Wire A has the same length and twice the radius of wire B. Both wires are made of the same material and carry the same current.

Which of the following equations is true concerning the drift velocities vA and vB of electrons in the wires?a. vA = vB/4b. vA = vB/2c. vA = 4vBd. vA = vBe. vA = 2vB

Answer:

V_A= \frac{I_A}{n_A e A_A}= \frac{I}{ne 4A_B}= \frac{1}{4} \frac{I}{neA_B}

V_B= \frac{I_B}{n_B e A_B}= \frac{I}{ne A_B}

And as we can see we have that:

V_A = \frac{1}{4} V_B

So then the best answer would be:

a. vA = vB/4

Explanation:

For this case we know the following conditions:

L_A = L_B =L same length

I_A = I_B =I both wires with the same current

Both wires are made of he same material, so then the number of electrons per cubic meter (n) are the same for both wires n_A = n_B =n

We also know that r_A = 2 r_B where r represent the radius.

Since we know that a wire have a cylindrical form we can find the area for each case:

A_A= \pi r^2_A = \pi (2r_B)^2 = 4 \pi r^2_B= 4 A_B

A_B = \pi r^2_B

So then we have that A_A = 4 A_B

Now we know that from the definition the drift velocity of electron in a wire is given by:

v_d = \frac{I}{neA}

Where I is the current, n the number of electrons per cubic meter, e is the charge for the electron and A the area.

If we replace we have this:

V_A= \frac{I_A}{n_A e A_A}= \frac{I}{ne 4A_B}= \frac{1}{4} \frac{I}{neA_B}

V_B= \frac{I_B}{n_B e A_B}= \frac{I}{ne A_B}

And as we can see we have that:

V_A = \frac{1}{4} V_B

So then the best answer would be:

a. vA = vB/4

A heat pump has a coefficient of performance of 7.05. If the heat pump absorbs 20 cal of heat from the cold outdoors in each cycle, find the heat expelled to the warm indoors. Answer in units of cal. I believe COP (heating mode) : 7.05 and COP = Qh/W Qc = 20 cal so I have to find Qh= ? cal I dont know an equation to put all this together? Please help, thank you.

What is space time?​
Kay [80]
In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model which fuses the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional manifold. Spacetime diagrams can be used to visualize relativistic effects, such as why different observers perceive where and when events occur differently.

19. After a snowstorm, you put on your frictionless skis and tie a rope to the back of your friend’s truck. Your total mass is 7
Kisachek [45]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Total mass is 70 kg

The truck exerts a constant force of 20 N.

Then the net force is given by :

F = ma

a is acceleration of rider

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{20}{70}\\\\a=\dfrac{2}{7}\ m/s^2

Initial velocity of rider is 0. So, using equation of kinematics to find the final velocity as :

v=u+at\\\\v=at\\\\v=\dfrac{2}{7}\times 15\\\\v=4.28\ m/s

Since, 1 m/s = 2.23 mph

4.28 m/s = 9.57 mph

So, the speed of the rider is 4.28 m/s or 9.57 mph.
