A copper wire has a circular cross section with a radius of 1.25 mm. If the wire carries a current of 3.70 A, find the drift spe

ed in mm/s of the electrons in this wire. (Note: the density of charge carriers (electrons) in a copper wire is n = 8.46 × 1028 electrons/m3)

Answer:

0.0557 mm / s

Explanation:

r = 1.25 mm = 1.25 x 10^-3 m, i = 3.7 A, n = 8.46 x 10^28 per cubic metre,

e = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

Let vd be the drift velocity

use the formula for the current in terms of drift velocity

i = n e A vd

3.7 = 8.46 x 10^28 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x 3.14 x 1.25 x 1.25 x 10^-6 x vd

vd = 5.57 x 10^-5 m/s

vd = 0.0557 mm / s

a roller coaster is at the top of a hill and rolls to the top of a lower hill.If mechanical energy is conserved,on the top of wh
pychu [463]
Hello!!

Here we have a simple matter of conservation of energy. ME=PE+KE.

At point A we have PE=mgh and KE=1/2mv^2. At point A all we have is PE since the coaster isn’t rolling yet. But by conservation of energy, we know that it will have enough energy to roll down and get to and equal height on another hill. Providing we are neglecting friction and drag and resistance forces which we are in this case. So we can conclude that the KE will be greater at Point B since ME=PE+KE and for ME to remain the same and we know the PE is less on lower hill, so we can conclude that KE on lower hill is greater to keep ME the same and have conservation of energy.

Hope this helps you understand the concept!! Any questions please just ask!! Thank you so much!!

For a series circuit what is the terminal voltage of a battery or power supply equal to in terms of the potential difference or
trapecia [35]

Answer: V=IR

Explanation: for a series circuit connected to a battery supply, the total emf across the circuit is given as

E = I(R + r) and by expanding, we have that E =IR + It

Where r is the internal resistance of the battery

I is the total current flowing in the circuit

R total load resistance in the circuit.

E is the total emf of the circuit.

The total emf is the sum of 2 separate voltages.

"IR" which is the terminal voltage and "Ir" which is the loss voltage.

The teenila voltage is the voltage flowing in the circuit based on the equivalent resistance of the circuit while the loss voltage is the wasted voltage based on the internal resistance of the battery source.

Answer:

Crumple zones are designed to absorb and redistribute the force of a collision. ... Also known as a crush zone, crumple zones are areas of a vehicle that are designed to deform and crumple in a collision. This absorbs some of the energy of the impact, preventing it from being transmitted to the occupants.
