In the Millikan oil drop experiment the measured charge of any single droplet was always a whole number multiple of -1.60 x 10-1

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Number of electrons, n = 6

Explanation:

Total charge in a single droplet, $q=-9.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

The measured charge of any single droplet, $e=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Let n is the number of excess electrons are contained within the drop. According to the quantization of charge :

$q=ne$

$n=\dfrac{q}{e}$

$n=\dfrac{-9.6\times 10^{-19}}{-1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

n = 6

So, there are 6 electrons contained within the drop. Hence, this is the required solution.

An archer puts a 0.30 kg arrow to the bowstring. An average force of 201 N is exerted to draw the string back 1.3 m.a. Assuming

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of archer $m=0.3\ kg$

Average force $F_{avg}=201\ N$

extension in arrow $x=1.3\ m$

Work done to stretch the bow with arrow

$W=F\cdot x$

$W=201\times 1.3=261.3\ m$

This work done is converted into kinetic Energy of arrow

$W=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where v= velocity of arrow

$261.3=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.3\times v^2$

$v=\sqrt{1742}$

$v=41.73\ m/s$

(b)if arrow is thrown vertically upward then this energy is converted to Potential energy

$W=mgh$

$261.3=0.3\times 9.8\times h$

$h=\frac{261.3}{0.3\times 9.8}$

$h=88.87\ m$

Notice that in each conversion factor the numerator equals the denominator when units are taken into account. A common error in

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

he factor for the temporal part 1.296 107 s² = h²

m / s² = 12960 km / h²

Explanation:

This is a unit conversion exercise.

In the unit conversion, the size of the object is not changed, only the value with respect to which it is measured is changed, for this reason in the conversion the amount that is in parentheses must be worth one.

In this case, it is requested to convert a measure km/h²

Unfortunately, it is not clearly indicated what measure it is, but the most used unit in physics is m / s² , which is a measure of acceleration. Let's cut this down

the factor for the distance is 1000 m = 1 km

the factor for time is 3600 s = 1 h

let's make the conversion

m / s² (1km / 1000 m) (3600 s / 1h)²

note that as time is squared the conversion factor is also squared

m / s² = 12960 km / h²

the factor for the temporal part 1.29 107 s² = h²

Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by is 4.0 second

ki77a [65]

To answer that question, we don't care what the highest and lowest
levels of the wave are, or how far apart they are. We only need to be
able to identify the highest point on the wave, and keep track of how
often those pass by us.

You said it takes 4 seconds for a complete wave to pass by.
Through the sheer power of intellect, I'm able to take that information
and calculate that 1/4 of the wave passes by in 1 second.

There's your frequency . . . 1/4 per second, or 0.25 Hz.
