Well if the wire has an insane length or is made out of a high resistance material. But, you're probably looking for a resistor : R = U / I ; R = 20V / 0.25A

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 $v = 0.0002808 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The current on the copper is $I = 20 \ A$

The cross-sectional area is $A = 5.261 \ mm^2 = 5.261 *10^{-6} \ m^2$

The number of copper atom in the wire is mathematically evaluated

$n = \frac{\rho * N_a}Z}$

Where $\rho$ is the density of copper with a value $\rho = 8.93 \ g/m^3$

$N_a$ is the Avogadro's number with a value $N_a = 6.02 *10^{23}\ atom/mol$

Z is the molar mass of copper with a value $Z = 63.55 \ g/mol$

So

$n = \frac{8.93 * 6.02 *10^{23}}{63.55}$

$n = 8.46 * 10^{28} \ atoms /m^3$

Given the 1 atom is equivalent to 1 free electron then the number of free electron is

$N = 8.46 * 10^{28} \ electrons$

The current through the wire is mathematically represented as

$I = N * e * v * A$

substituting values

$20 = 8.46 *10^{28} * (1.60*10^{-19}) * v * 5.261 *10^{-6}$

=> $v = 0.0002808 \ m/s$

A projectile falls beneath the straight-line path it would follow if there were no gravity. How many meters does it fall below t

maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose v is the initial velocity and $\theta$ is the angle of inclination

distance traveled in vertical direction in t=1 s

When gravity is present

$y=vt+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where $y=vertical\ distance$

$a=acceleration$

$t=time$

$v=initial\ velocity$

here initial velocity is v\sin \theta [/tex] so

$y=v\sin \theta \times 1-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y=v\sin \theta -0.5g$

In absence of gravity

$y_2=v\sin \theta \times t$

$y_2=v\sin \theta \times 1$

$\Delta y=y_2-y=v\sin \theta -v\sin \theta +0.5 g=4.9\ m$
