Answer:d

Explanation:

Drift velocity is given by

v_d=\frac{I}{n\times Q\times A}

where v_d=drift velocity

I=Current

n=no of electron

Q=charge of Electron

A=cross-section

If area of cross-section decreases gradually then drift velocity will increase because drift velocity is inversely proportional to Area of cross-section

A billiard ball travels 23 cm in the positive direction , hits the cushion and rebounds in the negative direction , and Finally
wel

Explanation :

Displacement refers to the distance between the final and the initial position. Hence the displacement of the ball will be the difference between the initial and the final displacement.

Let the initial position be 0.

Final position = 8 cm

So the difference between initial position and final position = 0 – 8 = - 8 cm.

So the billiard ball comes to rest 8.0 cm behind its orbital position.

A 4.1 object is lifted to a height of 4.5m above the surface of Earth.What is the potential energy of the object due to gravity?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

P = 180.81 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a object, m = 4.1 kg

It is lifted to a height of 4.5 m

We need to find the potential energy of the object due to gravity. It is given by the formula as follows :

P = mgh Where g is acceleration due to gravity

P = 4.1 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 4.5 m

P = 180.81 J

Hence, the potential energy is 180.81 J.

How much would a 75kg man weigh due to the effect of gravity
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: 735 N

Explanation:

Weight W is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object and is directly proportional to the product of the mass m of the body by the acceleration of gravity g:  

W=m.g

In the case of our planet Earth, the acceleration due gravity is g=9.8 m/s^{2}. So for a man whose mass is m=75 kg, his weight is:

W=(75 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})

W=735 N

Hey guys.. ans me
Stels [109]

The time taken by the swimmer was 1 hour.

Why?

Since the swimmer is maintaining an angle of 150° while he was swimming, there were two components of the speed (horizontal and vertical). If we want to calculate the time taken by him to cross the river, we need to calculate the vertical speed and consider that the flow's speed is compensated by his horizontal speed.

We can calculate both components of the speed using the following formula:

HorizontalSpeed=Speed*Cos(150\°)\\\\VerticalSpeed=Speed*Sin(150\°)

Now, calculating we have:

HorizontalSpeed=2\frac{Km}{h} *Cos(150\°)=-\sqrt{3} \frac{Km}{h} \\\\VerticalSpeed=2\frac{Km}{h} *Sin(150\°)=1\frac{Km}{h}

Therefore, we have that the horizontal speed is compesating the flow's speed while his vertical speed is used to cross the river which is 1 Km wide.

Hence, we have that the tame taken is:

Time=\frac{RiverWidth}{VerticalSpeed}=\frac{1Km}{1\frac{Km}{h} } =1h

Have a nice day!
