Electric current in a solid metal conductor is caused by the movement of what ?

Vlad1618 [11]

Electric current in a solid metal conductor is caused by the movement of electric charge. An electric current is the flow of electric charge. An electron current, the flow of electrons, contributes to an electric current since the electron 'carries' negative electric charge. The flow of ions also contributes to an electric current in, for example, the electrolyte of an electrochemical cell.

A cylinder is sliced in half along its diagonal. Determine the location of the center of mass and the inertia properties relativ

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

To better understand this problem, a cylinder sketch is attached before and after the cut, we see that after the cut, the shape of this resembles that of a right triangle.

We can find, the centroid in the xy plane, knowing that the centroid for a triangle is located a third of its base.

In the z axis there is no displacement of the centroid.

A space vehicle deploys its re–entry parachute when it's traveling at a vertical velocity of –150 meters/second (negative becaus

dexar [7]

Answer:

$a=5m/s^2$

Explanation:

Aceleration is a change on the velocity of the object in a given time.

For this case: the initial velocity is

$v_{1}=150m/s$

and the final velocity is :

$v_{2}=0 m/s$

so, the change in velocity is:

$\Delta v =v_{2}-v_{1}=0m/s - (-150m/s) = 150 m/s$

and the change in time , according to the problem:

$\Delta t=30s$

So, the aceleration is:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{150m/s}{30s} = 5m/s^2$

A 250 GeV beam of protons is fired over a distance of 1 km. If the initial size of the wave packet is 1 mm, find its final size

Margarita [4]

Answer:

The final size is approximately equal to the initial size due to a very small relative increase of $1.055\times 10^{- 7}$ in its size

Solution:

As per the question:

The energy of the proton beam, E = 250 GeV = $250\times 10^{9}\times 1.6\times 10^{- 19} = 4\times 10^{- 8} J$

Distance covered by photon, d = 1 km = 1000 m

Mass of proton, $m_{p} = 1.67\times 10^{- 27} kg$

The initial size of the wave packet, $\Delta t_{o} = 1 mm = 1\times 10^{- 3} m$

Now,

This is relativistic in nature

The rest mass energy associated with the proton is given by:

$E = m_{p}c^{2}$

$E = 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (3\times 10^{8})^{2} = 1.503\times 10^{- 10} J$

This energy of proton is $\simeq 250 GeV$

Thus the speed of the proton, v $\simeq c$

Now, the time taken to cover 1 km = 1000 m of the distance:

T = $\frac{1000}{v}$

T = $\frac{1000}{c} = \frac{1000}{3\times 10^{8}} = 3.34\times 10^{- 6} s$

Now, in accordance to the dispersion factor;

$\frac{\delta t_{o}}{\Delta t_{o}} = \frac{ht_{o}}{2\pi m_{p}\Delta t_{o}^{2}}$

$\frac{\delta t_{o}}{\Delta t_{o}} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}\times 3.34\times 10^{- 6}}{2\pi 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (10^{- 3})^{2} = 1.055\times 10^{- 7}$

Thus the increase in wave packet's width is relatively quite small.

Hence, we can say that:

$\Delta t_{o} = \Delta t$

where

$\Delta t$ = final width

A harmonic wave travels in the positive x direction at 6 m/s along a taught string. A fixed point on the string oscillates as a

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Amplitude, A = 0.049 meters

Explanation:

Given that,

A harmonic wave travels in the positive x direction at 6 m/s along a taught string. A fixed point on the string oscillates as a function of time according to the equation :

$y = 0.049 \cos(7t)$ .......(1)

The general equation of a wave is given by :

$y=A\cos(\omega t)$ .......(2)

A is amplitude of wave

On comparing equation (1) and (2) we get :

A = 0.049 meters

So, the amplitude of the wave is 0.049 meters.
