When electric current is flowing in a metal, the electrons are movinga. at nearly the speed of light. b. at the speed of sound in air. c. at the speed of sound in the metal. d. at none of the above speeds. e. at the speed of light.

Two kilograms of air within a piston–cylinder assembly executes a carnot power cycle with maximum and minimum temperatures of 800 k and 300 k, respectively. the heat transfer to the air during the isothermal expansion is 60 kj. at the end of the isothermal expansion the volume is 0.4 m3. assume the ideal gas model for the air. determine the thermal efficiency, the volume at the beginning of the isothermal expansion, in m3, and the work during the adiabatic expansion, in kj.
