Answer:

The surface tension of the water is 6.278×10⁻² N/m

error = 13.65%

Explanation:

The surface tension of water is given by

$ \gamma = \frac{F}{L} $

Where F is the force acting on water and L is the length over which is force is acted.

We are given the mass of 100 droplets of water

M = 3.78 g

n = 100

The mass of 1 droplet is given by

m = \frac{M}{n} \\\\m = \frac{3.78}{100}\\\\m =  0.0378 \: g \\\\m = 3.780\times10^{-5} \: kg

The force acting on a single droplet of water is given by

F = m \cdot g

Where m is the mass of water droplet and g is the acceleration due to gravity

F = 3.780\times10^{-5} \cdot 9.81

F = 3.708\times10^{-4} \: N

The circumferential length of the droplet is given by

L = \pi \cdot d

Where d is the diameter

L = \pi \cdot 1.88\times10^{-3}\\\\L = 5.906 \times10^{-3} \: m

Now we can find out the required surface tension of the water

\gamma = \frac{3.708\times10^{-4} }{5.906 \times10^{-3}} \\\\\gamma = 0.06278\: N/m\\\\\gamma = 6.278 \times10^{-2} \: N/m\\\\

Therefore, the surface tension of the water is 6.278×10⁻² N/m

The tabulated value of the surface tension of water at 20 °C is given by

$ \gamma_t = 0.0727 \: N/m $

The percentage error between tabulated and calculated surface tension is given by

$ error = \frac{\gamma_t - \gamma }{\gamma_t} $

$ error = \frac{ 0.0727 - 0.06278}{0.0727} \times 100\% $

$ error = 13.65 \%

A projectile of mass 1.800 kg approaches a stationary target body at 4.800 m/s. The projectile is deflected through an angle of
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

P = 5.22 Kg.m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the projectile = 1.8 Kg

speed of the target = 4.8 m/s

angle of deflection = 60°

Speed after collision = 2.9 m/s

magnitude of momentum after collision = ?

initial momentum of the body = m x v

                                                  = 1.8 x 4.8 = 8.64 kg.m/s

final momentum after collision

momentum along x-direction

P_x = m v cos θ

P_x = 1.8 x 2.9 x  cos 60°

P_x = 2.61 kg.m/s

momentum along y-direction

P_y = m v sin θ

P_y = 1.8 x 2.9 x  sin 60°

P_y = 4.52 kg.m/s

net momentum of the body

P = \sqrt{P_x^2 + P_y^2}

P = \sqrt{4.52^2 + 2.61^2}

 P = 5.22 Kg.m/s

momentum magnitude after collision is equal to P = 5.22 Kg.m/s

Two 0.50 g spheres are charged equally and placed 2.5 cm apart. When released, they begin to accelerate at 170 m/s^2 .What is th
vitfil [10]

Answer:

q=7.65*10^{-8}C

Explanation:

Using Newton's second law, we calculate the magnitude of the electric force between the spheres:

F=ma\\F=0.5*10^{-3}kg(170\frac{m}{s^2})\\F=0.085N

The magnitude of the charge in both spheres is the same. So, we calculate the charge, using Coulomb's law:

F=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}\\q=\sqrt\frac{Fd^2}{k}\\q=\sqrt\frac{(0.085N)(2.5*10^{-2}m)^2}{8.99*10^9\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}}\\q=7.65*10^{-8}C
