A silver wire has a cross sectional area a = 2.0 mm2. a total of 9.4 × 1018 electrons pass through the wire in 3.0 s. the conduc

tion electron density in silver is 5.8 × 1028 electrons/m3 and e = 1.60 × 10-19
c. what is the drift velocity of these electrons?

This problem uses the relationships among current I, current density J, and drift speed vd. We are given the total of electrons that pass through the wire in t = 3s and the area A, so we use the following equation to to find vd, from J and the known electron density n, so: 

v_{d} =  \frac{J}{n\left | q \right |}

<span>The current I is any motion of charge from one region to another, so this is given by:

</span>I = \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{9.4x1018electrons}{3s} = 3189.73(A)

The magnitude of the current density is:

J = \frac{I}{A} = \frac{3189.73}{2x10^{-6}} = 1594.86(A/m^{2})

Being:

A=2mm^{2} = 2x10^{-6}m^{2}
<span>
Finally, for the drift velocity magnitude vd, we find:

</span>v_{d} = \frac{1594.86}{5.8x1028\left |1.60x10^{-19}|\right } = 1.67x10^{18}(m/s)

Notice: The current I is very high for this wire. The given values of the variables are a little bit odd

Answer:

person when the point-light walker is moving

Explanation:

A point light walker is an arrangement of dots that moves in a way that mimics a human walking. This is used in the field of Biological Motion Perception.

Biological motion perception is the science that deals with how our brain perceives motion. In order to understand how the brain perceives motion a point light walker is used.

If two bicycles of same masses move at different velocities,it will be easier to stop the bicycle that is moving at lower veloci
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

It is easier to stop the bicycle moving at a lower velocity because it will require a <em>smaller force</em> to stop it when compared to a bicycle with a higher velocity that needs a<em> bigger force.</em>

Explanation:

The question above is related to "Newton's Law of Motion." According to the <em>Third Law of Motion</em>, whenever an object exerts a force on another object <em>(action force)</em>, an equal force is exerted against it. This force is of the same magnitude but opposite direction.

When it comes to moving bicycles, the force that stops their movement is called "friction." Applying the law of motion, the higher the speed, the higher the force<em> </em>that is needed to stop it while the lower the speed, the lower the force<em> </em>that is needed to stop it.

What is the definition of speed and the formula for calculation?
pashok25 [27]
For a body moving at a uniform velocity you can calculate the speed by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of time it took, for example one mile in 1/2 hour would give you 2 miles per hour. If the velocity is non-uniform all you can say is what the average speed is.
