The work done in moving an electron through the 3 ohm resistor is

Physics

Orlov [11]3 years ago

If the 3 ohm resistor is in parallel to the 12 ohm (I can't see it in the image) then the current through it is 12V/3ohm = 4A  Amps are Coulombs/s  The charge on the electron is 1.6e-19C   So 4 amps means 4/1.6e-19 = 2.5e19 electrons/s.
The reciprocal of this gives the number of electrons per second:
1/2.5e19 = 4e-20 s/(elect. charge)
The power in the 3 ohm resistor is 12*4=48W.  This is Joules/sec.  We know it takes on average 4e-20 s to get one electron charge through the resistor so we multiply:  48W * 4e-20s = 1.9e-18J
Note: In reality there are many electrons moving through the resistor together, and a single electron does not move this fast, but the total energy to do it would be equivalent to this.

On the modern periodic table, elements are ordered according to what?
sweet [91]

The periodic table of elements arranges all of the known chemical elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order generally coincides with increasing atomic mass. The rows are called periods.

The main difference between a chest and a bounce pass is what?
snow_lady [41]

Answer: The main difference between the three is the mode of transmission. The chest pass is straight through the air towards your teammate. While the bounce pass is directed toward the ground and then at your teammate. Finally, the overhead pass is projected high in the air to avoid defenders.

A thin rod of length 0.75 m and mass 0.42 kg is suspended
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

a)  K = 0.63 J, b)  h = 0.153 m

Explanation:

a) In this exercise we have a physical pendulum since the rod is a material object, the angular velocity is

         w² = \frac{m g d}{I}

where d is the distance from the pivot point to the center of mass and I is the moment of inertia.

The rod is a homogeneous body so its center of mass is at the geometric center of the rod.

              d = L / 2

the moment of inertia of the rod is the moment of a rod supported at one end

              I = ⅓ m L²

we substitute

            w = \sqrt{\frac{mgL}{2}  \ \frac{1}{\frac{1}{3} mL^2} }

            w = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}  \ \frac{g}{L} }

            w = \sqrt{ \frac{3}{2} \ \frac{9.8}{0.75}  }

            w = 4.427 rad / s

an oscillatory system is described by the expression

              θ = θ₀ cos (wt + Φ)

the angular velocity is

             w = dθ /dt

             w = - θ₀ w sin (wt + Ф)

In this exercise, the kinetic energy is requested in the lowest position, in this position the energy is maximum. For this expression to be maximum, the sine function must be equal to ±1

In the exercise it is indicated that at the lowest point the angular velocity is

           w = 4.0 rad / s

the kinetic energy is

           K = ½ I w²

           K = ½ (⅓ m L²) w²

           K = 1/6 m L² w²

           K = 1/6 0.42 0.75² 4.0²

           K = 0.63 J

b) for this part let's use conservation of energy

starting point. Lowest point

             Em₀ = K = ½ I w²

final point. Highest point

             Em_f = U = m g h

energy is conserved

             Em₀ = Em_f

             ½ I w² = m g h

             ½ (⅓ m L²) w² = m g h

             h = 1/6 L² w² / g

             h = 1/6 0.75² 4.0² / 9.8

             h = 0.153 m
