A current of 4.00 mA flows through a copper wire. The wire has an initial diameter of 4.00 mm which gradually tapers to a diamet

er of 1.00 mm. The wire length is
2.00 m and copper has a number density of 8.50 × 1028 m–3.

Find the change in mean drift velocity for electrons as they pass from one end of the wire to the other and therefore calculate the average acceleration of the electrons.

The change in mean drift velocity for electrons as they pass from one end of the wire to the other is 3.506 x 10⁻⁷ m/s and average acceleration of the electrons is 4.38 x 10⁻¹⁵ m/s².

The given parameters;

  • <em>Current flowing in the wire, I = 4.00 mA</em>
  • <em>Initial diameter of the wire, d₁ = 4 mm = 0.004 m</em>
  • <em>Final diameter of the wire, d₂ = 1 mm = 0.001 m</em>
  • <em>Length of wire, L = 2.00 m</em>
  • <em>Density of electron in the copper, n = 8.5 x 10²⁸ /m³</em>

<em />

The initial area of the copper wire;

A_1 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = \frac{\pi \times (0.004)^2}{4} =1.257\times 10^{-5} \ m^2

The final area of the copper wire;

A_2 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = \frac{\pi (0.001)^2}{4} = 7.86\times 10^{-7} \ m^2

The initial drift velocity of the electrons is calculated as;

v_d_1 = \frac{I}{nqA_1} \\\\v_d_1 = \frac{4\times 10^{-3} }{8.5\times 10^{28} \times 1.6\times 10^{-19} \times 1.257\times 10^{-5}} \\\\v_d_1 = 2.34 \times 10^{-8} \ m/s

The final drift velocity of the electrons is calculated as;

v_d_2 = \frac{I}{nqA_2} \\\\v_d_2 = \frac{4\times 10^{-3} }{8.5\times 10^{28} \times 1.6\times 10^{-19} \times 7.86\times 10^{-7}} \\\\v_d_2 = 3.74\times 10^{-7}  \ m/s

The change in the mean drift velocity is calculated as;

\Delta v = v_d_2 -v_d_1\\\\\Delta v = 3.74\times 10^{-7} \ m/s \ -\ 2.34 \times 10^{-8} \ m/s = 3.506\times 10^{-7} \ m/s

The time of motion of electrons for the initial wire diameter is calculated as;

t_1 = \frac{L}{v_d_1} \\\\t_1 = \frac{2}{2.34\times 10^{-8}} \\\\t_1 = 8.547\times 10^{7} \ s

The time of motion of electrons for the final wire diameter is calculated as;

t_2 = \frac{L}{v_d_1} \\\\t_2= \frac{2}{3.74 \times 10^{-7}} \\\\t_2 = 5.348 \times 10^{6} \ s

The average acceleration of the electrons is calculated as;

a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \\\\a = \frac{3.506 \times 10^{-7} }{(8.547\times 10^7)- (5.348\times 10^6)} \\\\a = 4.38\times 10^{-15} \ m/s^2

Thus, the change in mean drift velocity for electrons as they pass from one end of the wire to the other is 3.506 x 10⁻⁷ m/s and average acceleration of the electrons is 4.38 x 10⁻¹⁵ m/s².

In t-ball, young players use a bat to hit a stationary ball off a stand. The 140 g ball has about the same mass as a baseball, b
fomenos

Question is missing. Found on google:

<em>"Part A What is the acceleration of the ball? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. </em>

<em>Part B </em>

<em>What is the net force on the ball during the hit?  </em>

<em>Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units."</em>

Solution:

A) 6000 m/s^2

The acceleration of the ball is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 12 m/s is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the ball is stationary)

t = 2.0 ms = 0.002 s is the time of contact

Substituting,

a=\frac{12-0}{0.002}=6.0 \cdot 10^3 m/s^2

B) 8.4\cdot 10^2 N

The force on the ball can be found by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

m = 140 g = 0.14 kg is the mass of the ball

a=6.0\cdot 10^3 m/s^2 is the acceleration

Substituting,

F=(0.14)(6.0\cdot 10^3)=8.4\cdot 10^2 N

k0ka [10]

Answer:

P-waves travel through liquids and solid while S-waves only travel through solids.

Explanation:

Scientists are able to use the fact that P-waves travel through both solids and liquids and waves travel through only solids to determine what makes the different layers of the Earth.

Take another look at lines 2 and 3. Suppose you use distance and time between any pair of neighboring dots to calculate speed:
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Add the two speeds together.

Then, divide the sum by two. This will give you the average speed for the entire trip. So, if Ben traveled 40 mph for 2 hours, then 60 mph for another 2 hours, his average speed is 50 mph.
