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 10n force is applied to a 25kg mass to slide it across a frictional surface. What is the acceleration of the mass?
klasskru [66]

Answer: a = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c where c is the coefficient of kinetic friction of the surface

Explanation: We know that, by the second Newton's law, a = F/m

where a is the acceleration, F is the net force and m is the mass of the object.

Then, if the surface is frictionless, the total force applied in the object is 10N, and the mass of the object is 25kg, so the acceleration is:

a =10N/25kg = 0.4m/s^2.

But if the surface is frictional, there will be a force of friction applied in the mass (this depends on the coefficient of friction and the weight of the mass), this means that the acceleration will be reduced.

If = -(9.8*25)*c

where c is a number that is bigger than 0 and smaller than 1, is called the coefficient of kinetic friction.

So the total force is now:

F = (10 - 9.8*25*c)

Then, the acceleration in a frictional surface is equal to:

a = (10 - 9.8*25*c)/25 = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c

Water flows over a section of Niagara Falls at the rate of 1.2×106 kg/s and falls 50.0 m. How much power is generated by the fal
quester [9]

Answer:

5.88×10⁸ W

Explanation:

Power = energy / time

P = mgh / t

P = (m/t) gh

P = (1.2×10⁶ kg/s) (9.8 m/s²) (50.0 m)

P = 5.88×10⁸ W

In a lab, a student drags a shoe across the floor at constant speed. If the coefficient of static friction between the floor and
Svetllana [295]
<span>B) 0.6 N
   I suspect you have a minor error in your question. Claiming a coefficient of static friction of 0.30N is nonsensical. Putting the Newton there is incorrect. The figure of 0.25 for the coefficient of kinetic friction looks OK. So with that correction in mind, let's solve the problem. The coefficient of static friction is the multiplier to apply to the normal force in order to start the object moving. And the coefficient of kinetic friction (which is usually smaller than the coefficient of static friction) is the multiplied to the normal force in order to keep the object moving. You've been given a normal force of 2N, so you need to multiply the coefficient of static friction by that in order to get the amount of force it takes to start the shoe moving. So: 0.30 * 2N = 0.6N And if you look at your options, you'll see that option "B" matches exactly.</span>

Is it possible to accelerate while moving constant speed
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

An object which experiences either a change in the magnitude or the direction of the velocity vector can be said to be accelerating. This explains why an object moving in a circle at constant speed can be said to accelerate - the direction of the velocity changes.
