The copper and oxygen and oxygen atoms are not ions, and the bonds are more covalent than they are ionic.
Part (a): Velocity of the snowball
By conservation of momentu;
m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3,
Where, m1 = mass of snowball, v1, velocity of snowball, m2 = mass of the hat, v2 = velocity of the hat, m3 = mass of snowball and the hat, v3 = velocity of snowball and the hut.
v2 = 0, and therefore,
85*v1 + 0 = 220*8 => v1 = 220*8/85 = 20.71 m/s
Part (b): Horizontal range
x = v3*t
But,
y = vy -1/2gt^2, but y = -1.5 m (moving down), vy =0 (no vertical velocity), g = 9.81 m/s^2
Substituting;
-1.5 = 0 - 1/2*9.81*t^2
1.5 = 4.905*t^2
t = Sqrt (1.5/4.905) = 0.553 seconds
Then,
x = 8*0.553 = 4.424 m
Complete Question
A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the drift velocity of the electrons. (The cross-sectional area of a 10-gauge wire is 5.261 mm2.)
mm/s
Answer:
The drift velocity is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The current on the copper is 
The cross-sectional area is
The number of copper atom in the wire is mathematically evaluated

Where
is the density of copper with a value 
is the Avogadro's number with a value 
Z is the molar mass of copper with a value 
So
Given the 1 atom is equivalent to 1 free electron then the number of free electron is

The current through the wire is mathematically represented as

substituting values

=>
