Answer:

It depends on the product of their mass and velocity

Explanation:

The momentum of a moving object is defined as the product of its mass and its moving velocity. So a same object would have larger momentum it's traveling faster, or gets heavier, and vice versa. In our case we don't have the exact value of speed and mass of both objects so we can't say which one has a greater momentum.

A 5.0-kg bar of lead is placed inside a 12-L chamber filled with helium gas. The temperature of the lead and helium is the same.

Pavlova-9 [17]

As the temperature of the lead and helium is the same. Thus the average kinetic energy is also the same for lead and helium.

Reason:

It is given that a 5.0-kg bar of lead is placed inside a 12-L chamber filled with helium gas. The temperature of the lead and helium is the same. It is required to compare the average kinetic energy of the lead atoms and helium atoms.

The average kinetic energy is calculated as, $K=\frac{3}{2} \frac{R}{N} T$ .

Here K is the average kinetic energy, R is the gas constant, N is the Avogadro's number, and T is the temperature.

As the temperature is the same for both lead and helium. As a result, the average kinetic energy is also the same for lead and helium.

Should you be worried if a n eighteen wheeler truck is riding close behind your car? Explain why or why not. Please help me D:

xz_007 [3.2K]

For some reasons, no. If the driver looks focused and has experience, then it would be okay. Again, it could be dangerous if you bump into the truck, it would cause damage to you and your passengers.

Mostly, I would agree with 'No'. :)

An aluminum wire having a cross-sectional area equal to 2.20 10-6 m2 carries a current of 4.50 A. The density of aluminum is 2.7

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The drift speed of the electrons in the wire is 2.12x10⁻⁴ m/s.

Explanation:

We can find the drift speed by using the following equation:

$v = \frac{I}{nqA}$

Where:

I: is the current = 4.50 A

n: is the number of electrons

q: is the modulus of the electron's charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C

A: is the cross-sectional area = 2.20x10⁻⁶ m²

We need to find the number of electrons:

$n = \frac{6.022\cdot 10^{23} atoms}{1 mol}*\frac{1 mol}{26.982 g}*\frac{2.70 g}{1 cm^{3}}*\frac{(100 cm)^{3}}{1 m^{3}} = 6.03 \cdot 10^{28} atom/m^{3}$

Now, we can find the drift speed:

$v = \frac{I}{nqA} = \frac{4.50 A}{6.03 \cdot 10^{28} atom/m^{3}*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*2.20 \cdot 10^{-6} m^{2}} = 2.12 \cdot 10^{-4} m/s$

Therefore, the drift speed of the electrons in the wire is 2.12x10⁻⁴ m/s.

I hope it helps you!
