Consider an oil droplet of mass m and charge q. We want to determine the charge on the droplet in a Millikan-type experiment. We

will do this in several steps. Assume, for simplicity, that the charge is positive and that the electric field between the plates points upward.a) An electric field is established by applying a potential difference to the plates. It is found that a field of strength E0 will cause the droplet to be suspended motionless. Write an expression for the droplet's charge q. Let g be the acceleration due to gravity. Express your answer in terms of the suspending field E0 and the droplet's weight mg.

Answer:

q=\frac{mg}{E_o}              

Explanation:

Given:

Charge = <em>q</em>

Electric field strength =E_o

weight of the droplet = <em>mg</em>

The charge is suspended motionless. This is because the electric force on the charge is balanced by the weight of the droplet.

electric force on charged droplet, F=qE_o

This is balanced by the weight, mg

Equating the two:

qE_o=mg\\\Rightarrow q=\frac{mg}{E_o}

On the planet Xenophous a 1.00 m long pendulum on a clock has a period of 1.32 s. What is the free fall acceleration on Xenophou
Vilka [71]
The period of the pendulum is given by the following equation

T = 2π * sqrt (L/g)

Where g is the gravity (free fall acceleration)

L is the longitude of the pendulum

T is the period.

We find g.............> (T /2π)^2 = L/g

g = L/(T /2π)^2...........> g = 22.657 m/s^2

A description of both speed and direction
julia-pushkina [17]
Speed most often describes acceleration or a high rate of motion. ... As a verb, it means to “move along quickly,” like how you speed around on your bike. Direction is defined as the path that something takes, the path that must be taken to reach a specific place, the way in which something is starting to develop or the way you are facing

Mr. and Mrs. miller both have blue eyes. Could any of their children be born with brown eyes? Circle yes or no. What tule or rea
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Generally, darker colors dominate so a person with one brown-eyed gene and one blue-eyed gene will have brown eyes. The only way to present blue eyes is to inherit two copies of the blue-eyed gene. However, brown-eyed parents can pass a recessive blue-eyed gene. Therefore, two brown-eyed partners can birth a blue-eyed baby.

A nearsighted person cannot see objects further away than 10 m clearly. This person wants to be able to see objects 300 m away w
icang [17]

Answer:

d.-10.3m

Explanation:

Note for short sightedness the focal length is negative

Let do be object distance=10m

And di= image distance=-300m

Using lens formula

F=do*di/do-di= 10*300/10-300=-10.3m
