R = 0.407Ω.

The resistance  R of a particular conductor is related to the resistivity ρ of the material by  the equation R = ρL/A, where ρ is the material resistivity, L is the length of the material and A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the material.

To calculate the resistance R of a wire made of a material with resistivity of 3.2x10⁻⁸Ω.m, the length of the wire is 2.5m and its diameter is 0.50mm.

We have to use the equation R = ρL/A but first we have to calculate the cross-sectional area of the wire which is a circle. So, the area of a circle is given by A = πr², with r = d/2. The cross-sectional area of the wire is A = πd²/4.  Then:

R =[(3.2x10⁻⁸Ω.m)(2.5m)]/[π(0.5x10⁻³m)²/4]

R = 8x10⁻⁸Ω.m²/1.96x10⁻⁷m²

R = 0.407Ω

An electron moves in a circular path perpendicular to a magnetic field of magnitude 0.275 T. If the kinetic energy of the electr
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Radius, r=2.14\times 10^{-5}\ m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.275 T

Kinetic energy of the electron, E=4.9\times 10^{-19}\ J

Kinetic energy is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E}{m}}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 4.9\times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}}            

v = 1037749.04 m/s

The centripetal force is balanced by the magnetic force as :

qvB\ sin90=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}

r=\dfrac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1037749.04}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.275 }

r=2.14\times 10^{-5}\ m

So, the radius of the circular path is 2.14\times 10^{-5}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.

A piece of toast weighing 8 grams is flying through the air at 15
Ket [755]

The kinetic energy of toast is 0.06 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Kinetic energy is the way to determine the energy released when an object is in motion. In other times, it can be the energy required to move any object and to make it in motion.

As the mass of the toast is given as 8 g and speed is given as 15 m/s, if we ignore the friction caused by air molecules. Then the kinetic energy is the product of mass and square of velocity.

K.E. = \frac{1}{2} × mass × v²

Kinetic energy =\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{8}{1000} \times 15

Since, the weight is given in grams , it needed to be converted into kg.

Kinetic energy = 0.06 J

Thus, the kinetic energy of toast is 0.06 J.

Calculate the average linear momentum of a particle described by the following wavefunctions: (a) eikx, (b) cos kx, (c) e−ax2 ,
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

a) p=0, b) p=0, c) p= ∞

Explanation:

In quantum mechanics the moment operator is given by

              p = - i h’  d φ / dx

             h’= h / 2π

We apply this equation to the given wave functions

a)  φ = e^{ikx}

        .d φ dx = i k e^{ikx}

We replace

        p = h’ k e^{ikx}

        i i = -1

The exponential is a sine and cosine function, so its measured value is zero, so the average moment is zero

            p = 0

b) φ = cos kx

           p = h’ k sen kx

The average sine function is zero,

          p = 0

c) φ = e^{-ax^{2} }

         d φ / dx = -a 2x  e^{-ax^{2} }

         .p = i a g ’2x  e^{-ax^{2} }

       The average moment is

         p = (p₂ + p₁) / 2

         p = i a h ’(-∞ + ∞)

         p = ∞
