25 * 10^{-8}

Area = 1.96 * 10^{-7} m²

Now, to find the resistance of the wire;

Resistance = 3 * 10^{-6} * \frac {0.65}{1.96 * 10^{-7}}

Resistance = 3 * 10^{-6} * 3316326.531

<em>Resistance = 9.95 Ohms </em>

If the spring constant is doubled , what value does the period have for a mass on a spring?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

D. The period would decrease by sqrt (2)

Explanation:

The period of a mass-spring system is given by:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

where

m is the mass

k is the spring constant of the spring

If the spring constant is doubled,

k' = 2k

So the new period will be

T'=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{(2k)}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}})=\frac{T}{\sqrt{2}}

So the correct answer is

D. The period would decrease by sqrt (2)
