Answer:

V_d = 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Density of copper, ρ = 8.93 g/cm³

mass, M = 63.5 g/mol

Radius of wire = 0.625 mm

Current, I = 3A

Area of the wire, A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = A = \frac{\pi 0.625^2}{4}

Now,

The current density, J is given as

J=\frac{I}{A}=\frac{3}{ \frac{\pi 0.625^2}{4}}= 2444619.925 A/mm²

now, the electron density, n = \frac{\rho}{M}N_A

where,

N_A=Avogadro's Number

n = \frac{8.93}{63.5}(6.2\times 10^{23})=8.719\times 10^{28}\ electrons/m^3

Now,

the drift velocity, V_d

V_d=\frac{J}{ne}

where,

e = charge on electron = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

thus,

V_d=\frac{2444619.925}{8.719\times 10^{28}\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})e} = 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

Answer:

The drift velocity of electrons in a copper wire is 1.756\times10^{-4}\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Density \rho=8.93\ g/cm^3

Mass M=63.5\ g/mol

Radius = 0.625 mm

Current = 3 A

We need to calculate the drift velocity

Using formula of drift velocity

v_{d}=\dfrac{J}{ne}

Where, n = number of electron

j = current density

We need to calculate the current density

Using formula of current density

J=\dfrac{I}{\pi r^2}

J=\dfrac{3}{3.14\times(0.625\times10^{-3})^2}

J=2.45\times10^{6}\ A/m^2

Now, we calculate the number of electron

Using formula of number of electron

n=\dfrac{\rho}{M}N_{A}

n=\dfrac{8.93\times10^{6}}{63.5}\times6.2\times10^{23}

n=8.719\times10^{28}\ electron/m^3

Now put the value of n and current density into the formula of drift velocity

v_{d}=\dfrac{2.45\times10^{6}}{8.719\times10^{28}\times1.6\times10^{-19}}

v_{d}=1.756\times10^{-4}\ m/s

Hence, The drift velocity of electrons in a copper wire is 1.756\times10^{-4}\ m/s

A 125-kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of 2.50 m/s by pushing off with her legs from a 1900-kg space capsule
ryzh [129]

(a) 0.165 m/s

The total initial momentum of the astronaut+capsule system is zero (assuming they are both at rest, if we use the reference frame of the capsule):

p_i = 0

The final total momentum is instead:

p_f = m_a v_a + m_c v_c

where

m_a = 125 kg is the mass of the astronaut

v_a = 2.50 m/s is the velocity of the astronaut

m_c = 1900 kg is the mass of the capsule

v_c is the velocity of the capsule

Since the total momentum must be conserved, we have

p_i = p_f = 0

so

m_a v_a + m_c v_c=0

Solving the equation for v_c, we find

v_c = - \frac{m_a v_a}{m_c}=-\frac{(125 kg)(2.50 m/s)}{1900 kg}=-0.165 m/s

(negative direction means opposite to the astronaut)

So, the change in speed of the capsule is 0.165 m/s.

(b) 520.8 N

We can calculate the average force exerted by the capsule on the man by using the impulse theorem, which states that the product between the average force and the time of the collision is equal to the change in momentum of the astronaut:

F \Delta t = \Delta p

The change in momentum of the astronaut is

\Delta p= m\Delta v = (125 kg)(2.50 m/s)=312.5 kg m/s

And the duration of the push is

\Delta t = 0.600 s

So re-arranging the equation we find the average force exerted by the capsule on the astronaut:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{312.5 kg m/s}{0.600 s}=520.8 N

And according to Newton's third law, the astronaut exerts an equal and opposite force on the capsule.

(c) 25.9 J, 390.6 J

The kinetic energy of an object is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m is the mass

v is the speed

For the astronaut, m = 125 kg and v = 2.50 m/s, so its kinetic energy is

K=\frac{1}{2}(125 kg)(2.50 m/s)^2=390.6 J

For the capsule, m = 1900 kg and v = 0.165 m/s, so its kinetic energy is

K=\frac{1}{2}(1900 kg)(0.165 m/s)^2=25.9 J

A pool ball moving 1.83 m/s strikes an identical ball at rest. Afterward, the first ball moves 1.15 m/s at a 23.3 degrees angle.
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

 v_{1fy} = - 0.4549 m / s

Explanation:

This is an exercise of conservation of the momentum, for this we must define a system formed by the two balls, so that the forces during the collision have internal and the momentum is conserved

initial. Before the crash

      p₀ = m v₁₀

final. After the crash

      p_{f} = m v_{1f} + m v_{2f}

Recall that velocities are a vector so it has x and y components

       p₀ = p_{f}

we write this equation for each axis

X axis

       m v₁₀ = m v_{1fx} + m v_{2fx}

       

Y Axis  

       0 = -m v_{1fy} + m v_{2fy}

the exercise tells us the initial velocity v₁₀ = 1.83 m / s, the final velocity v_{2f} = 1.15, let's use trigonometry to find its components

      sin 23.3 = v_{2fy} / v_{2f}

      cos 23.3 = v_{2fx} / v_{2f}

      v_{2fy} = v_{2f} sin 23.3

      v_{2fx} = v_{2f} cos 23.3

we substitute in the momentum conservation equation

       m v₁₀ = m v_{1f} cos θ + m v_{2f} cos 23.3

       0 = - m v_{1f} sin θ + m v_{2f} sin 23.3

      1.83 = v_{1f} cos θ + 1.15 cos 23.3

       0 = - v_{1f} sin θ + 1.15 sin 23.3

      1.83 = v_{1f} cos θ + 1.0562

        0 = - v_{1f} sin θ + 0.4549

     v_{1f} sin θ = 0.4549

     v_{1f}  cos θ = -0.7738

we divide these two equations

      tan θ = - 0.5878

      θ = tan-1 (-0.5878)

       θ = -30.45º

we substitute in one of the two and find the final velocity of the incident ball

        v_{1f} cos (-30.45) = - 0.7738

        v_{1f} = -0.7738 / cos 30.45

        v_{1f} = -0.8976 m / s

the component and this speed is

       v_{1fy} = v1f sin θ

       v_{1fy} = 0.8976 sin (30.45)

       v_{1fy} = - 0.4549 m / s
