In the early 1900s, Robert Millikan used small charged droplets of oil, suspended in an electric field, to make the first quantitative measurements of the electron’s charge. A 0.71-um-diameter droplet of oil, having a charge of , is suspended in midair between two horizontal plates of a parallel-plate capacitor. The upward electric force on the droplet is exactly balanced by the downward force of gravity. The oil has a density of 860 kg/m^3 , and the capacitor plates are 4.5 mm apart.

Part A
What must the potential difference between the plates be to hold the droplet in equilibrium?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units

ΔV=

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The potential difference is   [tex]\Delta V  =  44.40 \  V [/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The diameter of the droplet of oil is [tex]d =  0.71 \mu m  =  0.71 *10^{-6} \ m[/tex]

    The density of the oil is  [tex]\rho =  860 kg/m^3[/tex]

    The distance of separation of the capacitor plate is  [tex]l  = 4.5 \ mm =  0.0045 \  m[/tex]

Generally the radius of the droplet is mathematically represented as

       [tex]r = \frac{d}{2}[/tex]

=>      [tex]r = \frac{0.71 *10^{-6} }{2}[/tex]

=>      [tex]r = 3.55 *0^{-7} \  m[/tex]

Generally the mass of  the oil droplet is mathematically represented as

       [tex]m  =  \rho  *  V[/tex]

Here  V  is the volume of the oil droplet which is mathematically represented as

      [tex]V  =  \frac{4}{3} * 3.142 * (3.55 *0^{-7} )^3[/tex]

       [tex]V  =  1.874 *10^{-19} \  m^3[/tex]

So

       [tex]m  =  860  *  1.874 *10^{-19} [/tex]

=>    [tex]m  =  1.611 *10^{-16} \  kg [/tex]

Generally the electric force acting on the droplet is mathematically represented as  

       [tex]F  =  E  *  q[/tex]

Here q is the charge on an electron with value  [tex]q =  1.60*10^{-19}\ C[/tex]

This force is equivalent to the weight of the droplet which is mathematically represented as

        [tex]W =  mg[/tex]

So

       [tex]E *  q =  m *  g[/tex]

Here E is the electric field which is mathematically represented as

    [tex]E =  \frac{\Delta V}{l}[/tex]

      [tex]\frac{\Delta V}{l}  *  q =  m *  g[/tex]

=>    [tex]\Delta V  =  \frac{m *  g  *  l }{q}[/tex]

=>    [tex]\Delta V  =  \frac{1.611 *10^{-16}  *  9.8   *  0.0045 }{1.60*10^{-19}}[/tex]

=>    [tex]\Delta V  =  44.40 \  V [/tex]

A 1125 kg car was traveling at 20 m/s toward a traffic signal when the light suddenly turned red. The driver stomped on her accelerator, clearing the intersection in 1.7 seconds and coming to a speed of 24.6 m/s . What was the acceleration of the car?

Answers

Answer:

a = 3.88 m/s^2  (3.88 meters per second squared)

Explanation:

The acceleration of the car can be obtained based of the change of velocities  (from initial velocity "vi" to final velocity "vf") in the given amount of time:

In our case:

a = (26.6 - 20) / 1.7 = 3.88 m/s^2

On his fishing trip Justin takes the boat 4 km south. The fish aren’t biting so he goes 4 km back east. He follows a school of fish 4 km further north and then 3 km west. What distance did he cover? What was his displacement?

Answers

Answer:

Distance = 15km

Displacement = 1km

Explanation:

the total distance covered is how far Justin has travelled =  4km + 4km + 4km + 3km

Total distance covered = 15km

To get the displacement, we will use the Pythagoras theorem. Find the diagram attached.

From the diagram, the displacement D is expressed as:

D = AC - BC

From the diagram

AC = 4km

BC = 3km

D = 4km - 3km

D = 1km

Hence his displacement is 1km

15. An astronaut on the moon has a 110 kg crate and a 230 kg crate. How do the forces required to liftyihe crates straight up on the moon compare with the forces required to lift them on Earth?​

Answers

Explanation:

Mass of carte 1 is 110 kg and that of crate 2 is 230 kg

Force required to lift crates is equal to its crate i.e. W = mg

On Moon, a = 1.625 m/s²

Weight of crate 1, W = 110 kg × 1.625 m/s²  = 178.75 N

Weight of crate 2, W = 230 kg × 1.625 m/s²  = 373.75 N

On Earth, g = 9.8 m/s²

Weight of crate 1, W = 110 kg × 9.8 m/s²  = 1078 N

Weight of crate 2, W = 230 kg × 9.8 m/s²  = 2254 N

Hence, this is the required solution.

The forces required to lift the crates straight up on the Moon is lesser than the forces required to lift them on Earth.

Given the following data:

Mass A = 110 kgMass B = 230 kg

Scientific data:

Acceleration due to gravity on Earth = 9.8 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]Acceleration due to gravity on Moon = 1.6 [tex]m/s^2[/tex]

The formula for weight.

Mathematically, the weight of an object is given by the formula;

[tex]Weight = mg[/tex]

Where;

m is the mass of the object.g is the acceleration due to gravity.

For the weight on Moon:

[tex]Weight \;A= 110 \times 1.6[/tex]

Weight A = 176 Newton.

[tex]Weight \;B=230 \times 1.6[/tex]

Weight B = 368 Newton.

For the weight on Earth:

[tex]Weight \;A= 110 \times 9.8[/tex]

Weight A = 1,078 Newton.

[tex]Weight \;B=230 \times 9.8[/tex]

Weight B = 2,254 Newton.

In conclusion, the forces required to lift the crates straight up on the Moon is lesser than the forces required to lift them on Earth.

A disc with moment of inertia 1.5 kg m2 is rotating with an angular speed of 800 rev/min on a shaft. A second disc, initially at rest and with moment of inertia 5.0 kg m2,is suddenly clamped together to the same shaft.
(a) Determine magnitude of angular momentum of the first disc.
(b) Determine the common angular speed of the combination of the two discs.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Angular momentum p = Iw

I is the moment of inertia

w is the angular velocity

a) Angular momentum of the first disc

p1 = I1w1

Given

I1 = 1.5kg/m²

w1 = 800rev/min

Convert to rad/s

1 rev = 6.283rad

1 min = 60secs

800rev/min = 800(6.283)/60

= 83.77rad/s

p1 = 1.5×83.77

p1 = 125.66kgrad/s

Hence the magnitude of angular momentum of the first disc is 125.66kgrad/s

b) according to law of conservation of momentum

I1w1+I2w2 = (I1+I2)w

w is the common angular speed

Given

11w1 = 125.66

w2 = 0rad/s

I1 = 1.5kgm²

I2 = 5kgm²

Substitute

125.66+0 = (1.5+5)w

125.66 = 6.6w

w = 125.66/6.5

w = 19.33rad/s

Since 1rad/s = 9.549tev/min

19.33rad/s = 184.6rev/min

Hence the common angular speed of the combination of the two discs is 184.6rev/min

Explanation:

The amount of energy transferred between objects not only depend on their masses, initial and final temperatures but also on their specific heat capacity.

The specific heat capacity plays an important role in ascertaining the amount of thermal energy a body can conduct.

Specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1kelvin. This property is an intensive property of any matter and it determines to a large extent, how far matter are able to transfer energy.

The equation;

              H = m c Ф

slader A barometer accidentally contains 6.5 inches of water on top of the mercury column (so there is also water vapor instead of a vacuum at the top of the barometer). On a day when the temperature is 70oF, the mercury column height is 28.35 inches (corrected for thermal expansion). (a) Determine the barometric pressure in psia. If the ambient temperature increased to 85oF and the barometric pressure did not change, (b) would the mercury column be longer, be shorter, or remain the same length

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

vapour pressure at 70⁰F = .36 psi

pressure of 6.5 inch water column

6.5 inch = 6.5 x 2.54 cm =.165 m

pressure = .165 x 10³ x 9.8 = 1617 Pa

= 1617 x .000145 psi

= .23 psi

28.35 inch = 28.35 x 2.54 cm = .72 m

pressure = .72 x 13.6 x 10³ x 9.8

= 95961.6 Pa

= 95961.6 x .000145 psi

= 13.91 psi

a ) Barometric pressure at  70⁰F

=  pressure due to mercury column of 28.35 inch + water column of 6.5 inch + vapour pressure at 70⁰F

= 13.91 + .23 + .36 psi

= 14.5 psi

b )

If pressure is measured at 85⁰F

vapour pressure will be increased and pressure of dry gas will also be increased . This pressure will force down the column of mercury . So column of mercury will go down .

60 kg

Explanation:

An astronaut weighs 588 N on the earth

He also weighs 98 N on the moon

Therefore the the mass of the astronaut on the moon can be calculated as follows

= 588/98

= 6 × 10

= 60 kg

Hence the mass of the astronaut on the moon is 60 kg

The mass of the astronaut on the moon will be equal to 60 kg whereas the gravitational acceleration on the moon is 1.63 [tex]\rm m/s^2[/tex].

Given information:

An astronaut weighing 588 N on the earth notices that he weighs only 98 N on the moon.

The mass of any object in the whole universe doesn't change but the gravitational force or weight can change. This is because the gravitational acceleration can change.

The mass of the object in the earth or anywhere will be,

[tex]w=mg\\588=m\times 9.8\\m=60\rm \; kg[/tex]

So, the astronaut has 60 kg mass which is constant.

The gravitational acceleration on the moon will be,

[tex]98=60a\\a=1.63\rm\; m/s^2[/tex]

Therefore, the mass of the astronaut on the moon will be equal to 60 kg whereas the gravitational acceleration on the moon is 1.63 [tex]\rm m/s^2[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

The value is [tex]\mu  =0.4286[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the steel cabinet is  [tex]m =  95 \  kg[/tex]

   The threshold angle is  [tex]\theta  =  23.2^o[/tex]

 Generally at the point just before the steel cabinet starts to slide

     The horizontal force on the steel cabinet is equal to the frictional  force that is

       [tex]F_f  =  F_h[/tex]

Here [tex]F_h[/tex] is the horizontal force which is mathematically represented as

       [tex]F_h  =  m * g cos (theta )[/tex]

and  [tex]F_f  =  \mu N[/tex]

Here N is the normal force acting on the steel cabinet and this is mathematically represented as

      [tex]N  =  mg sin (\theta )[/tex]

=>    [tex] m * g cos (theta )=  mg sin (\theta ) *  \mu  [/tex]

=>    [tex]\mu  = tan (\theta )[/tex]

=>    [tex]\mu  = tan (23.2)[/tex]

=>    [tex]\mu  =0.4286[/tex]

The coefficient of static friction between the bed of the truck and steel cabinet is 0.43.

The given parameters;

mass of the steel, m = 95 kgangle of inclination, θ = 23.2⁰

The coefficient of static friction between the bed of the truck and steel cabinet is calculated as follows;

[tex]\Sigma F = 0\\\\mg sin(\theta) - \mu mg cos(\theta) = 0\\\\\mu mg cos(\theta ) = mg sin(\theta)\\\\\mu cos(\theta) = sin(\theta)\\\\\mu = \frac{sin(\theta)}{cos(\theta)} \\\\\mu = tan (\theta)\\\\\mu = tan \ (23.2)\\\\\mu = 0.43[/tex]

To fly in the curved path, the pilot banks the airplane at an angle such that the lift has a horizontal component that provides the horizontal centripetal acceleration to move in a horizontal circular path. If the airplane is banked at an angle of 15.0 degrees, then the radius of curvature of the curved path of the airplane is

Answers

Answer:

The radius of curvature of the curved path of the airplane is 23784.356 meters (23.784 kilometers).

Explanation:

We assume that airplane can be represented as a particle. The free body diagram of the vehicle is presented below as attachment, whose variables are:

[tex]W[/tex] - Weight of the airplane, measured in newtons.

[tex]F[/tex] - Lift, measured in newtons.

[tex]\theta[/tex] - Banking angle, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

The equations of equilibrium associated with the airplane are, respectively:

[tex]\Sigma F_{r} = F\cdot \sin \theta = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}[/tex] (Eq. 1)

[tex]\Sigma F_{z} = F\cdot \cos \theta - W = 0[/tex] (Eq. 2)

From (Eq. 2):

[tex]F = \frac{W}{\cos \theta}[/tex]

In (Eq. 1):

[tex]W\cdot \tan \theta = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}[/tex]

By using the definition of weight, we eliminate the mass of the airplane:

[tex]g\cdot \tan \theta = \frac{v^{2}}{R}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

[tex]v[/tex] - Speed, measured in meters per second.

[tex]R[/tex] - Radius of curvature, measured in meters.

Lastly, we clear the radius of curvature with the expression:

[tex]R = \frac{v^{2}}{g\cdot \tan \theta}[/tex]

If we know that [tex]v = 250\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex] and [tex]\theta = 15^{\circ}[/tex], the radius of curvature is:

[tex]R = \frac{\left(250\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{\left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot \tan 15^{\circ}}[/tex]

[tex]R = 23784.356\,m[/tex]

The radius of curvature of the curved path of the airplane is 23784.356 meters (23.784 kilometers).
