Shown to the right is a block of mass m=5.71kgm=5.71kg on a ramp that makes an angle θ=24.1∘θ=24.1∘ with the horizontal. This block is being pushed by a horizontal force, F=229NF=229N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the two surfaces is μ=0.51μ=0.51.
Enter an expression for the acceleration of the block up the ramp using variables from the problem statement together with gg for the acceleration due to gravity.

If the density and atomic mass of copper are respectively 8.80 x 103 kg/m³ and 63.5 kg/kmol (note that 1 kmol = 1,000 mol), and copper has one free electron per copper atom, determine the following.
(a) the drift speed of the electrons in a 10 gauge copper wire (2.588 mm in diameter) carrying a 13.5 A current
1.988-4
See if you can obtain an expression for the drift speed of electrons in a copper wire in terms of the current in the wire, the diameter of the wire, the molecular weight and mass density of copper, Avogadro's number, and the charge
on an electron. m/s

Can you start with basic equations for the electric and magnetic forces acting on the electrons moving through the wire and obtain a relationship between the magnitude of the electric and magnetic field and the drift speed of the
electrons? How is the magnitude of the electric field related to the Hall voltage and the diameter of the wire? V

- Learning Goal: To understand the meaning and the basic applications of pV diagrams for an ideal gas. As you know, the parameters of an ideal gas are described by the equation pV = nRT, where p is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, n is the number of moles, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature of the gas. It follows that, for a portion of an ideal gas, pV = constant. Τ One can see that, if the amount of gas remains constant, it is impossible to change just one parameter of the gas: At least one more parameter would also change. For instance, if the pressure of the gas is changed, we can be sure that either the volume or the temperature of the gas (or, maybe, both!) would also change. To explore these changes, it is often convenient to draw a graph showing one parameter as a function of the other. Although there are many choices of axes, the most common one is a plot of pressure as a function of volume: a pV diagram.

I've assembled the following assortment of point charges (-4 μC, +6 μC, and +3 μC) into a rectangle, bringing them together from an initial situation where they were all an infinite distance away from each other. Find the electric potential at point "A" (marked by the X) and tell me how much work it would require to bring a +10.0 μC charge to point A if it started an infinite distance away (assume that the other three charges remains fixed). 300 mm -4 UC "A" 0.400 mm +6 UC +3 UC 5. It's Friday night, and you've got big party plans. What will you do? Why, make a capacitor, of course! You use aluminum foil as the plates, and since a standard roll of aluminum foil is 30.5 cm wide you make the plates of your capacitor each 30.5 cm by 30.5 cm. You separate the plates with regular paper, which has a thickness of 0.125 mm and a dielectric constant of 3.7. What is the capacitance of your capacitor?
