LuckyWell [14K]3 years ago

Answer:

v = 2 v₁ v₂ / (v₁ + v₂)

Explanation:

The body travels the first half of the distance with velocity v₁.  The time it takes is:

t₁ = (d/2) / v₁

t₁ = d / (2v₁)

Similarly, the body travels the second half with velocity v₂, so the time is:

t₂ = (d/2) / v₂

t₂ = d / (2v₂)

The average velocity is the total displacement over total time:

v = d / t

v = d / (t₁ + t₂)

v = d / (d / (2v₁) + d / (2v₂))

v = d / (d/2 (1/v₁ + 1/v₂))

v = 2 / (1/v₁ + 1/v₂)

v = 2 / ((v₁ + v₂) / (v₁ v₂))

v = 2 v₁ v₂ / (v₁ + v₂)

What is the total resistance in the circuit? (include unit in answer - ohms)
solmaris [256]

Answer:60 ohms

Explanation:

R1=30 ohms

R2=15 ohms

R3=15 ohms

Let the total resistance be R

R=R1 + R2 + R3

R=30 + 15 +15

R=60

Total resistance is 60 ohms

Calculate the average drift speed of electrons traveling through a copper wire with a crosssectional area of 80 mm2 when carryin
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 2.8*10^{-5}ms^{-1}

Explanation:

The formula for the electron drift speed is given as follows,

u=I/nAq

where n is the number of of electrons per unit m³, q is the charge on an electron and A is the cross-sectional area of the copper wire and I is the current. We see that we already have A , q and I. The only thing left to calculate is the electron density n that is the number of electrons per unit volume.

Using the information provided in the question we can see that the number of moles of copper atoms in a cm³ of volume of the conductor is 8.93/63.5 molcm^{-3}. Converting this number to m³ using very elementary unit conversion we get 140384molm^{-3}. If we multiply this number by the Avagardo number which is the number of atoms per mol of any gas , we get the number of atoms per m³ which in this case is equal to the number of electron per m³ because one electron per atom of copper contribute to the current. So we get,

n=140384*6.02*10^{23} = 8.45*10^{28}electrons.m^{-3}

if we convert the area from mm³ to m³ we get A=80*10^{-6}m^{2}.So now that we have n, we plug in all the values of A ,I ,q and n into the main equation to obtain,

u=30/(8.45*10^{28}*80*10^{-6}*1.602*10^{-19})\\u=2.8*10^{-5}m.s^{-1}

which is our final answer.

In an experiment, you find the mass of a cart to be 250 grams. What is the mass of the cart in kilograms?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
It should be 0.25kg because you converter from g to kg and since 1g<1kg so you move the decimal to the left
