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

A flashlight converts?
sammy [17]

Answer:

Energy conversion in flashlight.

Explanation:

When the switch of a flashlight is on, then the batteries inside them will be connected in a circuit and chemical energy from the batteries will be converted into electrical energy and then the electrical energy will be converted into light energy.

Light energy is also called electromagnetic energy.

Hence, among the given options the correct one is the first option that is:

1. Electrical energy into electromagnetic energy is the answer.

The left end of a long glass rod 8.00 cm in diameter, with an index of refraction 1.60, is ground to a concave hemispherical sur
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

a) q = -9.23 cm, b)  h’= 0.577 mm , c) image is right and virtual

Explanation:

This is an optical exercise, where the constructor equation should be used

        1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

Where f is the focal length, p the distance to the object and q the distance to the image

A) The cocal distance is framed with the relationship

       1 / f = (n₂-1) (1 /R₁ -1 /R₂)

In this case we have a rod whereby the first surface is flat R1 =∞ and the second surface R2 = -4 cm, the sign is for being concave

       1 / f = (1.60 -1) (1 /∞ - 1 / (-4))

       1 / f = 0.6 / 4 = 0.15

        f = 6.67 cm

We have the distance to the object p = 24.0 cm, let's calculate

       1 / q = 1 / f - 1 / p

       1 / q = 1 / 6.67 - 1/24

       1 / q = 0.15 - 0.04167 = 0.10833

       q = -9.23 cm

distance to the negative image is before the lens

B) the magnification of the lenses is given by

       M = h ’/ h = - q / p

        h’= - q / p h

        h’= - (-9.23) / 24.0 0.150

        h’= 0.05759 cm

        h’= 0.577 mm

C) the object is after the focal length, therefore, the image is right and virtual

A wave has a velocity of 24 m/s and a period of 3.0 s. Calculate the wavelength of the wave.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Velocity (unit:m/s) of the wave is given with the formula:

v=f∧,

where f is the frequency which tells us how many waves are passing a point per second (unit: Hz) and ∧ is the wavelength, which tells us the length of those waves in metres (unit:m)

f=1/T , where T is the period of the wave.

In our case: f=1/3

∧=v/f=24m/s/1/3=24*3=72m
