Answer:

The current density is  J = 2.04 * 10^{6}  A /m^2

The drift velocity is  v_d = 1.5 * 10^{-4} m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The nominal diameter of the wire is d = 1.02 mm= \frac{1.02}{1000}  = 0.00102 \ m

   The current carried by the wire is I = 1.67 A

    The power rating of the lamp is P = 200 W

    The density of electron is n =  8.5 * 10^{28} \ e/m^3

   

The current density is mathematically represented as

       J = \frac{I}{A}

Where A is the area which is mathematically evaluated as

          A = \pi \frac{d^2}{4}

Substituting values

         A = 3.142 * \frac{(1.02  *  10^{-3})^2 }{4}

       A = 8.0*10^{-4}m^2

So

         J = \frac{1.67}{8.0*10^{-4}}

       J = 2.04 * 10^{6}  A /m^2

The drift velocity is mathematically represented as

       v_d  = \frac{J}{ne}

Where e is the charge on one electron which has a value  e = 1.602 *10^{-19} C

So

         v_d =\frac{2.04 * 10^6 }{8.5 *10^{28} * 1.6 * 10^{-19}}

        v_d = 1.5 * 10^{-4} m/s

bixtya [17]

Answer:42.43m/s

Explanation:According to vf=vi+at, we  can calculate it since v0 equals to 0. vf=0+9.8m/s^2*4.33s= 42.434m/s

A helium nucleus is composed of two protons (positively charged) and two neutrons (charge neutral). The distance between the two
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Using the given values

F = K q^2 / r^2 = 9 * 10E9 * (1.6 * E-19)^2 / (5.18 * E-15)^2 N

E = 9 * 1.6^2 / 5.18^2 * 10 = 8.5 N

A wheel of radius R, mass M, and moment of inertia I is mounted on a frictionless, horizontal axles. A light cord wrapped around
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

\alpha =\frac{m*g*R}{I-m*R^2}

a = \frac{m*g*R^2}{I-m*R^2}

T=\frac{I*m*g}{I-m*R^2}

Explanation:

By analyzing the torque on the wheel we get:

T*R=I*\alpha    Solving for T:   T=I/R*\alpha

On the object:

T-m*g = -m*a    Replacing our previous value for T:

I/R*\alpha-m*g = -m*a

The relation between angular and linear acceleration is:

a=\alpha*R

So,

I/R*\alpha-m*g = -m*\alpha*R

Solving for α:

\alpha =\frac{R*m*g}{I+m*R^2}

The linear acceleration will be:

a =\frac{R^2*m*g}{I+m*R^2}

And finally, the tension will be:

T =\frac{I*m*g}{I+m*R^2}

These are the values of all the variables: α, a, T
