A wire 1 mm in diameter is connected to one end of a wire of the same material 2 mm in diameter of twice the length. A voltage s

ource is connected to the wires and a current is passed through the wires. If it takes time T for the average conduction electron to traverse the 1-mm wire, how long does it take for such an electron to traverse the 2-mm wire

Answer:

T = 2 T₀

Explanation:

To answer this question let's write the expression for electrical conductivity

    σ = n e2 τ / m*

The relationship with resistivity is

       ρ = 1 /σ

Whereby the resistance

        R = ρ L / A = 1 /σ  L / A

We see that there is no explicit relationship between time and resistance, there is only a dependence on the life time (τ) that depends on the properties of the material, not on its diameter or length.

As also the average velocity or electron velocity of electrons is constant, the time to cross 2 mm in length is twice as long as the time to cross a mm in length

 T = 2 T₀

A projectile is fired over level ground with an initial velocity that has a vertical component of 20 m/s and a horizontal compon
Anettt [7]
First of all, let's write the equation of motions on both horizontal (x) and vertical (y) axis. It's a uniform motion on the x-axis, with constant speed v_x=30 m/s, and an accelerated motion on the y-axis, with initial speed v_y=20 m/s and acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2:
S_x(t)=v_xt
S_y(t)=v_y t- \frac{1}{2} gt^2
where the negative sign in front of g means the acceleration points towards negative direction of y-axis (downward).

To find the distance from the landing point, we should find first the time at which the projectile hits the ground. This can be found by requiring
S_y(t)=0
Therefore:
v_y t -  \frac{1}{2}gt^2=0
which has two solutions:
t=0 is the time of the beginning of the motion,
t= \frac{2 v_y}{g} = \frac{2\cdot 20 m/s}{9.81 m/s^2}=4.08 s is the time at which the projectile hits the ground.

Now, we can find the distance covered on the horizontal axis during this time, and this is the distance from launching to landing point:
S_x(4.08 s)=v_x t=(30 m/s)(4.08 s)=122.4 m

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a small vehicle compared to a large vehicle?
Zarrin [17]
<span>The kinetic energy is the work done by the object due to its motion. It is represented by the formula of the half the velocity squared multiply by the mass of the object. In this problem, you have two  vehicles, the other one is large and the other one is small. Let us assume that they travel with the same velocity. Note that the kinetic energy is proportional to the mass of the object. So when you increase the mass of the other, it also increases the kinetic energy of that object. The same holds true for the two vehicles. The larger the vehicle, its kinetic energy is also large and therefore its stopping distance will be longer than that of the smaller vehicle.</span>

________ can occur when an analog connection creates an electromagnetic field around its conductors, inducing its waveforms on a
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Crosstalk

Explanation:

The answer is Crosstalk as this phenomenon is most commonly associated with analog phone call.

Now, crosstalk is defined as a disturbance caused by the electric or magnetic fields of one telecommunication signal which affects a signal in an adjacent circuit. In a telephone circuit, crosstalk could result in hearing part of a voice conversation from another circuit. Hence, the phenomenon that causes crosstalk is called electromagnetic interference (EMI). This may occur in microcircuits within computers and audio equipments including within network circuits. This term is also usually applied to optical signals that interfere with each other.
