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

Three forces act on an object. a 3 n force acts due east and a 8 n force acts due north. if the net force on the object is zero,
Bingel [31]

The third force C is in the opposite direction of the sum of the first two forces, A+B, but the magnitude is the same as A+B  

Since A & B are at right angles we can just use Pythagoras and trig:  

A+B magnitude = sqrt(6^2 + 3^2) = 6.71  

A+B angle = arctan(6/3) deg north of east = 63.4 deg (first quadrant)

So C magnitude = 6.71 (same as A+B)  

[C angle = 63.4 deg south of west (third quadrant) = -180+63.4 deg polar = -116.6 deg

Which are properties of both a gas and a plasma? Check all that apply.
wlad13 [49]
<span>The answer is  4, 6 and 7. Gas and plasma share most similar properties. The difference lies in the fact that plasma is composed of ions and electrons (ionized  gas) as opposed to gas that is composed of neutral molecules. Therefore plasma can conduct electricity while gas cannot. </span>

A chain 72 meters long whose mass is 29 kilograms is hanging over the edge of a tall building and does not touch the ground. How
dangina [55]

Answer:

Work done required is 3567.2 J

Explanation:

Given :

Length of chain, l = 72 m

Mass of chain, M = 29 kg

Linear mass density of chain, μ = \frac{Mass\ of\ chain }{Length\ of\ chain} = \frac{29}{72}  = 0.40 kg/m

Let x be the length of the chain which lift to the top of the building.

Work done required to lift the chain is equal to the potential energy of the chain.

W = ∫μg (72 - x ) dx

Here g is acceleration due to gravity.

The limit of integration is from 0 to 14.

W = μg ( 72x - x²/2)

Substitute 0.40 kg/m for μ, 9.8 m/s² for g and 14 m for x in the above equation.

W = 0.40\times9.8\times(72\times14\ - \frac{14^{2} }{2})

W = 3567.2 J

Three identical 6.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up
Westkost [7]

Answer:

24 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the cube = 6.0 kg

Consider the three cubes together as one.

M = mass of the three cubes together = 3 m = 3 (6.0) = 18 kg

a = acceleration of the combination = 2 ms⁻²

F = Force applied on the combination

Using Newton's second law

F = ma = (18) (2) = 36 N

F_{L} = Force by the left cube on the middle cube

Consider the forces acting on left cube, from the force diagram, we have

F - F_{L} = ma \\36 - F_{L} = (6) (2)\\F_{L} = 24 N

What is the acceleration of Karla's I Phone being thrown from Mr. Higley's classroom at 0m/s if it hits the wall 1.2 seconds lat
blagie [28]

The acceleration of Karla's I IPhone being thrown from Mr. Higley's classroom at 0 m/s will be 29.16 m/s²

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

The rate of velocity change concerning time is known as acceleration. According to Newton's second law, the eventual effect of all forces applied to a body is its acceleration.

The pace at which a body's velocity varies is represented by acceleration, which is a vector quantity.

The given data in the problem is given by ;

u is the initial speed =  0 m/sec

v is the final speed= 35  m/sec

t is the time interval= 1.2 second

a is the acceleration=? m/sec²

The formula for acceleration is;

\rm a=\frac{v-u}{t} \\\\ a= \frac{35-0}{1.2} \\\\ a= 29.16 \ m./s^2

Hence, the acceleration of Karla's iPhone being thrown from Mr. Higley's classroom at 0 m/s will be 29.16 m/s²
