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

How much current will pass through a 12.5 ohm resistor when it is connected to ta 115 volt source of electrical potential?
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

9.2 amperes

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that the voltage V across a conductor of resistance R is given by V = R I

Here, voltage V is proportional to the current I.

For voltage, unit is volts (V)

For current, unit is amperes (A)

For resistance, unit is Ohms (Ω)

Put R = 12.5 and V = 115 in V=RI

115=12.5I\\I=\frac{115}{12.5}\\ =9.2\,\,amperes

What two factors affect the rate of acceleration of an object?
Masja [62]

For help with this answer, we look to Newton's second law of motion:

     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Since the question seems to focus on acceleration, let's get
'acceleration' all alone on one side of the equation, so we can
really see what's going on.

Here's the equation again:

                                                 Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by 'mass',
and we have:                            Acceleration = (force) / (mass) .

Now the answer jumps out at us:  The rate of acceleration of an object
is determined by the object's mass and by the strength of the net force
acting on the object.
