In Millikan's oil drop experiment an oil drop is at rest between two large plates separated by 1.3 cm when the potential differe

nce between the plates is 400 V. If the charge carried by the oil drop is that of six electrons, what is the mass of the oil drop?

Answer:

Mass of the oil drop, m=3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg

Explanation:

Potential difference between the plates, V = 400 V

Separation between plates, d = 1.3 cm = 0.013 m

If the charge carried by the oil drop is that of six electrons, we need to find the mass of the oil drop. It can be calculated by equation electric force and the gravitational force as :

qE=mg

m=\dfrac{qE}{g}

q=6e, e is the charge on electron

E is the electric field, E=\dfrac{V}{d}=\dfrac{400}{0.013}=30769.23\ V/m

m=\dfrac{6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 30769.23}{9.8}

m=3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg

So, the mass of the oil drop is 3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

7. A mother pushes her 9.5 kg baby in her 5kg baby carriage over the grass with a force of 110N @ an angle
jasenka [17]

Weight of the carriage =(m+M)g =142.1\ N

Normal force =Fsin(\theta) + W = 197.1\ N

Frictional force =\mu N=27.59\ N

Acceleration =4.66\ m\ s^{-2}

Explanation:

We have to look into the FBD of the carriage.

Horizontal forces and Vertical forces separately.

To calculate Weight we know that both the mass of the baby and the carriage will be added.

  • So Weight(W) =(m+M)\times g =(9.5+5)\ kg \times 9.8 =142.1\ Newton\ (N)

To calculate normal force we have to look upon the vertical component of forces, as Normal force is acting vertically.We have weight which is a downward force along with F_x, force of 110\ N acting vertically downward.Both are downward and Normal is upward so Normal force =Summation\ of\ both\ forces

  • Normal force (N) = Fsin(\theta)+W=110sin(30) + 142.1 =197.1\ N
  • Frictional force (f) =\mu N=0.14\times 197.1 =27.59\ N

To calculate acceleration we will use Newtons second law.

That is Force is product of mass and acceleration.

We can see in the diagram that F_y=Horizontal and F_x=Vertical component of forces.

So Fnet = Fy(Horizontal) - f(friction) = m\times a

  • Acceleration (a) =\frac{Fcos(\theta)-\mu N}{mass(m)} =\frac{(95.26-27.59)}{14.5}= 4.66\ m\ s{^2 }

So we have the weight of the carriage, normal force,frictional force and acceleration.

The Hall effect can be used to determine the density of mobile electrons in a conductor. A thin strip of the material being inve
solmaris [256]

Answer:

the density of mobile electrons in the material is 3.4716 × 10²⁵ m⁻³

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we make use of the following expression;

hall Voltage VH = IB / ned

where I = 2.25 A

B = 0.685 T

d =  0.107 mm =  0.107 × 10⁻³ m

e = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ C

VH = 2.59 mV = 2.59 × 10⁻³ volt

n is the electron density

so from the form; VH = IB / ned

VHned = IB

n = IB / VHed

so we substitute

n = (2.25 × 0.685) / ( 2.59 × 10⁻³ × 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ × 0.107 × 10⁻³ )

n = 1.54125 /  4.4396226 × 10⁻²⁶

n = 3.4716 × 10²⁵ m⁻³

Therefore, the density of mobile electrons in the material is 3.4716 × 10²⁵ m⁻³

According to the law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of
Darina [25.2K]

Before going to answer this question first we have to understand reflection and laws of reflection.

Reflection is the optical phenomenon in which light will bounce back to the same medium from which it had originated .

Whenever a light ray will incident on a mirror or any reflecting surface, it will be reflected. The ray which falls on the reflecting surface is called incident ray and the ray which is reflected is called reflected ray.

Let us consider a normal to the point of incidence.The angle made by incident ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as[ i ]

The angle made by the reflected ray with the normal is called angle of incidence.Let it be denoted as [r]

There are two types of reflection.One is called regular and other one is called as irregular.The laws of reflection is valid for both the types of reflection.

There are two laws of reflection.

FIRST LAW -It states that the incident ray,reflected ray and the normal to the point of incidence,all lie in one plane.

SECOND LAW- It states that that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection irrespective of the type of reflection.i.e i =r

Hence the correct answer will be angle of reflection.
