Since a stream of water is perpendicular to the movement of Becca, her boat must have been moving going at an angle of north east. Using the Pythagorean formula, we can calculate for the resultant velocity, c.

c^2 = (8 mph)^2 + (6 mph)^2

c^2 = 64 + 36

c^2 = 100

<span>c = 10 mph</span>

In Millikan's oil drop experiment an oil drop is at rest between two large plates separated by 1.3 cm when the potential differe
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Mass of the oil drop, m=3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg

Explanation:

Potential difference between the plates, V = 400 V

Separation between plates, d = 1.3 cm = 0.013 m

If the charge carried by the oil drop is that of six electrons, we need to find the mass of the oil drop. It can be calculated by equation electric force and the gravitational force as :

qE=mg

m=\dfrac{qE}{g}

q=6e, e is the charge on electron

E is the electric field, E=\dfrac{V}{d}=\dfrac{400}{0.013}=30769.23\ V/m

m=\dfrac{6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 30769.23}{9.8}

m=3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg

So, the mass of the oil drop is 3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

n a presentation about measuring mass, one of your classmates states, "Two objects of the same size will always have the same ma
Neporo4naja [7]
Answer:
The statement is not correct.

Reason:
If two objects have the same mass, their respective densities determine their volumes.
By definition,
density = mass/volume.
or volume = mass/density.

Therefore if two objects have the same mass, the mode dense object (with higher density) will occupy less volume than the other object.

Calculate the work done by a person who exerts a force of 200.0 N in the horizontal direction on a box that moves 10.0 meters al
Westkost [7]

Answer:

the work done by a person is 1,732 J

Explanation:

The computation of the work done by a person is as follows;

The following information is given

Force = 200.N

Distance = 10.0 meters

Angle = 30 degrees

based on the above information

Work done is

\overset{F}{\rightarrow}. \overset{D}{\rightarrow}\\\\fd cos \theta

Work done is

= (200) (cos 30 degrees)  (10.0 meters)

= 1,732 J

hence, the work done by a person is 1,732 J

The same is considered and relevant
