Wha is the length of the x-component of the vector plotted below? a. 5b. 1c. 0 d. 3

Does work output exceed work input when a machine is used? a) yes, it does, as machines create energy. b) it depends on the type of machine used. c) no, it doesn’t, as machines are inefficient. d) no, it doesn’t, as machines cannot create energy.

You are still fascinated by the process of inkjet printing, as described in the opening storyline for this chapter. you convince your father to take you to his manufacturing facility to see the machines that print expiration dates on eggs. you strike up a conversation with the technician operating the machine. he tells you that the ink drops are created using a piezoelectric crystal, acoustic waves, and the plateau-rayleigh instability, which creates uniform drops of mass m = 1.25 ✕ 10−8 g. while you don't understand the fancy words, you do recognize mass! the technician also tells you that the drops are charged to a controllable value of q and then projected vertically downward between parallel deflecting plates at a constant terminal speed of 20.0 m/s. the plates are ℓ = 2.15 cm long and have a uniform electric field of magnitude e = 6.40 ✕ 104 n/c between them. noting your interest in the process, the technician asks you, "if the position on the egg at which the drop is to be deposited requires that its deflection at the bottom end of the plates be 0.17 mm, what is the required charge on the drop (in c)? " you quickly get to work to find the answer. (neglect the force of gravity.)

Up of elements with the same number of valence electrons. vertical column in the periodic table of elements such as alkali metals or halogens. a horizontal row of elements in the periodic table. this is a characteristic of the elements in the periodic table that shows a pattern. it may increase or decrease across or down the table. periodic trend these are the highly reactive elements located in group 1 of the periodic table. these elements have one electron in their outer energy level which makes them highly reactive with water and halogens. these are the reactive elements located in group 2 of the periodic table. these elements have two electrons in their outer energy level which makes them reactive with water and halogens. alkaline earth metals these are the group 3 or d-block elements. these dense metals with high boiling points can have different oxidation states and all are solid at room temperature with the exception of mercury. transition metals this is the highly reactive family of elements with 7 valence electrons. this is an element with full valence shell, very unreactive. this is a group of elements with few valence electrons that conducts heat and electricity. one of a class of elements having properties intermediate to metals and nonmetals. this is a type of element that has many valence electrons, not a conductor.
