publish a book in which he explained his heliocentric theory.

Explanation:

The heliocentric theory is the one according which the Sun is in the center of our Solar Sistem and the planets go around it.

Previously to this theory (before Copernicus) the prevalent theory was geocentrism accordind which it was the earth who stood in the center and all the other celestial bodies went around it.

The smallest unit of charge is − 1.6 × 10 − 19 C, which is the charge in coulombs of a single electron. Robert Millikan was able

vovangra [49]

Answer:

$-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C,\ -3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C, -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C$

Explanation:

<u>Charge of an Electron</u>

Since Robert Millikan determined the charge of a single electron is

$q_e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C$

Every possible charged particle must have a charge that is an exact multiple of that elemental charge. For example, if a particle has 5 electrons in excess, thus its charge is $5\times -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C=-8 \cdot 10^{-19}\ C$

Let's test the possible charges listed in the question:

$-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }$ . We have just found it's a possible charge of a particle

$-3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }$ . Since 3.2 is an exact multiple of 1.6, this is also a possible charge of the oil droplets

$-1.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }$ this is not a possible charge for an oil droplet since it's smaller than the charge of the electron, the smallest unit of charge

$-5.6 \times 10 ^{-19 },\ -9.4 \times 10 ^{-19 }$ cannot be a possible charge for an oil droplet because they are not exact multiples of 1.6

Finally, the charge $-4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C$ is four times the charge of the electron, so it is a possible value for the charge of an oil droplet

Summarizing, the following are the possible values for the charge of an oil droplet:

$-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C,\ -3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C, -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C$

A young girl slides down a rope. As she slides

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The girl will move with constant velocity

Explanation:

If after a certain time t_0 the velocity of the girl is v_0 =gt_0 and the upward force on the girl due to rope is mg ,where g is gravitational acceleration. Then the girl will move down with the constant velocity v_0 .

The girl will move with constant velocity,as explained above.
