Answer:

20.7 volts

Explanation:

m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

λ = wavelength of electron = 0.27 x 10⁻⁹ m

v = speed of electron

Using de-broglie's hypothesis

λ m v = h

(0.27 x 10⁻⁹) (9.1 x 10⁻³¹) v = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴

v = 2.7 x 10⁶ m/s

ΔV = Potential difference through which electron is accelerated

q = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Using conservation of energy

(0.5) m v² = q ΔV

(0.5) (9.1 x 10⁻³¹) (2.7 x 10⁶)² = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) ΔV

ΔV = 20.7 volts

<h2>The hiker will go up to 850 m on the hill</h2>

Explanation:

The total energy gained by the hiker = 140 x 4186 J

This energy is consumed in the potential energy acquired , while climbing up the hill.

The potential energy P.E = mass of hiker x acceleration due to gravity x height

Thus

140 x 4186 = 69 x 10 x h

or h = $\frac{4186x140}{69x10}$ = 850 m

If the 20% of the total energy is used

the height h₀ = $\frac{0.2x4186x140}{69x10}$ = 170 m

The free-electron density in a copper wire is 8.5×1028 electrons/m3. The electric field in the wire is 0.0520 N/C and the temper

meriva

Answer:

(a) 1.87 x 10⁻⁴ m/s

(b) 0.013V

Explanation:

(a) Drift speed, $v_{d}$ , is the average velocity that a charged particle can have due to an electric field. For a given current, I, the drift velocity is given by;

$v_{d}$ = $\frac{I}{qnA}$ ----------------(i)

Where;

q = amount of charge

n = free charge density

A = cross-sectional area of the wire

But current density, J, is the electric current per unit cross-section area. This is also equal to the ratio of the electric field, E, to the resistivity, p, of the material of the wire. i.e

J = $\frac{I}{A}$ = $\frac{E}{p}$

Equation (i) can then be written as follows;

$v_{d}$ = $\frac{J}{qn}$ = $\frac{E}{qnp}$

$v_{d}$ = $\frac{E}{qnp}$ ---------------------(ii)

From the question;

E = 0.0520N/C

p = 1.72 x 10⁻⁸ Ωm

n = 8.5 x 10²⁸ electrons/m³

c = charge on electron = 1.9 x 10⁻¹⁹C

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

$v_{d}$ = $\frac{0.0520}{1.9*10^{-19} * 8.5*10^{28} * 1.72*10^{-8}}$

$v_{d}$ = 1.87 x 10⁻⁴ m/s

(b) The potential difference, V, is given by the product of the electric field and the distance, d, between the two points in the wire. i.e

V = E x d [where d = 25.0cm = 0.25m]

V = 0.0520 x 0.25

V = 0.013V

A mass weighing 20 pounds stretches a spring 6 inches. The mass is initially released from rest from a point 6 inches below the

hoa [83]

Answer:

Since the spring mass system will execute simple harmonic motion the position as a function of time can be written as $x(t)=Asin(\omega t+\phi)$

'A' is the amplitude = 6 inches (given)

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ is the natural frequency of the system

At equilibrium we have

$mg=kx\\\\k=\frac{mg}{x}$

Applying values we get

$k=40 lb/ft$

thus natural frequency equals

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{40}{\frac{20}{32}}}\\\\\omega =8s^{-1}$

Thus the equation of motion becomes

$x(t)=6sin(8t+\phi)$

At time t=0 since mass is at it's maximum position thus we have

$A=Asin(\omega t+\phi)\\\\\therefore sin(\omega\times 0+\phi)=1\\\\\phi=\frac{\pi}{2}\\\\\therefore x(t)=Asin(\omega t+\frac{\pi}{2})$

Thus the position of mass at the given times is as follows

1) at $\frac{\pi}{12}$ $x(t)=5.99inches$

2) at $\frac{\pi}{8}$ $x(t)=5.9909inches$

3) at $\frac{\pi}{6}$ $x(t)=5.98397inches$

4) at $\frac{\pi}{4}$ $x(t)=5.9639inches$

5) at $\frac{9\pi}{32}$ $x(t)=5.954inches$

The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is ________proportional to the current and _________proportional to the distan

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is <u><em>directly</em></u> proportional to the current and <u><em>inversely</em></u> proportional to the distance from the wire. If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by <u><em>one and half (1.5)</em></u> times.

Explanation:

Magnetic field around a long current carrying wire is given by

$B=\frac{\mu _o I}{2\pi r}$

where B= magnetic field

$\mu _o=$ permeability of free space

I= current in the long wire and

r= distance from the current carrying wire

Thus, The magnetic field around a current-carrying wire is <u><em>directly</em></u> proportional to the current and <u><em>inversely</em></u> proportional to the distance from the wire.

Now if I'=3I and r'=2r then magnetic field B' is given by

$B'=\frac{\mu _oI'}{2\pi r'}=\frac{\mu _o3I}{2\pi 2r}=1.5B$

Thus If the current triples while the distance doubles, the strength of the magnetic field increases by <u><em>one and half (1.5)</em></u> times.
