5. The wire in consists of two segments of different diameters but made from the same metal. The current in segment 1 is I1. a.

(1 pt) Compare the currents in the two segments. That is, is I2 greater than, less than, or equal to I1? Explain. b. (1 pt) Compare the current densities J1 and J2 in the two segments. c. (1 pt) Compare the electric field strengths E1 and E2 in the two segments. d. (1 pt) Compare the drift speeds vd1 and vd2 in the two segments.

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer :

a) I1 = I2

b) J1 > J2

c) E 1 > E2

d) ( vd1 ) > ( vd2 )

Explanation:

a) The currents in the two segments are the same i.e. I1 = I2 and this is because the segments are connected in series

b) Comparing the current densities J1 and J2 in the two segments

note : current density ∝ 1 / area

The area of the second segment is > the area of first segment therefore

J1 > J2

J1 ( current density of first segment )

J2 ( current density of second segment )

c) Comparing the electric field strengths E1 and E2

note : electric field strength ∝ current density

since current density of first segment is > current density of second segment and conductivity of the materials are the same hence

E 1 > E2

d) Comparing the drift speeds Vd1 and Vd2

( vd1 ) > ( vd2 )

this because ; vd ∝ current density

A certain electromagnetic wave traveling in seawater was observed to have an amplitude of 98.02 (V/m) at a depth of 10 m, and an

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The value is $\alpha = 0.002 Np/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The first amplitude of the wave is $E_{max}1 = 98.02 \ V/m$

The first depth is $D_1 = 10 \ m$

The second amplitude is $E_{max}2 = 81.87 \ (V/m)$

The second depth is $D_2 = 100 \ m$

Generally from the spatial wave equation we have

$v(x) = Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)$

=> $\frac{v(x)}{v(x)} =\frac{ Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)}{ Ae^{-\alpha d}cos(\beta x + \phi_o)}$

So considering the ratio of the equation for the two depth

$\frac{A}{A_S} = \frac{e^{-D_1 \alpha }}{e^{-D_2 \alpha }}$

=> $\frac{98.02}{81.87} = \frac{e^{-10 \alpha }}{e^{-100 \alpha }}$

=> $\alpha = \frac{0.18}{90}$

=> $\alpha = 0.002 Np/m$

Using this information...

Pepsi [2]

$19.2\:\text{m/s}$

Explanation:

At the top of the tree, the velocity of the pebble is purely horizontal so we can calculate it as

$v_{y} = v_{0y} = v_0\cos 40° = (25\:\text{m/s})(0.766)$

$\:\:\:\:\:= 19.2\:\text{m/s}$

Suppose the value of one division of vernier scale is 0.5mm and the value of one main scale

gregori [183]

Answer:

-0.01 mm

Explanation:

We are given that

The value of one division of vernier scale =0.5 mm

The value of one main scale division=0.49 mm

We have to find the value of least count of the instrument in mm.

We know that

Leas count of vernier caliper=1 main scale division-1 vernier scale division

Least count of vernier caliper=0.49-0.50=-0.01 mm

Hence, the least count of the instrument=-0.01 mm

Answer: -0.01 mm

A glider is gliding through the air at a height of 416 meters with a speed of 45.2 m/s. The glider

julia-pushkina [17]

There's not enough information to find an answer.

I think the idea here is that in descending (416 - 278) = 138 meters,
the glider gives up some gravitational potential energy, which
becomes kinetic energy at the lower altitude. This is all well and
good, but we can't calculate the difference in potential energy
without knowing the mass of the glider.
