my hypothesis is that If you drop a piece of buttered toast, it will land butter side down.

I tested it by dropping 10 pieces of buttered toast off the table and noted on which side it landed

It could be falsified cause I just made all of this up. In essence, it's like flipping a coin, 50/50 chance so I could say that 5 landed butter up and 5 landed butter down.

Margy is trying to improve her cardio endurance by performing an exercise in which she alternates walking and running 100.0 m ea

Kipish [7]

Answer:

6.5 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance, s=100 m

Initial speed, u=1.4 m/s

Acceleration, $a=0.20 m/s^2$

We have to find the final velocity at the end of the 100.0 m.

We know that

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Using the formula

$v^2-(1.4)^2=2\times 0.20\times 100$

$v^2-1.96=40$

$v^2=40+1.96$

$v^2=41.96$

$v=\sqrt{41.96}$

$v=6.5 m/s$

Hence, her final velocity at the end of the 100.0 m=6.5 m/s

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 23 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the magnitude of the dri

Reptile [31]

Question:

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 15 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the drift velocity of the electrons. (The cross-sectional area of a 10-gauge wire is 5.261 mm².)

Answer:

3.22 x 10⁻⁴ m/s

Explanation:

The drift velocity (v) of the electrons in a wire (copper wire in this case) carrying current (I) is given by;

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

Where;

n = number of free electrons per cubic meter

q = electron charge

A = cross-sectional area of the wire

First let's calculate the number of free electrons per cubic meter (n)

Known constants:

density of copper, ρ = 8.95 x 10³kg/m³

molar mass of copper, M = 63.5 x 10⁻³kg/mol

Avogadro's number, Nₐ = 6.02 x 10²³ particles/mol

But;

The number of copper atoms, N, per cubic meter is given by;

N = (Nₐ x ρ / M) -------------(ii)

Substitute the values of Nₐ, ρ and M into equation (ii) as follows;

N = (6.02 x 10²³ x 8.95 x 10³) / 63.5 x 10⁻³

N = 8.49 x 10²⁸ atom/m³

Since there is one free electron per copper atom, the number of free electrons per cubic meter is simply;

n = 8.49 x 10²⁸ electrons/m³

Now let's calculate the drift electron

Known values from question:

A = 5.261 mm² = 5.261 x 10⁻⁶m²

I = 23A

q = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

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

v = $\frac{23}{8.49*10^{28} * 1.6 *10^{-19} * 5.261*10^{-6}}$

v = 3.22 x 10⁻⁴ m/s

Therefore, the drift electron is 3.22 x 10⁻⁴ m/s
