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 traditional set of cycling rollers has two identical, parallel cylinders in the rear of the device that the rear tire of the b

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

ω2 = 216.47 rad/s

Explanation:

given data

radius r1 = 460 mm

radius r2 = 46 mm

ω = 32k rad/s

solution

we know here that power generated by roller that is

power = T. ω ..............1

power = F × r × ω

and this force of roller on cylinder is equal and opposite force apply by roller

so power transfer equal in every cylinder so

( F × r1 × ω1) ÷ 2 = ( F × r2 × ω2 ) ÷ 2 ................2

ω2 = $\frac{460\times 32}{34\times 2}$

ω2 = 216.47

What are the magnitude and direction of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball? (enter your magnitude to at least one decimal

murzikaleks [220]

Details are missing in the question. Complete text of the problem:

"The gravitational force exerted on a baseball is 2.28 N down. A pitcher throws the ball horizontally with velocity 16.5 m/s by uniformly accelerating it along a straight horizontal line for a time interval of 181 ms. The ball starts from rest.

(a) Through what distance does it move before its release? (m)
(b) What are the magnitude and direction of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball? (Enter your magnitude to at least one decimal place.)"

Solution

(a) The pitcher accelerates the baseball from rest to a final velocity of $v_f = 16.5 m/s$ , so $\Delta v=16.5 m/s$ , in a time interval of $\Delta t = 181 ms=0.181 s$ . The acceleration of the ball in the horizontal direction (x-axis) is therefore

$a_x = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}= \frac{16.5 m/s}{0.181 s}=91.2 m/s^2$

And the distance covered by the ball during this time interval, before it is released, is:

$S= \frac{1}{2} a_x (\Delta t)^2 = \frac{1}{2} (91.2 m/s^2)(0.181 s)^2=1.49 m$

(b) For this part we need to consider also the weight of the ball, which is $W=mg=2.28 N$

From this, we find its mass: $m= \frac{W}{g}= \frac{2.28 N}{9.81 m/s^2}=0.23 Kg$

Now we can calculate the magnitude of the force the pitcher exerts on the ball. On the x-axis, we have

$F_x = m a_x = (0.23 kg)(91.2 m/s^2)=20.98 N$

We also know that the ball is moving straight horizontally. This means that the vertical component of the force exerted by the pitcher must counterbalance the weight of the ball (acting downward), in order to have a net force of zero along the y-axis, and so:

$F_y=W=mg=2.28 N$ (upward)

So, the magnitude of the force is

$F= \sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}= \sqrt{(20.98N)^2+(2.28N)^2}=21.2 N$

To find the direction, we should find the angle of F with respect to the horizontal. This is given by

$\tan \alpha = \frac{F_y}{F_x}= \frac{2.28 N}{20.98 N}=0.11$

From which we find $\alpha=6.2^{\circ}$

To hoist himself into a tree, a 72.0-kg man ties one end of a nylon rope around his waist and throws the other end over a branch

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

man upward acceleration is 0.14m/s^2

Explanation:

given data:

mass of man = 72 kg

downward force = 360 N

The mass of man of weight 72 kg is hang from two sections of rope, one section pf rope ties around man waist and other section is ties in man hands. when he pulls down the rope with 360 N force then each section of rope pulls with 360 N

we know that

Weight= mass × gravity= 72kg × 9.8 = 705.6N

Force = mass× acceleration

Force= -705.6 + (2 × 358) = 10.4 N

$acceleration = \frac{10.4}{72} = 0.14m/s^2$

A system contains a perfectly elastic spring, with an unstretched length of 20 cm and a spring constant of 4 N/cm.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

a) When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is

0.18 J

b) When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated using the following equation:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = stretched lenght.

Let´s calculate the elastic potential energy of the spring when it is stretched 3 cm (0.03 m).

First, let´s convert the spring constant units into N/m:

4 N/cm · 100 cm/m = 400 N/m

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.03 m)²

EPE = 0.18 J

When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.18 J

b) Now let´s calculate the elastic potential energy when the spring is stretched 0.06 m:

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.06 m)²

EPE = 0.72 J

When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J
