You are presented with several wires made of the same conducting material. The radius and drift speed are given for each wire in

terms of some unknown units \rm r and \rm v. Rank the wires in order of decreasing electron current.Rank from most to least electron current.a) radius=3r, drift speed=1vb) radius=4r, drift speed=0.5vc) radius=1r, drift speed=5vd) radius=2r, drift speed=2.5v

\begin{array}{ccc}&\text{Radius} & \text{Drift Speed}\\d) & 2 \; r &2.5 \; v\\a) & 3 \; r &1 \; v\\b) & 4 \; r &0.5 \; v\\c) & 1 \; r &5 \; v\\\end{array}

<h3>Explanation</h3>

I = v \cdot A \cdot n \cdot q,

where

  • I is the current;
  • v is the drift speed;
  • A is the cross-section area of the wire,
  • n is the number of charge carrier per unit volume, and
  • q is the charge on each charge carrier.

Area of a circular cross-section:

A = \pi \cdot r^{2},

where

  • r is the radius of the wire.

n and q are the same for all four samples, for they are made out of the same material.

As a result, I of each wire is directly proportional to v \cdot r^{2} where the value of \pi \cdot n \cdot q is constant.

For each of the four wires:

\begin{array}{ccc|c}\\& r & v &I \propto v\cdot r^{2}\\a) & 3 & 1 & 9\\b) & 4 & 0.5 & 8\\c) & 1 & 5 & 5\\d) & 2 & 2.5 & 10\\\end{array}.

How do the four wires rank by their current?

d > a > b > c.

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

When a body is immersed in liquid there will be two force is acting on the body.

First one force acting downward due to weight of the body.

And the second force acting on the object will be buoyant force.

If the object is not in equilibrium the apparent weight will be equal to net force acting on the object.

     F_{net} = W - F_b

W is the weight of the object acting downward

Fb is the buoyancy force acting upward on the object.

Hence, the correct answer is option B

When the bug is stationary and creating waves, how does the frequency of the wave some distance away from the bug compare with t
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The frequency is the same

Explanation:

When a wave is created by a source which is vibrating at a certain frequency, the frequency of the wave itself is equal to the frequency of the source.

This occurs with every kind of wave. For instance, if we consider the radio waves produced by an antenna, the frequency of the radio waves is equal to the frequency of the antenna.

In this case, the waves are created by the vibrating bug. The bug is vibrating with a certain frequency f: as a consequence, the frequency f' of the waves produced by the bug will be equal to the frequency of vibration of the bug:

f'=f.

Trumpeter A holds a B-flat note on the trumpet for a long time. Person C is running towards the trumpeter at a constant velocity
Vikki [24]
You didn't mention it, but the trumpeter herself has to be standing still.

<span>Person C, the one running towards the trumpeter, hears a pitch
that is higher than B-flat.  (A)

Person B, the one running away from the trumpeter, hears a pitch
that is lower than B-flat.

Person D, the one standing still the whole time, hears the B-flat.</span>

Mrs. Paul and Dr. Mykannen ride a tandem bike on the beach. They ride along the beach for about 455 meters. Their final velocity
algol [13]

Answer:

Time = 80.91 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Velocity = 5.50 m/s.

Distance = 445 meters

To find the time;

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

5.5 = 445/time

Time = 445/5.5

Time = 80.91 seconds
