A negative oil droplet is held motionless in a millikan oil drop experiment. What happens if the switch is opened?

1 answer:

0 0

In Millikan oil drop experiment, when the switch is opened and by altering supply the charge of electron is determined.

Explanation:

Millikan's oil drop experiment is held to determine the terminal velocity and charge of the oil drop.

Firstly without any supply of voltage when an oil drop is sprinkled and these droplets gather electrons together and gives negative charge as they pass through air.

By applying and altering voltage applied on the plates, drop can be suspended in air. Millikan observed one drop after another, varying the voltage and noting the effect. After many repetitions he concluded that charge could assume only certain fixed values.

After conducting many times he concluded 1.602176487 ×10−19 C as the charge of an electron.

A 0.450 kg soccer ball has a kinetic energy of 119 J.

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

V is approximately = 23m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = ½ mv²

Where m= mass = 0.450kg

V= velocity =?

K. E = 119J

Therefore

K. E = ½ mv²

Input values given

119= ½ × 0.450 × v²

Multiply both sides by 2

119 ×2 = 2 × 1/2 × 0.450 × v²

238= 0.450v²

Divide both sides by 0.450

238/0.450 = 0.450v²/0.450

v² = 528.89

Square root both sides

Sq rt v² = sq rt 528.89

V = 22.998m/s

V is approximately = 23m/s

A U.S. Department of Energy report estimates that over 100 billion kWh/year can be saved in the United States by various energy-

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

(a). 12 plants

(b). 3171 $

Explanation:

(a)first convert units of 100 billion kWh/year into Watts(W)

also convert the units of 1000 MW into Watts(W)

1 billion = 10^9

1 year = 365*24 = 8760 hrs

100 billion kWh/year = 1 $\frac{100*(10^9)*(10^3)}{8760}$

= $1.142*10^{10}$ W

1000 MW = $1000*10^{6} = 10^{9}W$

no. of plants = $\frac{1.14155*10^{10} }{10^9}$ = 11.4

So 12 plants required

(b)

savings = unit price*total units

= $0.1 * 1.142*10^{10}( \frac{1}{1000*3600} )$

= 3170.9 =3171 $

A linear accelerator produces a pulsed beam of electrons. The pulse current is 0.50 A, and the pulse duration is 0.10 μs. (a) Ho

Crank

Answer:

a)N = 3.125 * 10¹¹

b) I(avg) = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵A

c)P(avg) = 1250W

d)P = 2.5 × 10⁷W

Explanation:

Given that,

pulse current is 0.50 A

duration of pulse Δt = 0.1 × 10⁻⁶s

a) The number of particles equal to the amount of charge in a single pulse divided by the charge of a single particles

N = Δq/e

charge is given by Δq = IΔt

so,

N = IΔt / e

$N = \frac{(0.5)(0.1 * 10^-^6)}{(1.6 * 10^-^1^9)} \\= 3.125 * 10^1^1$

N = 3.125 * 10¹¹

b) Q = nqt

where q is the charge of 1puse

n = number of pulse

the average current is given as I(avg) = Q/t

I(avg) = nq

I(avg) = nIΔt

= (500)(0.5)(0.1 × 10⁻⁶)

= 2.5 × 10⁻⁵A

C) If the electrons are accelerated to an energy of 50 MeV, the acceleration voltage must,

eV = K

V = K/e

the power is given by

P = IV

P(avg) = I(avg)K / e

$P(avg) = \frac{(2.5 * 10^-^5)(50 * 10^6 . 1.6 * 10^-^1^9)}{1.6 * 10^-^1^9}$

= 1250W

d) Final peak=

P= Ik/e

= $= P(avg) = \frac{(0.5)(50 * 10^6 . 1.6 * 10^-^1^9)}{1.6 * 10^-^1^9}\\2.5 * 10^7W$

P = 2.5 × 10⁷W
