The diameter of a 12-gauge copper wire is 0.081 in. The maximum safe current it can carry (in order to prevent fire danger in bu

ilding construction) is 20 A. At this current, what is the drift velocity of the electrons? The number of electron carriers in 1.0 cm3 of copper is 8.5 × 1022 and e = 1.60 × 10-19 C.

Answer:

Explanation:

v = I / (n q A)

where A is the cross sectional area (you are given diameter, so A = (pi/4) * d^2), n is the number of charge carriers in a volume, and q is the charge of each carrier (-1.60x10^-19). I is the current, in Amps.  

You will need to either convert your diameter from inches to centimeters or you will need to convert your volume in cc to cubic inches. I'd convert diameter.

The Earth's escape speed (the speed you need to get away forever) is about 40,000 kilometers per hour. Escape speed depends on t
Anvisha [2.4K]

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

  • What is escape speed:

The minimum speed that is required for an object to free itself from the gravitational force exerted by a massive object.

The formula of escape speed is

  • v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }

where

v is escape velocity

G is universal gravitational constant

M is mass of the body to be escaped from

r is distance from the center of the mass

we can say that,

Escape speed depends on the gravity of the object trying to hold the spacecraft from escaping.

we know that,

The Moon's surface gravity is about 1/6th as powerful or about 1.6 meters per second per second.

since, v ∝ g

The Moon s escape speed will be smaller than Earth's.

Spaceship 1 and Spaceship 2 have equal masses of 300kg. They collide. Spaceship 1's final speed is 3 m/s, and Spaceship 2's fina
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

B. 1500 kg*m/s

Explanation:

Momentum p = m* v

In any type of collision, the total momentum is preserved!

The total momentum before and the total momentum after the collision is the same. We know the mass and speed after the collision so we can calculate the total momentum.

p1 + p2 =

m1*v1 + m2*v2

m1 = me = 300 kg

v1 = 3 m/s

v2 = 2 m/s

Substitute the given numbers:

300*3 + 300+2

900 + 600

1500 kg*m/s, which is answer B.

A 1060-kg car moving west at 16 m/s collides with and locks onto a 1830-kg stationary car. determine the velocity of the cars ju
iren [92.7K]
M1U1 + M2V2 = (M1+M2)V, where M1 is the mass of the moving car, M2 is the mass of the stationary car, U1 is the initial velocity, and V is the common velocity after collision.
therefore; 
(1060× 16) + (1830 ×0) = (1060 +1830) V
 16960 = 2890 V
      V = 5.869 m/s
The velocity of the cars after collision will be 5.689 m/s
