Answer:

m = 3,265 10⁻²⁰ E

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use Newton's second law applied to our system, which consists of a capacitor that creates the uniform electric field and the drop of oil with two extra electrons.

∑ F = 0

$F_{e}$ - W = 0

the electric force is

F_{e} = q E

as they indicate that the charge is two electrons

F_{e} = 2e E

The weight is given by the relationship

W = mg

we substitute in the first equation

2e E = m g

m = 2e E / g

let's put the value of the constants

m = (2 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ / 9.80) E

m = 3,265 10⁻²⁰ E

The value of the electric field if it is a theoretical problem must be given and if it is an experiment it can be calculated with measures of the spacing between plates and the applied voltage, so that the system is in equilibrium

A tennis player strikes a tennis ball from underneath with her racket. The ball is sent straight up with an initial velocity of

Stels [109]

So the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s so that’s how quickly it will accelerate downwards. You can use a kinematic equation to determine your answer. We know that initial velocity was 19 m/s, final velocity must be 0 m/s because it’s at the very top, and the acceleration is -9.8 m/s. You can then use this equation:

Vf^2=Vo^2+2ax

Plugging in values:

361=19.6x

If position vector r = bt^2i + ct^3j, where b and c are positive constants, when does the velocity vector make an angle of 450 w

vazorg [7]

$\vec r(t)=bt^2\,\vec\imath+ct^3\,\vec\jmath$

The velocity at time $t$ is

$\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}=2bt\,\vec\imath+3ct^2\,\vec\jmath$

Take two vectors that point in the positive $x$ and positive $y$ directions, such as $\vec\imath$ and $\vec\jmath$ . The dot products of the velocity vector with $\vec\imath$ and $\vec\jmath$ are

$\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}\cdot\vec\imath=2bt=\sqrt{4b^2t^2+9c^2t^4}\cos\theta$

and

$\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}\cdot\vec\jmath=3ct^2=\sqrt{4b^2t^2+9c^2t^4}\cos\theta$

We want the angles between these vectors to be 45º, for which we have $\cos45^\circ=\frac1{\sqrt2}$ . So

$\begin{cases}2\sqrt2\,bt=\sqrt{4b^2t^2+9c^2t^4}\\3\sqrt2\,ct^2=\sqrt{4b^2t^2+9c^2t^4}\end{cases}\implies3\sqrt2\,ct^2-2\sqrt2\,bt=0$

$\implies t(3ct-2b)=0$

$\implies t=0\text{ or }t=\dfrac{2b}{3c}$

When $t=0$ , the velocity vector is equal to the zero vector, which technically has no direction/doesn't make an angle with any other vector. So the only time this happens is for

$\boxed{t=\dfrac{2b}{3c}}$

Stars seen in the night sky appear to move ____ relative to polaris.

Fed [463]

The answer is counter clockwise relative to the polaris. The polaris, also known as northern star would seem a bit more stable on the night sky as the point of vision is up north, the stars however around this would look as if it was rotating, left to right but since the earth is round in shape it follows a circular pattern.
