Answer:

The speed of the raindrop is 11.55 m/s.

Explanation:

We need to find the speed of the rain in the "y" direction. We have:

v_{r}: speed of the raindrop at 60° (vertical) =?

v_{c}: speed of the car = 20 m/s (in the "x" direction)

Hence, the speed of the car and the speed of the raindrop are related by:

tan(\theta) = \frac{v_{c}}{v_{r}}        

v_{r} = \frac{v_{c}}{tan(60)} = \frac{20}{tan(60)} = 11.55 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the raindrop is 11.55 m/s.

I hope it helps you!

8. At what position does the mass have the greatest acceleration?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Option (e)

Explanation:

If a mass attached to a spring is stretched and released, it follows a simple harmonic motion.

In simple harmonic motion, velocity of the mass will be maximum, kinetic energy is maximum and acceleration is 0 at equilibrium position (at 0 position).

At position +A, mass will have the minimum kinetic energy, zero velocity and maximum acceleration.

Therefore, Option (e) will be the answer.

A photograph is taken by letting light fall on a light-sensitive medium, which then records the image onto that medium. True or
Jet001 [13]

Answer;

The above statement is true.

-A photograph is taken by letting light fall on a light-sensitive medium, which then records the image onto that medium.

Explanation;

-A photograph is created when light is allowed to fall on a light-sensitive medium. The pattern of light creates an image that is recorded by the photographic device. How light or dark a photograph is depends on how much light was allowed to fall on the light-sensitive medium.

-A camera is a light-tight box that contains a light-sensitive material or device and a way of letting in a desired amount of light at particular times to create an image on the light-sensitive material.

A 5.00-A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5 * 1028 free ele
evablogger [386]

Answer:

a)n= 3.125 x 10^{19 electrons.

b)J= 1.515 x 10^{6 A/m²

c)V_{d =1.114 x 10^{4m/s

d) see explanation

Explanation:

Current 'I' = 5A =>5C/s

diameter 'd'= 2.05 x 10^{-3 m

radius 'r' = d/2 => 1.025 x 10^{-3 m

no. of electrons 'n'= 8.5 x 10^{28}

a) the amount of electrons pass through the light bulb each second can be determined by:

I= Q/t

Q= I x t => 5 x 1

Q= 5C

As we know that: Q= ne

where e is the charge of electron i.e 1.6 x 10^{-19C

n= Q/e => 5/ 1.6 x 10^{-19

n= 3.125 x 10^{19 electrons.

b)  the current density 'J' in the wire is given by

J= I/A => I/πr²

J= 5 / (3.14 x (1.025x 10^{-3)²)

J= 1.515 x 10^{6 A/m²

c) The typical speed'V_{d' of an electron is given by:

V_{d = \frac{J}{n|q|}

    =1.515 x 10^{6 / 8.5 x 10^{28} x |-1.6 x 10^{-19|

V_{d =1.114 x 10^{4m/s

d) According to these equations,

J= I/A

V_{d = \frac{J}{n|q|} =\frac{I}{nA|q|}

If you were to use wire of twice the diameter, the current density and drift speed will change

Increase in the diameter increase the cross sectional area and decreases the current density as it has inverse relation.

Also drift velocity will decrease as it is inversely proportional to the area
