The classic Millikan oil-drop experiment was the first to obtain an accurate measurement of the charge on an electron. In it, oi

l drops were suspended against the gravitational force by a vertical electric field.
Consider an oil drop with a weight of 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ N, if the drop has a single excess electron, find the magnitude (in N/C) of the electric field needed to balance its weight. Your should round your answer to an integer, indicate only the number, do not include the unit.

Answer:

156250 N/C

Explanation:

weight of drop, W = 2.5 x 10^-14 N

charge of drop, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

Let the electric field is E.

Weight is balanced by the electrostatic force

W = qE

2.5 x 10^-14 = 1.6 x 10^-19 x E

E = 156250 N/C

Answer:

1.56\times 10^5 N/C        

Explanation:

The electric field that will balance the weight of the oil drop can be calculated using the following:

electric force, F = e E ( where, e is the charge of an electron and E is the electric field)

weight, W = 2.5 ×10⁻¹⁴ N

e E = W

E =\frac{W}{e}

Substitute the values:

E =\frac{ 2.5 \times 10^{-14} N}{1.6\times10^{-19}C}= 1.56\times 10^5 N/C

A helicopter blade spins at exactly 110 revolutions per minute. Its tip is 4.50 m from the center of rotation. (a) Calculate th
NeX [460]

Answer:

(a). The average speed is 51.83 m/s.

(b). The average velocity over one revolution is zero.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular velocity = 110 rev/m

Radius = 4.50 m

(a). We need to calculate the average speed

Using formula of average speed

v=r\omega

v = 4.50\times110\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60}

v=51.83\ m/s

(b). The average velocity over one revolution is zero because the net displacement is zero in one revolution.

Hence, (a). The average speed is 51.83 m/s.

(b). The average velocity over one revolution is zero.

The flagpole is held vertical by two ropes. The first of these ropes has a tension in it of 100 N and is at an angle of 60° to t
KatRina [158]

Answer:

T₂ = 123.9 N,  θ = 66.2º

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we use the law of equilibrium, since the diaphragm does not appear, let's use the adjoint to see the forces in the system.

The tension T1 = 100 N, we create a reference frame centered on the pole

X axis

       T₁ₓ - T_{2x} = 0

        T_{2x}= T₁ₓ

Y axis y

      T_{1y} + T_{2y} - 200N = 0

      T_{2y} = 200 -T_{1y}

let's use trigonometry to find the component of the stresses

         sin 60 = T_{1y} / T₁

         cos 60 = t₁ₓ / T₁

         T_{1y} = T₁ sin 60

         T1x = T₁ cos 60

         T_{1y}y = 100 sin 60 = 86.6 N

         T₁ₓ = 100 cos 60 = 50 N

for voltage 2 it is done in the same way

         T_{2y} = T₂ sin θ

         T₂ₓ = T₂ cos θ

we substitute

         

           T₂ sin θ= 200 - 86.6 = 113.4

           T₂ cos θ = 50              (1)

to solve the system we divide the two equations

           tan θ = 113.4 / 50

           θ = tan⁻¹ 2,268

           θ = 66.2º

we caption in equation 1

           T₂ cos 66.2 = 50

           T₂ = 50 / cos 66.2

           T₂ = 123.9 N
