You've been hired to design the hardware for an ink jet printer. You know that these printers use a deflecting electrode to caus

e charged ink drops to form letters on a page. The basic mechanism is that uniform ink drops of about 30 microns radius are charged to varying amounts after being sprayed out towards the page at a speed of about 20 m/s. Along the way to the page, they pass into a region between two deflecting plates that are 1.6 cm long. The deflecting plates are 1.0 mm apart and charged to 1500 volts. You measure the distance from the edge of the plates to the paper and find that it is one-half inch. Assuming an uncharged droplet forms the bottom of the letter, how much charge is needed on the droplet to form the top of a letter 3 mm high (11 pt. type)

Answer:

the required charged is 7.06 × 10⁻¹³ C

Explanation:

Given that;

Radius = 30 microns = 30 × 10⁻⁶

Speed v = 20 m/s

length x = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

spacing d = 1.0 mm = 0.001 m

Voltage V = 1500 V

from the question, the electric field between the plates is uniform and equal to Voltage divided by the distance between the plates.

Electric field E = V/d

E = 1500 V /  0.001 m

E = 1.5 × 10⁶ V/m

Mass of ink drop m = pv

m = 10³ kg/m³ × \frac{4}{3}πr³

m = 1000 kg/m³ × \frac{4}{3}π × (30 × 10⁻⁶)³

m = 1.131 × 10⁻¹⁰ Kg

Time taken to travel t =  x / sped

t = 0.016 m / 20 m/s

t = 0.0008 s

From the kinematic equation

to form the top of a letter 3 mm ( 0.003 m )high

y = \frac{1}{2}at²

2y = at²

a = 2y/t²

we substitute

a = (2 × 0.003 m) / (0.0008 s)²

a =  9375 m/s²

Now Force F = Eq = ma

so

q = ma / E

we substitute

q = ( 1.131 × 10⁻¹⁰ Kg × 9375 m/s² ) / ( 1.5 × 10⁶ V/m )

q = 7.06 × 10⁻¹³ C

Therefore, the required charged is 7.06 × 10⁻¹³ C

qaws [65]

Answer:

A) The net force

Explanation:

If two forces of equal strength act on an object in opposite directions, the forces will cancel, resulting in a net force of zero and no movement.

On the Apollo 14 mission to the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball with a 6 iron. The acceleration due to gravity on t
kozerog [31]

Answer:

a) 6 times farther.  b) 6 times longer.

Explanation:

Once released, in the horizontal direction, no other forces act on the ball, so it continues moving at the same initial velocity, which is given by the projection of the velocity vector in the horizontal direction, as follows:

vₓ = v* cos (25º) = 23 m/s * 0.906 = 20.8 m/s

In the vertical direction, the initial velocity is the projection of the velocity vector along the vertical axis, as follows:

vy = v* sin (25º) = 23 m/s * 0.422 = 9.72 m/s

Assuming that the acceleration is constant, and equal to 1/6*g, we can calculate the total time of flight, with the following kinematic equation for the vertical displacement:

y = voy*t - (\frac{1}{2}*\frac{g}{6} * t^{2} )

If the total displacement in the vertical direction is 0 (which means  that the time if the total time of flight), we can solve for t, as follows:

t = \frac{voy*12}{g} = \frac{9.72 m/s*12}{9.8m/s2} = 11. 9 s

On earth, this time could be calculated in the same way:

t = \frac{voy*12}{g} = \frac{9.72 m/s*2}{9.8m/s2} = 1.98 s

As the time is defined by the vertical movement, we can find the horizontal distance travelled on the moon, as follows:

Δx = v₀ₓ * t = 20.8 m/s * 11. 9 s = 248.1 m

On earth, the distance travelled had been as follows:

Δx = v₀ₓ * t = 20.8 m/s * 1.98 s = 41.3 m

⇒ Δx(moon) / Δx(earth) = 248.1 / 41.3 = 6.00

b) As we have just found, the time of flight on the moon and on the earth are as follows:

tmoon = 11. 9 s

tearth = 1.98 s

⇒ t(moon) / t(earth) = 11.9 / 1.98 = 6.0
