Yes!

The mass of the object for a start was not nessaccary in the calculation, and put in to make it look more complicated than it is, and just after 10 seconds the object would have returned to eart already, leaving it plenty of time to settle and remain stationary, thus the acceleraton = 0.

your turn

You have a perfectly cylindrical length of copper, that has a diameter of 10mm and is 30 metres long. there is a voltage drop of 10 volts across this length of wire.

What speed do electrons pass through this peice of wire?

so close!

well, only a factor of about 5 out (from what I made it)

I made it 12x 10^-4 m/s

but it was late last night when I got my calculator out, so that's close enough.

You're up.
