Answer:
2.72 Kilometers
Explanation:
8 × 340 m/s = 2720 m = 2.72 Kilometers
The question is asking to describe and state and calculate what do the observer on the earth measure for the speed of the laser beam, and base on my research, the answer would be v = 1bc, I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
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

=> 
Transverse, I think. I may be wrong.
Answer:
D. a cation that has a smaller radius than the atom.
Explanation:
When electrons are removed from the outermost shell of a calcium atom, the atom becomes a cation that has a smaller radius than the atom.
