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
Answer:
The terminal speed of this object is 12.6 m/s
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the object, m = 80 kg
The magnitude of drag force is,
The terminal speed of an object is attained when the gravitational force is balanced by the gravitational force.
On solving the above quadratic equation, we get two values of v as :
v = 12.58 m/s
v = -15.58 m/s (not possible)
So, the terminal speed of this object is 12.6 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
