When a wave is absorbed by a medium, its energy is transferred to the medium. The energy is most often transformed into thermal

energy. What measurement could you make to confirm the transfer and transformation of wave energy?

Answer:

TEMPERATURE

Explanation:

When a wave is absorbed by a material medium, different phenomena occur, but the collisions with the other particles causes the energy to be transformed into internal energy in the atoms and molecules of the material, with TEMPERATURE measurements the increase in the internal energy of the material.

Calculate the average drift speed of electrons traveling through a copper wire with a crosssectional area of 80 mm2 when carryin

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is $2.8*10^{-5}ms^{-1}$

Explanation:

The formula for the electron drift speed is given as follows,

$u=I/nAq$

where n is the number of of electrons per unit m³, q is the charge on an electron and A is the cross-sectional area of the copper wire and I is the current. We see that we already have A , q and I. The only thing left to calculate is the electron density n that is the number of electrons per unit volume.

Using the information provided in the question we can see that the number of moles of copper atoms in a cm³ of volume of the conductor is $8.93/63.5 molcm^{-3}$ . Converting this number to m³ using very elementary unit conversion we get $140384molm^{-3}$ . If we multiply this number by the Avagardo number which is the number of atoms per mol of any gas , we get the number of atoms per m³ which in this case is equal to the number of electron per m³ because one electron per atom of copper contribute to the current. So we get,

$n=140384*6.02*10^{23} = 8.45*10^{28}electrons.m^{-3}$

if we convert the area from mm³ to m³ we get $A=80*10^{-6}m^{2}$ .So now that we have n, we plug in all the values of A ,I ,q and n into the main equation to obtain,

$u=30/(8.45*10^{28}*80*10^{-6}*1.602*10^{-19})\\u=2.8*10^{-5}m.s^{-1}$

which is our final answer.

BARSIC [14]

This type of listening response is called back-channel signal. This allows the speaker to know that the listener is attentive or willing to engage a conversation between them. It is shown through short utterances, facial expressions, head nods and others.

A thermometer is removed from a room where the temperature is 70° F and is taken outside, where the air temperature is 10° F. Af

Answer:

$T=51.64^\circ F$

$t=180.10s$

Explanation:

The Newton's law in this case is:

$T(t)=T_m+Ce^{kt}$

Here, $T_m$ is the air temperture, C and k are constants.

We have

$70^\circ F$ in $t=0$

So:

$T(0)=70^\circ F\\T(0)=10^\circ F+Ce^{k(0)}\\70^\circ F=10^\circ F+C\\C=70^\circ F-10^\circ F=60^\circ F$

And we have $60^\circ F$ in $t=30 s$ , So:

$T(30)=60^\circ F\\T(30)=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\60^\circ F=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\50^\circ F=(60^\circ F)e^{k(30)}\\e^{k(30)}=\frac{50^\circ F}{60^\circ F}\\(30)k=ln(\frac{50}{60})\\k=\frac{ln(\frac{50}{60})}{30}=-0.0061$

Now, we have:

$T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}(1)$

Applying (1) for $t=1 min=60s$ :

$T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061*60}\\T=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)0.694\\T=10^\circ F+41.64^\circ F\\T=51.64^\circ F$

Applying (1) for $T=30^\circ F$ :

$30^\circ F=10^\circ F+(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}\\30^\circ F-10^\circ F=(60^\circ F)e^{-0.0061t}\\-0.0061t=ln(\frac{20}{60})\\t=\frac{ln(\frac{20}{60})}{-0.0061}=180.10s$

Which of the following is a fundamental quantity?

Yuki888 [10]

-- Volume . . . made out of 3 dimensions of length

-- Density . . . made out of mass, and 3 dimensions of length

-- Area . . . made out of 2 dimensions of length

-- Acceleration . . . made out of length and time

<em>Mass</em> is not made out of anything else. It's fundamental. A few other fundamental things are length, time, and electric charge.
