Answer:

E. at none of the above speeds

Explanation:

When current flowing through the metal then the speed of electrons in metal is not very high.

This speed of all electrons inside metal is opposite the the electric field which is due to the applied potential difference on the metal by external battery.

As we know that

\Delta V = i R

here for the current flowing in the metal the all the free electrons will move at drift speed which is given as

i = neAv_d

here speed of electrons will be

v_d = drift speed

n = number density of electrons

A = crossectional area

e = charge of an electron

in general this speed is very small and approximately of order cm/s

I believe its E.

Traveling through metal, electrons can not go the speed of light

It takes 20 N of force to move a box a distance of 10 m. How much work is done on the box?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Ans is 200 J

Explanation:

Given:  Force = 20N

            Distance = 10m

Work done  = Force * displacement

                    =  20 * 10

                    =  200 J

Use the claim to answer the question.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Scientific evidence such as reflection and photoelectric effect has proven the wave-particle model of electromagnetic radiation to be true.

<h3>What is electromagnet radiation?</h3>

Electromagnetic radiation is radiation produced as a result of the interactions of the electric and magnetic fields.

Some forms of electromagnetic radiation include:

  • radio waves
  • microwaves
  • ultraviolet radiation
  • visible light

Electromagnetic radiation can be described using a wave model or a particle model.

The wave property of electromagnetic radiation include:

  • diffraction
  • reflection
  • refraction

The particle property of electromagnetic radiation include:

  • photoelectric effect
  • Compton effect.

Therefore, the wave-particle model of electromagnetic radiation is correct because it can be backed up by experiments and evidence.

A street light is on top of a 9 foot pole. Joe, who is 3 feet tall, walks away from the pole at a rate of 4 feet per second. At
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:2 ft/s

Explanation:

Given

Length of Pole is 9 ft

Length of Joe is 3 ft

Joe walks away from Pole at the rate 4 ft/s

Let Joe is x m away from Pole so its shadow length is x'

From Similar triangle concept

\frac{x'}{x+x'}=\frac{3}{9}

3x'=x+x'

x=2x'

and it is given \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=4 ft/s

Differentiating

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=2\frac{\mathrm{d} x'}{\mathrm{d} t}

4=2\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x'}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{\mathrm{d} x'}{\mathrm{d} t}=2 ft/s
