Answer:

1.87 A

Explanation:

τ = mean time between collisions for electrons = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ s

d = diameter of copper wire = 2 mm = 2 x 10⁻³ m

Area of cross-section of copper wire is given as

A = (0.25) πd²

A = (0.25) (3.14) (2 x 10⁻³)²

A = 3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²

E = magnitude of electric field = 0.01 V/m

e = magnitude of charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

n = number density of free electrons in copper = 8.47 x 10²² cm⁻³ = 8.47 x 10²⁸ m⁻³

i = magnitude of current

magnitude of current is given as

i = \frac{Ane^{2}\tau E}{m}

i = \frac{(3.14\times 10^{-6})(8.47\times 10^{28})(1.6\times 10^{-19})^{2}(2.5\times 10^{-14}) (0.01)}{(9.1\times 10^{-31})}

i  = 1.87 A

A proton and an electron are moving in the +x direction in a magnetic field in the +z
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on a moving charge is given by the following relation

F = q ( v x B )

for proton

q = e  ,   v = vi  , B = Bk

F = e ( vi x Bk )

= Bev - j

= - Bevj

The direction of force is along negative of y axis or -y - axis.

for electron

q = - e  ,   v = vi  , B = Bk

F = - e ( vi x Bk )

= - Bev - j

=  Bevj

The direction of force is along positive  of y axis or + y - axis.

When landing from a jump, a basketball player of mass 82 kg has a velocity of 1.2 m/s right before they hit the ground. The play
saw5 [17]

Answer:

2361.6N

Explanation:

Mass of player = 82kg

Velocity = 1.2m/s

Kinetic energy of player:

= 1/2mv²

= 1/2*82*1.2²

= 41x1.44

= 59.04J

Final kinetic energy = 0

Change in kinetic energy

|∆k| = |0-59.04|

= 59.04

Workdone by the feet = fd

d = 0.025

Fd = 59.04

F = 59.04/0.025

= 2361.6N

This is his average force.

All isotopes of a particular element have the same atomic number. How then do the isotopes of a particular element differ?
xz_007 [3.2K]
Isotopes of an element will contain the same number of protons and electrons but will differ in the number of neutrons they contain. In other words, isotopes have the same atomic number because they are the same element but have a different atomic mass because they contain a different number of neutrons
