As a freely falling object picks up downward speed, what happens to the power supplied by the gravitational force?

1 answer:

4 0

We will start from the definition of power in terms of the Force. Power could be described as the change of energy in an instant of time. Considering that Energy is the product between the Force and the distance traveled we would arrive at the expression

$P = \frac{E}{t}$

$P = \frac{F*h}{t}$

Here,

F = Force

h = Height

t = Time

As there is no external force, apart from the force of gravity, and this, is constant during the course of the object we will also have to be constant power and therefore this during its course will be the same. The correct answer is (1)

A small drop of water is suspended motionless in air by a uniform electric field that is directed upward and has a magnitude of

Gennadij [26K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the electric field such as the smelting of the Force and the load (In this case the force is equivalent to the weight). Later we will apply the ratio of the total charge as a function of the multiplication of the number of electrons and their individual charge.

$E = \frac{mg}{q}$

Here,

m = mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Rearranging to find the charge,

$q = \frac{mg}{E}$

Replacing,

$q = \frac{(3.37*10^{-9})(9.8)}{11000}$

$q = 3.002*10^{-12}C$

Since the field is acting upwards the charge on the drop should be negative to balance it in air. The equation to find the number of electrons then is

$q = ne$
