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

a driver travels 135 km, east in 1.5 h, stops for 45 minutes for lunch, and then resumes driving for the next 2.0 h through a di
daser333 [38]

Answer:

v = 98.75 km/h

Explanation:

Given,

The distance driver travels towards the east, d₁ = 135 km

The time period of the travel, t₁ = 1.5 h

The halting time, tₓ = 46 minutes

The distance driver travels towards the east, d₂ = 215 km

The time period of the travel, t₁ = 2 h

The average speed of the vehicle before stopping

                                    v₁ = d₁/t₁

                                        = 135/1.5

                                       = 90 km/h

The average speed of vehicle after stopping

                                    v₂ = d₂/t₂

                                         = 215/2

                                        = 107.5 km/h

The total average velocity of the driver

                                      v = (v₁ +v₂) /2

                                         = (90 + 107.5)/2

                                         = 98.75 km/h

Hence, the average velocity of the driver, v = 98.75 km/h

What is the forms of energy given below.
Damm [24]

Answer:

Lightening of the table lamp

Explanation:

Energy has a different form of energy. In physics, the capacity of the form of energy is work. The energy can exist in the form of thermal, potential, kinetic, chemical and electrical, and nuclear. There are other forms of energy such as work and heat.

The energy is designated according to the nature of the objects. So that when heat transferred it has been changed into thermal. All the forms of energy are related to the motion of an object. Energy can neither destroyed or created.
