In an experiment replicating Millikan’s oil drop experiment, a pair of parallel plates are placed 0.0200 m apart and the top pla

te is positive. When the potential difference across the plates is 240.0 V, an oil drop of mass 2.0 × 10-11 kg gets suspended between the plates. (e = 1.6 × 10-19 C)
a) Draw a free-body diagram for the charge.

b) What is the charge on the oil drop?

c) Is there an excess or deficit of electrons on the oil drop? How many electrons are in excess or deficit?

Answer: See below

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

The potential between plates, V = 240 V

Distance between plates, d = 0.02 m

The mass of drop, m = 2x10^-11

Charge on electron, e = 1.6x10^-19

Part (a)

The free-body diagram is attached below

Part (b)

The electric field is given by,

E=\frac{V}{d}

On applying force balance, the force on oil drop is equal to the weight of the oil,

$$\begin{aligned}F_{E} &=m g \\q E &=m g \\q \frac{V}{d} &=m g \\q &=\frac{m g d}{V}\end{aligned}$$

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

\begin{aligned}&q=\frac{2 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~kg} \times 9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \times \frac{1 \mathrm{~N}}{1 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}} \times 0.02 \mathrm{~m}}{240 \mathrm{~V} \times \frac{1 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{C}}{1 \mathrm{~V}}} \\&q=1.63 \times 10^{-14} \mathrm{C}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the charge on the oil drop is 1.63x10^-14 C

Part (c)

There will be an excess of electrons on the oil drop.

The number of electrons on oil drop can be calculated as,

\begin{aligned}q &=n e \\1.63 \times 10^{-14} \mathrm{C} &=n \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C} \\n &=1.01 \times 10^{5}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the number of excess electrons is 1.01x10^5

If the car goes exits a freeway and goes from 65<br> mph to 35 mph is it accelerating?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

No, the car is decelerating  

Explanation:

No the car is decelerating if it exits a freeway and goes from 65

mph to 35 mph since the change in velocity is negative.

change in velocity = final - initial

change in velocity  = 35 - 65

change in velocity = -30mph

Since the change in velocity is negative, hence the car is decelerating. Deceleration is a negative acceleration

A 8.2-V battery is connected in series with a 38-mH inductor, a 150-Ω resistor, and an open switch.A 8.2-V battery is connected
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

(A). The current in the circuit is 19.25 mA.

(B). The store energy in the inductor is 7.04 μJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage = 8.2 V

Inductor = 38 mH

Resistance = 150 Ω

Time t = 0.110 ms

The battery has negligible internal resistance, so that the total resistance  in the circuit is 150 ohms. Then use this equation for current at time t in terms of inductance

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

I(t)=\dfrac{V}{R}\times(1-e^{-t\times\dfrac{R}{L}})

Put the value into the formula

I(t)=\dfrac{8.2}{150}\times(1-e^{-0.110\times10^{-3}\times\dfrac{150}{38\times10^{-3}}})

I(t)=0.01925\ A

I(t) = 19.25\ mA

(B). We need to calculate the store energy in the inductor

Using formula of energy

E=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times38\times10^{-3}\times(0.01925)^2

E=7.04\times10^{-6}\ J

{tex]E=7.04\ \mu J[/tex]

Hence, (A). The current in the circuit is 19.25 mA.

(B). The store energy in the inductor is 7.04 μJ.

Amanda spent 2/5 of her time after school doing homework and ¼ of her remaining time riding her bike. If she rode her bike for 4
Doss [256]

Answer:120 min

Explanation:

Given

Amanda  spent \frac{2}{5} of her time after school doing Home work

And \frac{1}{4} of her remaining  time riding her bike

It is given that she rode her bike for 45 minutes in a week

Let t be the time after school

therefore Amanda spend \frac{2t}{5} in home work and  \frac{3t}{5} time is left

From remaining \frac{3t}{5} time she spends \frac{1}{4} time riding her bike

therefore \frac{3t}{5}\times \frac{1}{4}=45

thus t=300 min

therefore time  spent on home work is \frac{2}{5}\times 300=120 min
