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.

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

the distance traveled by the fish is 3648 m

Explanation:

In general, animals have a small period of acceleration, which we will despise after which they travel at a constant speed so we can use the kinematic equations in uniform motion

   

We reduce the units to System SI

      t = 2 min (60s / 1 min) = 120 s

Calculate

       V = x / t

       x= V t

       x = 30.4 120

       x = 3648 m

 

This is the distance traveled by the fish

Bradley gets an x-ray at a radiology clinic that employs its own technologists and radiologists. Would the coder at the clinic r
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

If Bradley examination was done and interpreted in the same facility, the radiologist code is used example- procedure code 72100- Radiologic examination, spine, lumbosacral, 2 or 3 views is reported.

if the X-ray was taken by Dr X but Dr X does not read or interpret the image but forward it to the radiologist for initial report, then a 26- modifier is used. E.g A reports by the technologist would be, procedure code 72050-Radiologic examination, spine, cervical, 2 or 3

views or 72050- TC in certain situations and the consulting radiologist would report 72050-26.

if Bradley’s x-ray were sent to an independent radiologist for interpretation, then the procedure code 76140 is used in reporting.
