Answer:

The thinking distance depends on the reaction time of the driver which could can affected by alcohol, distractions and tiredness. A faster speed increases both thinking distance, increasing the total stopping distance.

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

sweet-ann [11.9K]

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.

Water (density = 1 ´ 103 kg/m3) flows at 10 m/s through a pipe with radius 0.030 m. the pipe goes up to the second floor of the

Hatshy [7]

density of water = $1000 kg/m^3$

velocity of flow = $10 m/s$

radius of pipe = $0.030 m$

Height of second floor = $2 m$

Now we can use here Bernuoli's Equation to find the speed of water flow at second floor

$P_1 + 1/2\rho v_1^2 + \rho g h_1= P_2 + 1/2 \rho v_2^2 + \rho g h_2$

$P + 1/2 * 1000 * 10^2 + 1000* 9.8 * 0 = P + 1/2 * 1000 * v^2 + 1000*9.8*2$

$v = 7.8 m/s$

Now in order to find the radius of pipe we can use equation of continuity

$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$

$\pi *0.030^2 * 10 = \pi * r^2 * 7.8$

$r = 0.034 m$

So radius of pipe at second floor is 0.034 meter

Josh did an experiment recording the changes in temperature in sand and water when exposed to a light source, and then when the

Marrrta [24]

Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .

The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised from T to T'.

Hence specific heat of a substance is calculated as-

$c= \frac{Q}{m[T'-T]}$

Here c is the specific heat capacity.

The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.

As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.

From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.
