To calculate the acceleration of the wooden block, we use the expression F=ma where F is the force applied, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration. We calculate as follows:
F = ma
4.9 = 0.5a
a = 9.8
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
The risk when a PWC (Personal Water Craft) passes too closely behind another boat is creating a blind spot. Blind spot can create a collision.
The boat will block the view of the PWC of oncoming boats, as well as the oncoming boat's view of the PWC.So, that's why it is very important to maintain a proper lookout while turning the PWC and beware of your blind spots.
The problem statement is simply asking us to convert units. We convert from units of ft^3 to units of m^3. To do this, we need a conversion factor. For this case, we use 1 m is equal to 3.28084 ft. We do as follows:
5.0 ft^3 ( 1 m / 3.28084 ft )^3 = 0.1416 m^3
1) Current in the wire: 0.0875 A
The current in the wire is given by:
where
Q is the charge passing a given point in the conductor
t is the time elapsed
In this problem, we have
Q = 420 C is the total charge passing through a given point in a time of
t = 80 min = 4800 s
So, the current is
2) Drift velocity of the electrons: 
The drift velocity of the electrons in the wire is given by:
where
I = 0.0875 A is the current
is the number of free electrons per cubic meter
A is the cross-sectional area
is the charge of one electron
The radius of the wire is
So the cross-sectional area is
So, the drift velocity is
