This problem uses the relationships among current I, current density J, and drift speed vd. We are given the total of electrons that pass through the wire in t = 3s and the area A, so we use the following equation to to find vd, from J and the known electron density n, so: 

v_{d} =  \frac{J}{n\left | q \right |}

<span>The current I is any motion of charge from one region to another, so this is given by:

</span>I = \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{9.4x1018electrons}{3s} = 3189.73(A)

The magnitude of the current density is:

J = \frac{I}{A} = \frac{3189.73}{2x10^{-6}} = 1594.86(A/m^{2})

Being:

A=2mm^{2} = 2x10^{-6}m^{2}
<span>
Finally, for the drift velocity magnitude vd, we find:

</span>v_{d} = \frac{1594.86}{5.8x1028\left |1.60x10^{-19}|\right } = 1.67x10^{18}(m/s)

Notice: The current I is very high for this wire. The given values of the variables are a little bit odd

According to ____, the ability to detect a stimulus depends not only on the intensity of the stimulus but also on other variable
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Signal detection theory

Explanation:

Signal detection theory states that stimulus ca be detected according to its intensity and a person's psychological and/or physical state. This means that we can notice things according to how strong they are but also, a person's characteristics like experience and physiological state like fatigue can affect the ability to detect them.

Because of this, the answer is that according to signal detection theory, the ability to detect a stimulus depends not only on the intensity of the stimulus but also on other variables such as the level of noise in the system and your expectations.

A 325 N force applied to an object for 5.5 s. What’s the impulse?
vazorg [7]
According to Newton second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportional to the rate of change in momentum while maintaining other factors constant. Therefore, F = (mv-mu)/t where F is the resultant force , m is the mass of the object, v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.
Hence, Ft = mv-mu, but impulse is given by force multiplied by time, thus, impulse is equivalent to the change in momentum.
Impulse = Ft
              = 325 × 2.2 sec
              = 715 Ns
