The object's speed will remain constant after the it leaves his hand.

So will HIS speed in the opposite direction.

C. Remain Constant

There are no forces to act upon the object; therefore it would remain in motion at a constant speed.

The smallest unit of charge is − 1.6 × 10 − 19 C, which is the charge in coulombs of a single electron. Robert Millikan was able
vovangra [49]

Answer:

-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C,\ -3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C, -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C

Explanation:

<u>Charge of an Electron</u>

Since Robert Millikan determined the charge of a single electron is

q_e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C

Every possible charged particle must have a charge that is an exact multiple of that elemental charge. For example, if a particle has 5 electrons in excess, thus its charge is 5\times -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C=-8 \cdot 10^{-19}\ C

Let's test the possible charges listed in the question:

-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }. We have just found it's a possible charge of a particle

-3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }. Since 3.2 is an exact multiple of 1.6, this is also a possible charge of the oil droplets

-1.2 \times 10 ^{-19 } this is not a possible charge for an oil droplet since it's smaller than the charge of the electron, the smallest unit of charge

-5.6 \times 10 ^{-19 },\ -9.4 \times 10 ^{-19 } cannot be a possible charge for an oil droplet because they are not exact multiples of 1.6

Finally, the charge -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C is four times the charge of the electron, so it is a possible value for the charge of an oil droplet

Summarizing, the following are the possible values for the charge of an oil droplet:

-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C,\ -3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C, -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C

How can a magnetic field be produced, using a wire, a battery, and and a nail?
Aleks [24]
It is fairly easy to build an electromagnet. All you need to do is wrap some insulated copper wire around an iron core. If you attach a battery to the wire, an electric current will begin to flow and the iron core will become magnetized. When the battery is disconnected, the iron core will lose its magnetism. Follow these steps.
Step 1 - Gather the Materials
One iron nail fifteen centimeters (6 in) long
Three meters (10 ft) of 22 gauge insulated, stranded copper wire
One or more D-cell batteries
Step 2 - Remove some Insulation
Step 3 - Wrap the Wire Around the Nail
Step 4 - Connect the Battery

Block on inclined plane experience a force due to gravity of 300N straight down. If the slope is inclined at 67.8°to the horizon
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is  113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.

Explanation:

Force is any cause capable of modifying the state of motion or rest of a body or of producing a deformation in it. Any force can be decomposed into two vectors, so that the sum of both vectors matches the vector before decomposing. The decomposition of a force into its components can be done in any direction.

Taking into account the simple trigonometric relations, such as sine, cosine and tangent, the value of their components and the value of the angle of application, then the parallel and perpendicular components will be:

  • Fparallel = F*sinα =300 N*sin 67.8° =300 N*0.926⇒ Fparallel =277.8 N
  • Fperpendicular = F*cosα =  300 N*cos 67.8° = 300 N*0.378 ⇒ Fperpendicular= 113.4 N

<u><em>The component of the force due to gravity perpendicular and parallel to the slope is  113.4 N and 277.8 N respectively.</em></u>
