Falling raindrops frequently develop electric charges. Does this create noticeable forces between the droplets? Suppose two 1.8

mg drops each have a charge of +21 pC. The centers of the droplets are at the same height and 0.44 cm apart.a. What is the approximate electric force between the droplets?b. What horizontal acceleration does this force produce on the droplets?

Answer:

a) F=2.048\times 10^{-7}\ N

b) a=0.1138\ m.s^{-2}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of raindrops, m=1.8\times 10^{-6}\ kg
  • charge on the raindrops, q=+21\times 10^{-12}\ C
  • horizontal distance between the raindrops, r=0.0044\ m

A)

<u>From the Coulomb's Law the force between the charges is given as:</u>

F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} .\frac{q_1.q_2}{r^2}

we have:

\epsilon_0=8.854\times 10^{-12}\ C^2.N^{-1}.m^{-2}

<em>Now force:</em>

F=\frac{1}{4\pi\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}} .\frac{21\times 10^{-12}\times 21\times 10^{-12}}{0.0044^2}

F=2.048\times 10^{-7}\ N

B)

<u>Now the acceleration on the raindrops due to the electrostatic force:</u>

a=\frac{F}{m}

a=\frac{2.048\times 10^{-7}}{1.8\times 10^{-6}}

a=0.1138\ m.s^{-2}

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of each drop, m = 1.8 mg = 1.8 x 10^-6 kg

Charge on each drop, q = 21 pC = 21 x 10^-12 C

distance, d = 0.44 cm = 0.0044 m

(a) The formula for the electrostatic force between them is given by

F =\frac{Kq^{2}}{d^{2}}

F =\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 21\times 10^{-12}\times 21\times 10^{-12}}{0.0044^{2}}

F = 2.05 x 10^-7 N

Thus, the force is 2.05 x 10^-7 N .

(b) Let a be the acceleration.

a = F / m

a = \frac{2.05\times 10^{-7}}{1.8\times 10^{-6}}

a = 0.114 m/s^2

Solve for A if F=MA and F=100 and M=25?
inn [45]

Answer:

<h3>\boxed{ \boxed{ \bold{A = 4}}}</h3>

Explanation:

Given,

F = 100 , M = 25

Now, let's find the value of A

\sf{F = MA}

plug the values

⇒\sf{100 = 25 A}

Swap the sides of the equation

⇒\sf{25A = 100}

Divide both sides of the equation by 25

⇒\sf{ \frac{25A}{25}  =  \frac{100}{25} }

Calculate

⇒\sf{A = 4}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the barometric readings at the top and at the bottom of
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

   (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10² m

Explanation:

The pressure depends on the height with the formula

          P = P_atm + rho g h

Let's apply this expression for the building

         P₁ = P_atm + rho_air g h₁

        P₂ = P_atm + rho_air g h₂

Subtract

        P₁ - P₂ = roh_air g (h₁ –h₂)

         

         

The measured pressure is in mm Hg to take this unit to units of pressure must be multiplied by the density of mercury and the acceleration of gravity

           P₁- P₂ = rho_Hg g (h₁-h₂) _Hg

         rho_Hg g (h₁-h₂) _Hg = roh_air g (h₁ –h₂)

          (h₁ –h₂) = rho_Hg / rho_air (h₁-h₂) _ Hg

Let's calculate

         (h₁-h₂) = 13600 / 1.18 (695-675)

         (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10⁵ mm

Let's reduce to meter

         (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10⁵ mm (1 m / 10³ mm)

         (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10² m
