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

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.

How fast does water flow from a hole at the bottom of a very wide, 3.2 m deep storage tank filled with water
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

the velocity of the water flow is 7.92 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity of the water flow is as follows

Here we use the Bernouli equation

As we know that

V_1 = \sqrt{2g(h_2 - h_1)}\\\\=\sqrt{2g(\Delta h)}  \\\\= \sqrt{2\times9.8\times3.2} \\\\= \sqrt{62.72}

= 7.92 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the water flow is 7.92 m/s

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered

A 1500 kg truck travelling north at 60 km/hr collides with a 1200 kg car moving east at 15km/hr. If the two cars remain locked t
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

33.33j+6.67i km/hr

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Applying,

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')............... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the truck, m' = mass of the car, u = initial velocity of the truck, u' = initial velocity of the car, V = Final velocity.

Note: let j represent the north, and i  represent the east

From the question,

Given: m = 1500 kg, u = 60j, m' = 1200 kg, u' = 15i

Substitute these values into equation 1

1500*60j+1200*15i = V(1500+1200)

90000j+18000i = 2700V

V = (90000j+18000i)/2700

V = 33.33j+6.67i km/hr
