Millikan discovered the charge of an electron for which he received the Noble Prize. He designed the Oil Drop experiment. He found that charge is quantized.

Millikan repeated the experiment with varying strength of xrays and found the charge on the oil drop to be a multiple of -1.6 x 10-19 C. He concluded that the smallest unit of charge is -1.6 x 10-19 C , which is the charge of one electron.

Starting in 1908, while a professor at the University of Chicago, Millikan worked on an oil-drop experiment in which he measured the charge on a single electron. J. J. Thomson had already discovered the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron.

How is the Delta Hf related to the delta H of <br> a reaction?
artcher [175]

Answer:

n a chemical reaction, delta H represents the sum of the heats of formation, commonly measured in kilojoules per mol (kJ/mol), of the products minus the sum of those of the reactants. The letter H in this form is equal to a thermodynamic quantity called enthalpy, representing the total heat content of a system.

how does the total mass of each object increases the amount of force that is needed to get them moving at 5 m/s increase by abou
irakobra [83]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum with respect to time, going in the same direction as the force.

Let F = force, m = mass of object, v = velocity of object, mv = momentum.

F = d/dt(mv) = m(dv / dt) = ma; a = acceleration.

Let us assume that the object starts from rest to 5 m/s within 1 seconds, hence:

F = m(dv / dt)

200 N = m[(5 m/s - 0 m/s) / (1 s)]

200 = 5m

m = 40 kg

If two protons and two neutrons are added to the nucleus of a carbon atom, what nucleus does it become?
Shkiper50 [21]
If two protons are added to carbon, the chemical identity changes to oxygen, which is two spaces over horizontally on the periodic table. The number of protons is what we call the atomic number (Z), and this is what defines the identity of an element. Since we also added two neutrons, this is simply oxygen, or oxygen-16, the most abundant isotope of oxygen.
