Answer:

39,098‬ kg

Explanation:

KE = .5 * m * v^2

52000=.5m * 1.63^2

52000=.5m * 2.66

52000/2.66=.5m

19,549 = .5m

19549/.5 = m

m=39,098‬ kg

A 0.80-μm-diameter oil droplet is observed between two parallel electrodes spaced 11 mm apart. The droplet hangs motionless if t

Arisa [49]

A) $2.4\cdot 10^{-16}kg$

The radius of the oil droplet is half of its diameter:

$r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.80 \mu m}{2}=0.40 \mu m = 0.4\cdot 10^{-6}m$

Assuming the droplet is spherical, its volume is given by

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi (0.4\cdot 10^{-6} m)^3=2.68\cdot 10^{-19} m^3$

The density of the droplet is

$\rho=885 kg/m^3$

Therefore, the mass of the droplet is equal to the product between volume and density:

$m=\rho V=(885 kg/m^3)(2.68\cdot 10^{-19} m^3)=2.4\cdot 10^{-16}kg$

B) $1.5\cdot 10^{-18}C$

The potential difference across the electrodes is

$V=17.8 V$

and the distance between the plates is

$d=11 mm=0.011 m$

So the electric field between the electrodes is

$E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{17.8 V}{0.011 m}=1618.2 V/m$

The droplet hangs motionless between the electrodes if the electric force on it is equal to the weight of the droplet:

$qE=mg$

So, from this equation, we can find the charge of the droplet:

$q=\frac{mg}{E}=\frac{(2.4\cdot 10^{-16}kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}{1618.2 V/m}=1.5\cdot 10^{-18}C$

C) Surplus of 9 electrons

The droplet is hanging near the upper electrode, which is positive: since unlike charges attract each other, the droplet must be negatively charged. So the real charge on the droplet is

$q=-1.5\cdot 10^{-18}C$

we can think this charge has made of N excess electrons, so the net charge is given by

$q=Ne$

where

$e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the charge of each electron

Re-arranging the equation for N, we find:

$N=\frac{q}{e}=\frac{-1.5\cdot 10^{-18}C}{-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C}=9.4 \sim 9$

so, a surplus of 9 electrons.

What is the bouncing of light when it changes media

matrenka [14]

When light passes from one medium to another, part of it continues on
into the new medium, while the rest of it bounces away from the boundary,
back into the first medium.

The part of the light that continues on into the new medium is transmitted
light. Its forward progress at any point in its journey is transmission.

Its direction usually changes as it crosses the boundary. The bending is 
refraction.

The part of the light that bounces away from the boundary and heads back
into the first medium is reflected light. The process of bouncing is reflection.

What kínd of cloud that is puffy and often with flat bases.

Slav-nsk [51]

Cumulus, theres three types of clouds first one is cirrus is look like a feather this kind of cloud are the most highest one between this three clouds, cumulus is a like a cotton and flat bases is located in the central of cirrus and stratus, stratus when we have this kind of clouds certainly going to rain, and these clouds are the most lower
