Answer:

r = 9.92 mm

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of oil drop, m=2\times 10^{-15}\ kg

It acquires 2 surplus electrons, q = +2e =3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C

Potential difference, V = 620 V

Thie potential difference is applied between the pair of horizontal metal plates the drop is in equilibrium.

We need to find the distance between the plates.

At equilibrium,

mg = qE

Since, E = V/r (r is distance between plates)

mg=\dfrac{qV}{r}\\\\r=\dfrac{qV}{mg}\\\\r=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 620}{2\times 10^{-15}\times 10}\\\\=0.00992\ m\\\\=9.92\ mm

So, the distance between the plates is 9.92 mm.

earnstyle [38]
Most clouds form in the atmosphere when moist air rises expands and cool to the dew point. When the air above reaches its saturation point, the water vapor is attracted to dust particles which when they accumulate the hold on tho each other and form clouds. Evaporation and condensation is what causes saturation above. When the clouds become heavy enough with moisture, the water then fall to earth as rain. <span />

A block, M1=10kg, slides down a smooth, curved incline of height 5m. It collides elastically with another block, M2=5kg, which i
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

2.86 m

Explanation:

Given:

M₁ = 10 kg

M₂ = 5 kg

\mu_k = 0.5

height, h = 5 m

distance traveled, s = 2 m

spring constant, k = 250 N/m

now,

the initial velocity of the first block as it approaches the second block

u₁ = √(2 × g × h)

or

u₁ = √(2 × 9.8 × 5)

or

u₁ = 9.89 m/s

let the velocity of second ball be v₂

now from the conservation of momentum, we have

M₁ × u₁ = M₂ × v₂

on substituting the values, we get

10 × 9.89 = 5 × v₂

or

v₂ = 19.79 m/s

now,

let the velocity of mass 2 when it reaches the spring be v₃

from the work energy theorem,  we have

Work done by the friction force = change in kinetic energy of the mass 2

or

0.5\times5\times9.8\times2 = \frac{1}{2}\times5\times( v_3^2-19.79^2)

or

v₃ = 20.27 m/s

now, let the spring is compressed by the distance 'x'

therefore, from the conservation of energy

we have

Energy of the spring =  Kinetic energy of the mass 2

or

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_3^2

on substituting the values, we get

\frac{1}{2}\times250\times x^2=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times20.27^2

or

x = 2.86 m

Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units and points in the positive x direction. A second vector, B , has a magnitude of 120 units a
Alex Ar [27]

A) Vector A

The x-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

v_x = v cos \theta

where

v is the magnitude of the vector

\theta is the angle between the x-axis and the direction of the vector

- Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so \theta_A = 0^{\circ}. So its x-component is

A_x = A cos \theta_A = (50) cos 0^{\circ}=50

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is \theta_B = -70^{\circ} (negative since it is below the x-axis), so the x-component is

B_x = B cos \theta_B = (120) cos (-70^{\circ})=41

So, vector A has the greater x component.

B) Vector B

Instead, the y-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

v_y = v sin \theta

Here we have

- Vector B has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so \theta_A = 0^{\circ}. So its y-component is

A_y = A sin \theta_A = (50) sin 0^{\circ}=0

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is \theta_B = -70^{\circ}, so the y-component is

B_y = B sin \theta_B = (120) sin (-70^{\circ})=-112.7

where the negative sign means the direction is along negative y:

So, vector B has the greater y component.
