A constant force is acting on an object. Which of these graphs best represents the velocity of the object?
A.
B.
C.
B. If the force is constant, the acceleration is
constant (F = ma). If the acceleration is constant, then the slope of the velocity versus time graph is constant. Thus graph B is the correct choice.

Doubling the potential difference across a length of copper wire causes what change to the drift speed of the charge carriers?
1.No change occurs since drift speed is constant for copper. 2.The drift speed halves. 3.The drift speed doubles. 4.The drift speed quadruples.
