A negative oil droplet is held motionless in a millikan oil drop experiment. What happens if the switch is opened?

1 answer:

0 0

In Millikan oil drop experiment, when the switch is opened and by altering supply the charge of electron is determined.

Explanation:

Millikan's oil drop experiment is held to determine the terminal velocity and charge of the oil drop.

Firstly without any supply of voltage when an oil drop is sprinkled and these droplets gather electrons together and gives negative charge as they pass through air.

By applying and altering voltage applied on the plates, drop can be suspended in air. Millikan observed one drop after another, varying the voltage and noting the effect. After many repetitions he concluded that charge could assume only certain fixed values.

After conducting many times he concluded 1.602176487 ×10−19 C as the charge of an electron.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) The back spoon gives a right image (upright)

b) the front gives an inverted image

Explanation:

The spoon is a curved metallic object, when we see ourselves from the back we have a convex mirror, in this type of mirror when the law of reflection is applied the rays diverge therefore the eye-brain system forms the image with the prolongation of the rays, therefore the image is straight and smaller than the object.

When we look through the deep side of the spoon, we have a concave mirror and as the object (we) is further away than the distance, the rays converge to a point, so the image is real, inverted smaller than the object.

In summary.

a) The back spoon gives a right image (upright)

b) the front gives an inverted image

According to the ph scale, which substance has the highest hydrogen ion concentration

Damm [24]

Answer:

C) stomach acid

Explanation:

D is wrong due to water have very little to hydrogen ion concentration. tomato juice has acids but it doesn't remove things like stomach acid. oven cleaner does remove some items, but not in a fast fashion like stomach acid. Stomach acid is extremely acidic and will melt about anything that comes in contact. burn is known for doing serious damage if it gets past the stomach lining.

A 69.5-kg person throws a 0.0475-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 31.5 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 57.5 kg, c

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

- After throwing the snow, velocity of the thrower is 2.33 m/s

- the velocity of the receiver is 0.026 m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Using conservation of momentum,

Initial thrower has a momentum of mv; $m_{total$ v

(69.5 kg + 0.0475 kg) × 2.35 m/s = 163.4366 kg.m/s

Now, When he throws it at 31.5 m/s, these constitutes a momentum of;

(0.0475 kg )(31.5 m/s) = 1.49625 kg.m/s

hence his momentum now is: 163.4366 - 1.49625 = 161.94035 kg.m/s

To get his velocity, we say;

161.94035 = mv

{ he lost weight of the snow ball so, m = 69.5 kg )

161.94035 = 69.5 × v

v = 161.94035 / 69.5

v = 2.33 m/s

Therefore, After throwing the snow, velocity of the thrower is 2.33 m/s

Next is the Receiver;

the receiver will gain momentum of 1.49625 kg.m/s

he has no momentum initially and after he catches the snow ball;

1.49625 kg.m/s = mv

1.49625 kg.m/s = ( 57.5 kg + 0.0475 kg ) × v

1.49625 kg.m/s = 57.5475 kg × v

v = ( 1.49625 kg.m/s ) / 57.5475 kg

v = 0.026 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the receiver is 0.026 m/s
