Two forces, F1 and F2, act at a point. F1 has a magnitude of 8.60 N and is directed at an angle of 55.0 ∘ above the negative x a

xis in the second quadrant. F2 has a magnitude of 7.00 N and is directed at an angle of 53.2 ∘ below the negative x axis in the third quadrant. What is the x component Fx of the resultant force?

Answer:9.125 N

Explanation:

Given

Magnitude of Force $F_1=8.60 N$ at angle of $55^{\circ}$ above negative x axis

Magnitude of Force $F_2=7 N$ at angle of $53.2^{\circ}$ below negative x axis

$\theta _1=180^{\circ}-55^{\circ}=125^{\circ}$

$\theta _2=180^{\circ}+53.2^{\circ}=233.2^{\circ}$

Thus net force in x direction

$F_x=F_1\cos \theta _1+F_2\cos \theta _2$

$F_x=8.6\times \cos (125)+7\times \cos (233.2)$

$F_x=-9.1251 N$ towards negative x axis

The smallest unit of charge is − 1.6 × 10 − 19 C, which is the charge in coulombs of a single electron. Robert Millikan was able

vovangra [49]

Answer:

$-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C,\ -3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C, -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C$

Explanation:

<u>Charge of an Electron</u>

Since Robert Millikan determined the charge of a single electron is

$q_e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C$

Every possible charged particle must have a charge that is an exact multiple of that elemental charge. For example, if a particle has 5 electrons in excess, thus its charge is $5\times -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C=-8 \cdot 10^{-19}\ C$

Let's test the possible charges listed in the question:

$-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }$ . We have just found it's a possible charge of a particle

$-3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }$ . Since 3.2 is an exact multiple of 1.6, this is also a possible charge of the oil droplets

$-1.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }$ this is not a possible charge for an oil droplet since it's smaller than the charge of the electron, the smallest unit of charge

$-5.6 \times 10 ^{-19 },\ -9.4 \times 10 ^{-19 }$ cannot be a possible charge for an oil droplet because they are not exact multiples of 1.6

Finally, the charge $-4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C$ is four times the charge of the electron, so it is a possible value for the charge of an oil droplet

Summarizing, the following are the possible values for the charge of an oil droplet:

$-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C,\ -3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C, -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C$

Radio waves travel at a speed of 300,000,000 m/s. WFNX broadcasts radio waves at a

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Wavelength, $\lambda=2.94\ m$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of radio waves is $v=3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Frequency of radio waves is f = 101,700,000 Hz

We need to find the wavelength of WFNX’s radio waves. The relation between wavelength, frequency and speed of a wave is given by :

$v=f\lambda$

$\lambda$ is wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{101,700,000}\\\\\lambda=2.94\ m$

So, the wavelength of WFNX’s radio waves is 2.94 m.
