Millikan's oil-drop experiment measures the charge on individual oil drops. Why would you try to set the electric field force on

a drop equal to the gravitational force on that drop?

<span>he electric field is set to produce a force that will balance the force of gravity thereby stopping the drop from falling. The gravitational force is M*g where M is the mass of the oil drop and g is the acceleration due to gravity. The electric field force is produced between two metal plate and is given by Fe = q*V/d where q is the charge , V is the voltage needed to create the electric field and d is the separation of the plates. M can be determined from the rate of fall of a drop with no electric field. Equating the forces Mg =q*V/d and solving for q we get q=M*g*d/V. Millikan found that q turned out to be an integral multiple of a particular number which was taken as the charge of an electron.</span>

allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

We need 2 different equations for this problem: first the velocity of sound equation, then the frequency of the sound equation.

The velocity of sound is found in:

v = 331.5 + .606T

We need to find that first in order to fill it into the frequency equation which is

f=\frac{v}{\lambda} where v is the velocity we will find the part a, f is frequency and lambda is the wavelength. Starting with the velocity of the sound:

v = 331.5 + .606(25) and

v = 331.5 + 15 and rounding correctly using the rules for sig fig when adding:

v = 347 m/s

Filling that into the frequency equation:

75=\frac{347}{\lambda} and

\lambda=\frac{347}{75} so

\lambda=4.6m

Suppose a scientist conducts a series of experiments and the results are so amazing she wants to share them with other experts i
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The results have not been through the rigorous process of peer review

Explanation:

When a scientist conducts a study and obtains results, those results ought to be submitted to a reputable journal where the results would go through the rigorous protocol of peer review.

During this process, the reliability of the data presented is ascertained before the results are published for other scientists to see.

If the results are hurriedly published on the internet, many researchers who come in contact with the work may be fed with inaccurate information.

Hey there!
eimsori [14]

The time taken for the two balls to hit each other is 8 s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Acceleration of the rocket, a = 2 m/s²</em>
  • <em>Length of the chamber, s = 4 m</em>
  • <em>Speed of the first ball, = V1 = 0.3 m/s</em>
  • <em>Speed of the second ball, V2 = 0.2 m/s</em>

The time taken for the two balls to hit each other is calculated by applying relative velocity formula as shown below;

(V_1 - (-V_2) )t = s\\\\(V_1 + V_2) t = s\\\\(0.3 + 0.2) t = 4\\\\0.5t = 4\\\\t = \frac{4}{0.5} \\\\t = 8 \ s

Thus, the time taken for the two balls to hit each other is 8 s.

sweet [91]

Answer:

a). 53.75 N and 101.92 N

b). 381.44 N and 723.25 N

Explanation:

V= 77 \frac{km}{h}* \frac{1h}{3600 s} *\frac{1000m}{1 km} = 21.38 \frac{m}{s} \\V=106 \frac{km}{h}* \frac{1h}{3600 s} *\frac{1000m}{1 km} = 29.44 \frac{m}{s}

a).

ρ= 1.2 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }, A_{t}= 0.7 m^{2}, D_{t}= 0.28

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * D_{t} * A_{t}* p_{t}* v_{t}^{2}

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * 0.28 * 0.7m^{2} * 1.2\frac{kg}{m^{3} }* 21.38^{2}= 53.75 N

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * 0.28 * 0.7m^{2} * 1.2\frac{kg}{m^{3} }* 29.44^{2}= 101.92 N

b).

ρ= 1.2 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }, A_{h}= 2.44 m^{2}, D_{h}= 0.57

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * D_{h} * A_{h}* p_{h}* v_{h}^{2}

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * 0.57 * 2.44 m^{2} * 1.2\frac{kg}{m^{3} }* 21.38^{2}= 381.44 N

F_{t1} = \frac{1}{2} * 0.57 * 2.44 m^{2} * 1.2\frac{kg}{m^{3} }* 29.44^{2}= 723.25 N

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency? Hz(b) What is its wavelength in glas
vekshin1
<h2>Answers:</h2>

The speed of a wave is given by:

v=f.\lambda  (1)

Where f is the frequency and  \lambda the wavelength.

In the case of light, its speed is:

c=f.\lambda (2)

On the other hand, the described situation is known as Refraction,   a phenomenon in which the light changes its direction when passing through a medium with a refractive index different from the other medium.  

In this context, the Refractive index n is a number that describes how fast light propagates through a medium or material, and is defined as the relation between the speed of light in vacuum (c=3(10)^{8}m/s) and the speed of light v in the second medium:

n=\frac{c}{v} (3)

In addition, as the light changes its direction, its wavelength changes as well:

n=\frac{\lambda_{air}}{\lambda_{glass}} (4)

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h2>a) Frequency</h2>

From equation (2) we can find f:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}  (5)

Knowing that 1nm=(10)^{-9}m:

f=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{632.8(10)^{-9}m}  

f=4.74(10)^{14}Hz}     (6)   >>>Frequency of the helium-neon laser light

<h2>b) Wavelength in glass</h2>

We already know the wavelength of the light in air \lambda_{air} and the index of refraction of the glass.

So, we only have to find the wavelength in glass \lambda_{glass} from equation (4):

\lambda_{glass}=\frac{\lambda_{air}}{n}

\lambda_{glass}=\frac{632.8(10)^{-9}m}{1.48}

\lambda_{glass}=427(10)^{-9}m=427nm   (7)   >>>Wavelength of the helium-neon laser light in glass

<h2>c) Speed in glass</h2>

From equation (3) we can find the speed vof this light in glass:

v=\frac{c}{n}

v=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{1.48}

v=2.027(10)^{8}m/s   (8)  >>>Speed of the helium-neon laser light in glass
