An aluminum wire having a cross-sectional area equal to 2.20 10-6 m2 carries a current of 4.50 A. The density of aluminum is 2.7

0 g/cm3. Assume each aluminum atom supplies one conduction electron per atom. Find the drift speed of the electrons in the wire.

Answer:

The drift speed of the electrons in the wire is 2.12x10⁻⁴ m/s.

Explanation:

We can find the drift speed by using the following equation:

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

Where:

I: is the current = 4.50 A

n: is the number of electrons

q: is the modulus of the electron's charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C

A: is the cross-sectional area = 2.20x10⁻⁶ m²

We need to find the number of electrons:

$n = \frac{6.022\cdot 10^{23} atoms}{1 mol}*\frac{1 mol}{26.982 g}*\frac{2.70 g}{1 cm^{3}}*\frac{(100 cm)^{3}}{1 m^{3}} = 6.03 \cdot 10^{28} atom/m^{3}$

Now, we can find the drift speed:

$v = \frac{I}{nqA} = \frac{4.50 A}{6.03 \cdot 10^{28} atom/m^{3}*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*2.20 \cdot 10^{-6} m^{2}} = 2.12 \cdot 10^{-4} m/s$

Therefore, the drift speed of the electrons in the wire is 2.12x10⁻⁴ m/s.

I hope it helps you!

A wheel has a radius of 5.9 m. How far (path length) does a point on the circumference travel if the wheel is rotated through an

posledela

Answer:

(a). The path length is 3.09 m at 30°.

(b). The path length is 188.4 m at 30 rad.

(c). The path length is 1111.5 m at 30 rev.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 5.9 m

(a). Angle $\theta=30°$

We need to calculate the angle in radian

$\theta=30\times\dfrac{\pi}{180}$

$\theta=0.523\ rad$

We need to calculate the path length

Using formula of path length

$Path\ length =angle\times radius$

$Path\ length=0.523\times5.9$

$Path\ length =3.09\ m$

(b). Angle = 30 rad

We need to calculate the path length

$Path\ length=30\times5.9$

$Path\ length=177\ m$

(c). Angle = 30 rev

We need to calculate the angle in rad

$\theta=30\times2\pi$

$\theta=188.4\ rad$

We need to calculate the path length

$Path\ length=188.4\times5.9$

$Path\ length =1111.56\ m$

Hence, (a). The path length is 3.09 m at 30°.

(b). The path length is 188.4 m at 30 rad.

(c). The path length is 1111.5 m at 30 rev.

Tarzan swings on a 26.2 m long vine initially inclined at an angle of 28° from the vertical. (a) What is his speed at the bottom

Marianna [84]

Answer

given,

length of the swing = 26.2 m

inclined at an angle = 28°

let, the initial height of the Tarzan be h

h = L (1 - cos θ)

a) initial velocity v₁ = 0 m/s

final velocity of Tarzan = v_f

law of conservation of energy

PE_i + KE_i = PE_f + KE_f

$mgh_i + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_i^2= mgh_f + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2$

$mgh_i + 0 = 0 + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2$

$mgh_i = \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2$

$v_f = \sqrt{2gh_i}$

$= \sqrt{2gL(1- cos\theta)}$

$= \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 26.2(1- cos 28^0)}$

= 7.75 m/s

the speed tarzan at the bottom of the swing

v_f = 7.75 m/s

b)initial speed of the = 3 m/s

$mgh_i + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_i^2= mgh_f + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2$

$mgh_i + 0 = 0 + \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2$

$mgh_i+ \dfrac{1}{2}mv_i^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}mv_f^2$

$gh_i+ \dfrac{1}{2}v_i^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}v_f^2$

$v_f = \sqrt{v_1^2+2gh_i}$

$v_f = \sqrt{3^2+2\times 9.8 \times (1- cos 28^0)}$

v_f= 11.29 m/s

You set a tuning fork into vibration at a frequency of 683 Hz and then drop it off the roof of the Physics building where the ac

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the tuning fork is 9.37 m

Explanation:

Given;

source frequency, $f_s$ = 683 Hz

observed frequency, $f_o$ = 657 Hz

The speed at which the tuning fork fell is calculated by applying Doppler effect formula;

$f_o = f_s [\frac{v}{v + v_s} ]$

where;

$v$ is speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

$v_s$ is the speed of the falling tuning fork

$657 = 683[\frac{343}{343 + v_s} ]\\\\\frac{657}{683} = \frac{343}{343 + v_s}\\\\0.962 = \frac{343}{343 + v_s}\\\\0.962(343 + v_s) = 343\\\\343 + v_s = \frac{343}{0.962} \\\\343 + v_s = 356.55\\\\v_s = 356.55 - 343\\\\v_s = 13.55 \ m/s$

The distance traveled by the tuning fork is calculated by applying kinematic equation as follows;

$v_s^2 = v_o^2 + 2gh$

where;

$v_o$ is the initial speed of the tuning fork = 0

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.80 m/s²

$v_s^2 = 0 + 2gh\\\\h = \frac{v_s^2}{2g} \\\\h = \frac{13.55^2 }{2\times 9.8} \\\\h = 9.37 \ m$

Therefore, the distance traveled by the tuning fork is 9.37 m
