Two analogies: 
1. The wires are like hoses full of water. As soon as you turn on the water, water is pushed out the end of the hose. 
2. Although the electrons only move at 1mm/s, the electomagnetic pulse travels through the circuit at near speed of light (varies btw .1c to .9c). It is this pulse that provides the pressure to push the electrons out the end of the wire into the light

Suddenly a worker picks up the bag of gravel. Use energy conservation to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.3
fiasKO [112]

Explanation:

A worker picks up the bag of gravel. We need to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.30 m from rest. It is case of conservation of energy. So,

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh}

h = 2.3 m

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2.3} \\\\v=6.71\ m/s

So, the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.30 m from rest is 6.71 m/s.
