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 gymnast practices two dismounts from the high bar on the uneven parallel bars. during one dismount, she swings up off the bar
Fiesta28 [93]
Note:
The height of a high bar from the floor is h = 2.8 m (or 9.1 ft).
It is not provided in the question, so the standard height is assumed.

g = 9.8 m/s², acceleration due to gravity.
Note that the velocity and distance are measured as positive upward.
Therefore the floor is at a height of h = -2.8 m.

First dismount:
u = 4.0 m/s, initial upward velocity.
Let v = the velocity when the gymnast hits the floor.
Then
v² = u² - 2gh
v² = 16 - 2*9.8*(-2.8) = 70.88
v = 8.42 m/s

Second dismount:
u = -3.0 m/s
v² = (-3.0)² - 2*9.8*(-2.8) = 63.88 m/s
v = 7.99 m/s

The difference in landing velocities is 8.42 - 7.99 = 0.43 m/s.

Answer:
First dismount:
  Acceleration  = 9.8 m/s² downward
  Landing velocity = 8.42 m/s downward

Second dismount:
  Acceleration = 9.8 m/s² downward
  Landing velocity = 7.99 m/s downward

The landing velocities differ by 0.43 m/s.

When driving in heavy rain, or on a flooded road, your tires can ride on a thin film of water like skis;
Simora [160]
The answer is letter a. It is best to slow down in situations of heavy rain or flooded road as skid could be the result if you lose out of control because the driver isn't slowing down. That is why it is being said that tires can ride on a thin film of water skis as it could skid if it has lost control if the driver hadn't slowed down.

A car drives 16 miles south and then 12 miles west. What is the magnitude of the car’s displacement? 4 miles 16 miles 20 miles 2
Ostrovityanka [42]
For this case, what we can do is use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of the displacement of the car.
 We have then
 d ^ 2 = 16 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2&#10;
 From here, we clear the value of d.
 We have then:
 d =  \sqrt{16 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2} &#10;
 Rewriting:
 d = \sqrt{256 + 144}
 d = \sqrt{400}
 d = 20 miles&#10;
 Answer:
 
The magnitude of the car's displacement is:
 
d = 20 miles

A helicopter flies 250 km on a straight path in a direction 60° south of east. The east component of the helicopter’s displaceme
GaryK [48]

Given that,

Distance in south-west direction = 250 km

Projected angle to east = 60°

East component = ?

since,

cos ∅ = base/hypotenuse

base= hyp * cos ∅

East component = 250 * cos 60°

East component = 125 km
