<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Given:

  • A metallic wire has a diameter of 4.12 mm → r = 2.06 mm = 2.06 · 10⁻³ m
  • The current in the wire is I = 8.00 A = 8.00 C/s
  • The average drift velocity is v = 5.40 · 10⁻⁵ m/s.
  • The elementary charge Q or e = 1.60 ∙ 10⁻¹⁹  C

Question:

What is the density of free electrons in the metal?

Expressed as n = number of charges carriers per unit volume.

The Process:

Drift velocity, or it can be also referred to as axial drift velocity, represents the average velocity with which the free electrons drift under the influence of an external field.

The relationship between I, n, q, A, and v can be written as a formula, i.e.,

\boxed{ \ I = nAQv \ } and for electrons, \boxed{ \ I = nAev \ }

We set n as the subject being asked, so \boxed{ \ n = \frac{I}{Aev} \ }

Prepare the cross-sectional area.

\boxed{ \ A = \pi r^2 \rightarrow  A = \pi (2.06 \cdot 10^{-3} )^2=1.33 \cdot 10^{-5} \   m^2 \ }

And now, let us find out the number of n. Substitute all the data above into the formula.

\boxed{ \ n = \frac{8.00 \ Cs^{-1}}{(1.33 \cdot 10^{-5} \ m^2)(1.60 \cdot 10^{-19} \ C)(5.40 \cdot 10^{-5} \ ms^{-1})} \ }

Thus, the density of free electrons in the metal is \boxed{ \ n=6.96 \cdot 10^{28} \ m^{-3} \ }

The international space station makes 15.65 revolutions per day in its orbit around the earth. assuming a circular orbit, how hi
sweet-ann [11.9K]
<span>373.2 km The formula for velocity at any point within an orbit is v = sqrt(mu(2/r - 1/a)) where v = velocity mu = standard gravitational parameter (GM) r = radius satellite currently at a = semi-major axis Since the orbit is assumed to be circular, the equation is simplified to v = sqrt(mu/r) The value of mu for earth is 3.986004419 Ă— 10^14 m^3/s^2 Now we need to figure out how many seconds one orbit of the space station takes. So 86400 / 15.65 = 5520.767 seconds And the distance the space station travels is 2 pi r, and since velocity is distance divided by time, we get the following as the station's velocity 2 pi r / 5520.767 Finally, combining all that gets us the following equality v = 2 pi r / 5520.767 v = sqrt(mu/r) mu = 3.986004419 Ă— 10^14 m^3/s^2 2 pi r / 5520.767 s = sqrt(3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 / r) Square both sides 1.29527 * 10^-6 r^2 s^2 = 3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 / r Multiply both sides by r 1.29527 * 10^-6 r^3 s^2 = 3.986004419 * 10^14 m^3/s^2 Divide both sides by 1.29527 * 10^-6 s^2 r^3 = 3.0773498781296 * 10^20 m^3 Take the cube root of both sides r = 6751375.945 m Since we actually want how far from the surface of the earth the space station is, we now subtract the radius of the earth from the radius of the orbit. For this problem, I'll be using the equatorial radius. So 6751375.945 m - 6378137.0 m = 373238.945 m Converting to kilometers and rounding to 4 significant figures gives 373.2 km</span>

A playground slide is inclined 40°. If a boy with a mass of 32 kg slides down for -3meters. How much work is done by gravity on
telo118 [61]

Answer:

the work done by gravity on the boy is 604.62 J

Explanation:

Given;

distance the boy slides, d = 3 m

angle of inclination of the playground, θ = 40⁰

mass of the boy, m = 32 kg

The vertical height, h, above the ground through which the boy falls represents the height of the triangle which is the opposite side.

The distance through which the boy slides, d, represents the hypotenuse side of the right triangle.

sin \theta = \frac{opposite }{hypotenuse} \\\\sin \theta = \frac{h}{d} \\\\h = dsin\theta\\\\h = 3 \times sin(40^0)\\\\h = 1.928 \ m

The work done by gravity on the boy is calculated as;

W = P.E = mgh

             = 32kg x 9.8m/s² x 1.928m

             = 604.62 J

Therefore, the work done by gravity on the boy is 604.62 J

When you lift a bowling ball with a force of 61.1 N, the ball accelerates upward with an acceleration a. If you lift with a forc
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

the weight of the ball is w = 51.94 N ( mass = 5.3 kg)

Explanation:

Following Newton's second law:

net force = mass * acceleration = weight/gravity * acceleration

then denoting 1 and 2 as the first and second lift

F₁ - w= w/g *a₁

F₂ -w = w/g *a₂ = w/g * 2.07a

dividing both equations

(F₂- w)/(F₁ -w)= 2.07

(F₂- w) = 2.07 * (F₁ -w)

1.07*w = 2.07*F₁ - F₂

w = (2.07*F₁ - F₂ )/ 1.07

replacing values

w = (2.07*61.1 N - 70.9 N )/ 1.07  = 51.94 N

then the weight of the ball is w = 51.94 N ( mass = 5.3 kg)

-- It takes the brick 8.9 seconds to reach the ground. 

-- At the instant of the "splat", it's falling at 89 m/s.

-- The mass doesn't matter. If not for air resistance, every object
