In Millikan's oil-drop experiment, one looks ata small oil drop held motionless between two plates. Take the voltage betwee the

plates to be 2033 V, and the plate separation to be 2.00 cm. The oil drop (of density 0.81 g/cm3) has a diameter of 3.8x10^6m. Find the charge on the drop, in terms of electron units. You need to round your answer to the nearest integer

Answer:

The charge on the drop  is

q = 1.741 x 10 ⁻²¹ C

Explanation:

Electric field due to plates

Ef = V/d  

Ef = 2033 V / (2.0 * 10^-2 m )

Ef = 101650 V/m

So, we can write  

Ef * q = m*g

q = m*g / E f

The mass can be equal using the density and the volume so:

m = ρ * v

The volume can be find as:

v = 2.298 x 10 ⁻ ¹⁶ m³

q =  ρ * v * g / Ef

q =  81 x 10 ³ kg/ m³ * 2.2298 x 10 ⁻ ¹⁶ m³ * 9.8 m/s² / 101650 V/m

The charge on the drop  is

q = 1.741 x 10 ⁻²¹ C

An astronaut on Earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. If she were instead in
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

B) with 9/10 submerged

Explanation:

m = mass of ice cube

\rho = density of soft drink

V = Volume of soft drink displaced

ice cube floats in the soft drink when the force of buoyancy on it balances its weight. Force of buoyancy acting on the cube in upward direction is same as the weight of the soft drink displaced. hence we can write

weight of ice cube = weight of soft drink displaced

mg = \rho V g

m = \rho V

we see that the acceleration due to gravity cancel out both side and hence it does affect as astronaut is on earth on in a lunar module.

Lisa [10]

We can use the equation E = k | Q | r 2 E = k | Q | r2 to find the magnitude of the electric field. The direction of the electric field is determined by the sign of the charge,

<h3>What is electric and magnetic field ?</h3>

With the use of electricity and other types of artificial and natural illumination, invisible energy fields known as electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) and radiation are created.

  • While the magnetic field is discernible by the force it exerts on other magnetic particles and moving electric charges, the electric field is actually the force per unit charge experienced by a non-moving point charge at any given location inside the field.

A small boat coasts at constant speed under a bridge. A heavy sack of sand is dropped from the bridge onto the boat. The speed o
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

d. decreases

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum tells us that the sum of momenta before the collision is equal to the sum of momenta after the collision. The bag has no momentum as it falls onto the boat because its velocity is zero in the horizontal direction. But after it hits the boat, it's momentum increases while the momentum of the system remains the same. That means a component of the system must decrease somewhere else. And that component is the velocity, not the mass, of the boat.

If you jog at a speed of 1.5m/s for 20 seconds how far di you travel
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: 30m

Explanation:

Given:

Speed: 1.5m/s

Time: 20 seconds

Distance = speed × time

Distance = 1.5 × 20

= 30m

Therefore you will travel 30m
