<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. Gravity pulled particles of dust and gas together to form planets.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The formation of the solar system took place about 4.6 billion years ago when gravity pulled together low-density cloud of interstellar gas and dust. In other words gravity pulled dust and gas particles together to form planets.</u></em>
  • It is believed that the solar system formed from an explosion that caused a disturbance of cloud of gas and dust in space. The explosion formed waves that squeezed the cloud and dust particles. Squeezing made the cloud start to collapse, as gravity pulled the gas and dust together, forming a solar nebula and then planets were formed.
  • <em><u>Gravity is important as It keeps the solar system together because without it the planets including the earth would be floating around.</u></em>

For copper, ρ = 8.93 g/cm3 and M = 63.5 g/mol. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, what is the drift velocity of electro
viktelen [127]

Answer:

V_d = 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Density of copper, ρ = 8.93 g/cm³

mass, M = 63.5 g/mol

Radius of wire = 0.625 mm

Current, I = 3A

Area of the wire, A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = A = \frac{\pi 0.625^2}{4}

Now,

The current density, J is given as

J=\frac{I}{A}=\frac{3}{ \frac{\pi 0.625^2}{4}}= 2444619.925 A/mm²

now, the electron density, n = \frac{\rho}{M}N_A

where,

N_A=Avogadro's Number

n = \frac{8.93}{63.5}(6.2\times 10^{23})=8.719\times 10^{28}\ electrons/m^3

Now,

the drift velocity, V_d

V_d=\frac{J}{ne}

where,

e = charge on electron = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

thus,

V_d=\frac{2444619.925}{8.719\times 10^{28}\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})e} = 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

A basketball player jumped straight up to grab a rebound. If she was in the air for 0.80 second, how high did she jump?
Kazeer [188]
-- She went up for 0.4 sec and down for 0.4 sec.

-- The vertical distance traveled in gravity during ' t ' seconds is

                   D  =  (1/2)  x  (g)  x  (t)²

                       = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (0.4 sec)²

                       =    (4.9 m/s²)  x  (0.16 s²)

                       =      0.784 meter        ( B )
