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.

Why are atoms of lithium, sodium, and potassium almost never found alone together in nature?

atoms of lithium, sodium, and potassium almost never found alone in nature because t<span>hey have only one electron in their outer most shell which makes them very reactive and they react with other atoms thats why. I hope this can help you</span>

A bucket of mass M (when empty) initially at rest and containing a mass of water is being pulled up a well by a rope exerting a

Naily [24]

Answer:

$V=\dfrac{PT}{m}\ ln\dfrac{M+m}{M}-gT$

Explanation:

Given that

Constant rate of leak =R

Mass at time T ,m=RT

At any time t

The mass = Rt

So the total mass in downward direction=(M+Rt)

Now force equation

(M+Rt) a =P- (M+Rt) g

$a=\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g$

We know that

$a=\dfrac{dV}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g$

$\int_{0}^{V}V=\int_0^T \left(\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g\right)dt$

$V=\dfrac{P}{R}\ ln\dfrac{M+RT}{M}-gT$

$V=\dfrac{PT}{m}\ ln\dfrac{M+m}{M}-gT$

This is the velocity of bucket at the instance when it become empty.

Charina says that when waves interact with an object, they will interfere with the object, and when waves interact with other wa

Fofino [41]

I would not agree with her since reflection and refraction happens only when waves hit an object. When, waves meet it is either it experiences constructive or destructive interference. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

What is your velocity if it takes you 40 seconds to walk around a circle of 50meters 3 times?

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

0 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity is displacement over time. Displacement is the distance between your initial position and your final position. If you walk in a circle, you end up back where you started, so your displacement is 0. Therefore, your velocity is also 0.

a 2.00 kg object is moving east at 4.00 m/s when it collides with a 6 kg object that is initially at rest. after the collision t

baherus [9]

Answer:

v = 1.00 m/s east

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum

Let east be the positive direction

2.00(4.00) + 6.00(0.00) = 2.00(v) + 6.00(1.00)

v = 1.00 m/s east

The two items have stuck together.
