1) Current in the wire: 0.0875 A

The current in the wire is given by:

I=\frac{Q}{t}

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

I=\frac{420 C}{4800 s}=0.0875 A

2) Drift velocity of the electrons: 1.78\cdot 10^{-6} m/s

The drift velocity of the electrons in the wire is given by:

u = \frac{I}{nAq}

where

I = 0.0875 A is the current

n=5.8\cdot 10^{28} is the number of free electrons per cubic meter

A is the cross-sectional area

q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C is the charge of one electron

The radius of the wire is

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.6 mm}{2}=1.3 mm=0.0013 m

So the cross-sectional area is

A=\pi r^2=\pi (0.0013 m)^2=5.31\cdot 10^{-6} m^2

So, the drift velocity is

u = \frac{(0.0875 A)}{(5.8\cdot 10^{28})(5.31\cdot 10^{-6})(1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)}=1.78\cdot 10^{-6} m/s

2.5m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Acceleration = 0.5m/s²

time of travel = 5s

Solution:

Final velocity = ?

Solution:

Acceleration can be defined as the change in velocity with time:

          Acceleration = \frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity}{time}

  From the equation above, the unknown is final velocity:

Final velocity - initial velocity = Acceleration x time

 since initial velocity = 0

   Final velocity = 0.5 x 5 = 2.5m/s

klasskru [66]

Answer:

The condition necessary for the person to be able to remain stationary in mid-air is that there must be an upward force also referred to as THRUST

Explanation:

Thrust in Physics is defined as the force that propels, forces or pushes the mass of a certain object in a specified or particular direction.

Thrust can defined in the terms of a Jet pack can be defined as the force that is required to propel the mass of a person in an upward direction.

Based on the diagram that we have been shown the question, we can see that water is the fuel used to proper the user or person upwards hence, the jet pack used in the question is an HydroJet pack

The condition necessary for the person to be able to remain stationary in mid-air is that the propelling force called the thrust must be upwards such that it can overcome these 4 things:

a) Gravitational force

b) Mass of the jet pack user

c) Mass of the jet pack itself

d) The water which serves as fuel for the jet pack.
