A 1.0-μm-diameter oil droplet (density 900 kg/m3) is negatively charged with the addition of 39 extra electrons. It is released

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$6.75\mu C/m^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter,d= $1\mu m=1\time 10^{-6} m$

$1\mu m=10^{-6} m$

Radius,r= $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\times 10^{-6}=0.5 \times 10^{-6} m$

Density, $\rho=900kg/m^3$

Total number of electrons,n=39

Charge on electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19} C$

Total charge= $q=ne=39\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=62.4\times 10^{-19} C$

Distance,s=2mm= $2\times 10^{-3} m$

Mass = $density\times volume=900\times \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=900\times \frac{4}{3}\pi(0.5\times 10^{-6})^3=4.7\times 10^{-16} kg$

Initial velocity,u=0

Final speed,v=4.5 m/s

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$(4.5)^2-0=2a(2\times 10^{-3})$

$20.25=4a\times 10^{-3}$

$a=\frac{20.25}{4\times 10^{-3}}=5062.5m/s^2$

Force,F=ma

$qE=ma$

$q(\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0})=ma$

$\sigma=\frac{2\epsilon_0ma}{q}=\frac{2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 4.7\times 10^{-16}\times 5062.5}{62.4\times 10^{-19}}$

$\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}$

$\sigma=6.75\times 10^{-6}C/m^2=6.75\mu C/m^2$

Which of the following statements are true?Check all that apply.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

1.The Sun is located at one of the foci of the planets' elliptical orbits.

2.The path of the planets around the Sun is elliptical in shape.

Explanation:

As per Kepler's law of planet motion we know that all planets revolve around the sun in elliptical path in such a way that position of Sun must be at one of the focii of the path

So all planets are in elliptical path always

Position of sun is always at one of the focus

so correct answer will be

1.The Sun is located at one of the foci of the planets' elliptical orbits.

2.The path of the planets around the Sun is elliptical in shape.

A student sects a leaf of length 7.2 cm to draw. Her drawing is 28.8 cm in length. What is the magnification of the drawing?

Alina [70]

Answer:

A) x4

Explanation:

Magnification is equal to image size divided by the actual size, or M = I/A.

The image size is the student's drawing, which is 28.8 cm, and the actual size is 7.2 cm. Divide them, and cancel out the units, and you should get:

28.8 cm/7.2 cm = 4

A pillow with mass of 0.3 kg sits on a bed with a coefficient of static friction of 0.6. What is the maximum force of static fri

lys-0071 [83]

The maximum force of static friction is the product of normal force (P) and the coefficient of static friction (c). In a flat surface, normal force is equal to the weight (W) of the body.

P = W = mass x acceleration due to gravity

P = (0.3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 2.94 kg m/s² = 2.94 N

Solving for the static friction force (F),
F = P x c

F = (2.94 N) x 0.6 = 1.794 N

Therefore, the maximum force of static friction is 1.794 N.
