Answer:
(a). The initial velocity is 28.58m/s
(b). The speed when touching the ground is 33.3m/s.
Explanation:
The equations governing the position of the projectile are
where is the initial velocity.
(a).
When the projectile hits the 50m mark, ; therefore,
solving for we get:
Thus, the projectile must hit the 50m mark in 1.75s, and this condition demands from equation (1) that
which gives
(b).
The horizontal velocity remains unchanged just before the projectile touches the ground because gravity acts only along the vertical direction; therefore,
the vertical component of the velocity is
which gives a speed of
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
