A small drop of water is suspended motionless in air by a uniform electric field that is directed upward and has a magnitude of

11000 N/C. The mass of the water drop is 3.37 × 10-9 kg. How many excess electrons or protons reside on the drop?

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the electric field such as the smelting of the Force and the load (In this case the force is equivalent to the weight). Later we will apply the ratio of the total charge as a function of the multiplication of the number of electrons and their individual charge.

E = \frac{mg}{q}

Here,

m = mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Rearranging to find the charge,

q = \frac{mg}{E}

Replacing,

q = \frac{(3.37*10^{-9})(9.8)}{11000}

q = 3.002*10^{-12}C

Since the field is acting upwards the charge on the drop should be negative to balance it in air. The equation to find the number of electrons then is

q = ne

Here,

n = Number of electrons

e = Charge of each electron

n = \frac{q}{e}

Replacing,

n = \frac{3.002*10^{-12}}{1.6*10^{-19}}

n = 2.44*10^7

Therefore the number of electrons that reside on the drop is 2.44*10^7

Calculate the momentum of a Lion of mass 130-kg and moving at a speed of 22.3 m/s [W]
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

<h2>289.9 kg.m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

momentum = mass × velocity

From the question we have

momentum = 130 × 22.3

We have the final answer as

<h3>289.9 kg.m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you
