<u>Answer: </u>

C option is  correct

20 movable and 20 fixed pulleys required

<u>Explanation: </u>

To lift a 27,800 N elephant with a 700 N drive,  

27800/700=39.7  

the individual requires a mechanical favorable position of 39.7 which is equivalent to 40. A solitary movable pulley gives a mechanical favorable position of 2, two portable pulleys yield a mechanical preferred standpoint of 4, and a framework with three movable pulleys results in a mechanical favorable position of 6. In light of this example, 20 movable pulleys and 20 fixed are required to give a mechanical preferred standpoint of 40

Answer:

C. 20fixed, 20moveables

Explanation:

Efficiency of a machine = MA/VR × 100%

MA is the mechanical advantage

VR is the velocity ratio of the pulley

MA = Load/Effort

MA = 27,800N/700N

MA = 39.71

The velocity ratio formula depends on the type of machine. Since the machine in question is a block and tackle system, the velocity ratio will be the number of pulleys in the system.

Using the efficiency formula to get the VR

100 = 39.71/VR × 100

39.71/VR = 1

VR = 39.71

VR = 40(approximately)

This means that the minimum number of pulleys that the person will require to lift the load is 40pulleys i.e 20fixed, 20moveables

Answer:

3. both are true.

Explanation:

Energy increses with decrease in wavelenght.

For photoemission to occur, a threshold energy barrier must be broken.

Higher energy means more electrons will be emmited.

The electrons emmited will posses energy that is less than the incident energy by the value of the threshold energy.

So the higher the energy, the higher the energy possessed by the electrons.

In Millikan's experiment, an oil drop of radius 1.362 μm and density 0.888 g/cm3 is suspended in chamber C when a downward-point
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The charge on the oil drop is 3e

Explanation:

F = qE

Where;

F is the applied force in Newton

E is the electric field potential N/C

q is charge in C

Given;

Radius, r = 1.362 μm = 1.362 X 10⁻⁶ m

density, ρ = 0.888 g/cm³ = 0.888 X 10³ kg/m³

Electric field potential = 1.92 ✕ 10⁵ N/C

F =mg

mass of the oil drop = density, ρ  X volume of the oil drop

volume of the oil drop (spherical) =  (4/3)πr³ = 1.3333π(1.362 X 10⁻⁶)³

⇒ volume of the oil drop = 10.584 X 10⁻¹⁸ m³

mass of the oil drop = 0.888 X 10³ (kg/m³) X 10.584 X 10⁻¹⁸ (m³)

⇒ mass of the oil drop = 9.399 X 10⁻¹⁵ kg

⇒ F =mg = 9.399 X 10⁻¹⁵ kg X 9.8 = 9.21 X10⁻¹⁴ N

F = qE

q = F/E

q = (9.21 X10⁻¹⁴)/(1.92 ✕ 10⁵) = 4.797 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

In terms of e

1e = 1.6 X10⁻¹⁹ C

=  (4.797 X 10⁻¹⁹ C)/(1.6 X10⁻¹⁹ C) = 3e

Therefore, the charge on the oil drop is 3e
