Answer:
Electrons are influenced by internal forces.
-On the temperature, density of electrons per unit of volume and relaxation time.
-The temperature
Explanation:
The Drude model neglects interactions between electrons and ions and with themselves. Those interactions (by which we refer as electromagnetic forces) influence in the random movement and freedom of the electron. So, they could be more restricted or could influence in conductivity more.
The deduction of the resistivity comes from the Ohm's law, which states that the Electric field in the material is proportional to the current density of electrons by a constant, which is the resistivity itself. The equation goes as follows:
Where e refers to electron (or the charge of it), τ is the relaxation time (average time between collisions), m is the mass and n is the density of charges (electrons in this case) per volume. However, experimentally resistivity is also dependent on temperature, which actually influence the relaxation time. The thermal energy influence in the behavior of the electrons, making them collide with phonons, have more randomness and reduced mean free path.
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the conservation of momentum. Mathematically this can be expressed as
Where,
= Mass of each object
= Initial velocity of each object
= Final Velocity
Since the receiver's body is static for the initial velocity we have that the equation would become
Therefore the velocity right after catching the ball is 0.0975m/s
