Answer:
The number of molecules is 4.574 x 10¹¹ Molecules
Explanation:
Given;
pressure in the vacuum system, P = 1 x 10⁻⁹ Pa
volume of the vessel, V = 1.9 m³
temperature of the system, T = 28°C = 301 K
Apply ideal gas law;
[tex]PV= nRT = NK_BT[/tex]
Where;
n is the number of gas moles
R is ideal gas constant = 8.314 J / mol.K
[tex]K_B[/tex] is Boltzmann's constant, = 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K
N is number of gas molecules
N = (PV) / ([tex]K_B[/tex]T)
N = (1 x 10⁻⁹ X 1.9) / ( 1.38 x 10⁻²³ X 301)
N = 4.574 x 10¹¹ Molecules
Therefore, the number of molecules is 4.574 x 10¹¹ Molecules
In an adiabatic process:
a. the energy absorbed as heat equals the work done by the systemon its environment
b. the energy absorbed as heat equals the work done by theenvironment on the system
c. the work done by the environment on the system equals the changein internal energy
Answer:
c. the work done by the environment on the system equals the changein internal energy.
Explanation:
Adiabatic process:
When the boundary of a system is perfectly insulated, it means that the energy can not flow from the system and into the system ,these system is known as adiabatic system.
When the energy transfer in the system is zero ,then these type of process is known as adiabatic process.
From the first law of thermodynamics
Q= ΔU + W
Q=Heat transfer
ΔU=Change in internal energy
W=Work transfer
In adiabatic process , Q= 0
Therefore
0=ΔU +W
W=- ΔU
Negative sign indicates that ,the work done by the environment.
Therefore the correct option will be (c).
How to do this question
Answer:
(a) 10 m/s
(b) 22.4 m/s
Explanation:
(a) Draw a free body diagram of the car when it is at the top of the loop. There are two forces: weight force mg pulling down, and normal force N pushing down.
Sum of forces in the centripetal direction (towards the center):
∑F = ma
mg + N = mv²/r
At minimum speed, the normal force is 0.
mg = mv²/r
g = v²/r
v = √(gr)
v = √(10 m/s² × 10.0 m)
v = 10 m/s
(b) Energy is conserved.
Initial kinetic energy + initial potential energy = final kinetic energy
½ mv₀² + mgh = ½ mv²
v₀² + 2gh = v²
(10 m/s)² + 2 (10 m/s²) (20.0 m) = v²
v = 22.4 m/s
A girl is sitting on the edge of a pier with her legs dangling over the water. Her soles are 80.0 cm above the surface of the water. A boy in the water looks up at her feet and wants to touch them with a reed. (nwater =1.333). He will see her soles as being:____
a. right at the water surface.
b. 53.3 cm above the water surface.
c. exactly 80.0 cm above the water surface.
d. 107 cm above the water surface.
e. an infinite distance above the water surface.
Answer:
d. 107 cm above the water surface.
Explanation:
The refractive index of water and air = 1.333
The real height of the girl's sole above water = 80.0 cm
From the water, the apparent height of the girl's sole will be higher than it really is in reality by a factor that is the refractive index.
The boy in the water will therefore see her feet as being
80.0 cm x 1.333 = 106.64 cm above the water
That is approximately 107 cm above the water
How many turns of wire are needed in a circular coil 13 cmcm in diameter to produce an induced emf of 5.6 VV
Answer:
Number of turns of wire(N) = 3,036 turns (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Diameter = 13 Cm
emf = 5.6 v
Note:
The given question is incomplete, unknown information is as follow.
Magnetic field increases = 0.25 T in 1.8 (Second)
Find:
Number of turns of wire(N)
Computation:
radius (r) = 13 / 2 = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m
Area = πr²
Area = (22/7)(0.065)(0.065)
Area = 0.013278 m²
So,
emf = (N)(A)(dB / dt)
5.6 = (N)(0.013278)(0.25 / 1.8)
5.6 = (N)(0.013278)(0.1389)
N = 3,036.35899
Number of turns of wire(N) = 3,036 turns (Approx)
The number of daylight hours, D, in the city of Worcester, Massachusetts, where x is the number of days after January 1 (), may be calculated by the function: What is the period of this function? N/A What is the amplitude of this function? 12 What is the horizontal shift? What is the phase shift? What is the vertical shift? How many hours of sunlight will there be on February 21st of any year?
Answer:
a. 365; b. 3; c. 78; d. 1.343 rad; e. 12; f. 10.66
Explanation:
Assume that the function is
[tex]D(x) = 3 \sin \left (\dfrac{2\pi}{365}(x - 78) \right ) + 12[/tex]
The general formula for a sinusoidal function is
y = A sin(B(x - C))+ D
|A| = amplitude
B = frequency
2π/B = period, P
C = horizontal shift (phase shift)
D = vertical shift
By comparing the two formulas, we find
|A| = 3
B = 2π/365
C = 78
D = 12
a. Period
P = 2π/B = 2π/(2π/365) = 2π × 365/2π = 365
The period is 365.
b. Amplitude
|A| = 3
The amplitude is 3.
c. Horizontal shift
C= 78
The horizontal shift is 78.
d. Phase shift (φ)
Ths phase shift is the horizontal shift expressed in radians.
φ = C × 2π/365 = 78 × 2π/365 ≈ 1.343
The phase shift is 1.343 rad.
e. Vertical shift
D = 12
The vertical shift is 12.
f. Hours of sunlight on Feb 21
Feb 21 is the 52nd day of the year, so x = 51 (the number of days after Jan 1),
[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}D(x) &=& 3 \sin \left (\dfrac{2\pi}{365}(x - 78) \right ) + 12\\\\&=& 3 \sin (0.01721(51 - 78) ) + 12\\&=& 3\sin(-0.4648) + 12\\&=& 3(-0.4482) + 12\\\&=& -1.345 + 12\\& = & \textbf{10.66 h}\\\end{array}[/tex]
There will be 10.66 h of sunlight on Feb 21 of any given year.
The figure below shows the graph of the function from 0 ≤ x ≤ 365.
A loud sound is produced in the downtown section of a city. Which of the following is least likely to occur with the sound waves?
A. The sound wave will reflect off Buildings and automobiles.
B. The air will transmit the sound in longitudinal waves of energy.
C. All those sound waves will be absorbed by the surroundings.
D. The sound will bend spread between buildings by the fraction.
Answer:
A. The sound wave will reflect off Buildings and automobiles.
Explanation:
This is because the sound waves would more likely propagate through diffraction through buildings and transmission through the air. It is also more likely to be absorbed by buildings than for multiple reflections to occur off buildings and automobiles. In the process of reflection, these materials would absorb the sound energy thereby reducing its ability to reflect.

A 28.0 kg child plays on a swing having support ropes that are 2.30 m long. A friend pulls her back until the ropes are 45.0 ∘ from the vertical and releases her from rest.
A: What is the potential energy for the child just as she is released, compared with the potential energy at the bottom of the swing?
B: How fast will she be moving at the bottom of the swing?
C: How much work does the tension in the ropes do as the child swings from the initial position to the bottom?
Answer
A)184.9J
B)=3.63m/s
C) Zero
Explanation:
A)potential energy of the child at the initial position, measured relative the her potential energy at the bottom of the motion, is
U=Mgh
Where m=28kg
g= 9.8m/s
h= difference in height between the initial position and the bottom position
We are told that the rope is L = 2.30 m long and inclined at 45.0° from the vertical
h=L-Lcos(x)= L(1-cosx)=2.30(1-cos45)
=0.674m
Her Potential Energy will now
= 28× 9.8×0.674
=184.9J
B)we can see that at the bottom of the motion, all the initial potential energy of the child has been converted into kinetic energy:
E= 0.5mv^2
where
m = 28.0 kg is the mass of the child
v is the speed of the child at the bottom position
Solving the equation for v, we find
V=√2k/m
V=√(2×184.9/28
=3.63m/s
C)we can find work done by the tension in the rope is given using expresion below
W= Tdcosx
where W= work done
T is the tension
d = displacement of the child
x= angle between the directions of T and d
In this situation, we have that the tension in the rope, T, is always perpendicular to the displacement of the child, d. x= 90∘ and cos90∘=0 hence, the work done is zero.
How wide is the central diffraction peak on a screen 2.30 m behind a 0.0368-mm-wide slit illuminated by 558-nm light
Answer:
The value [tex]y = 0.0349 \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The distance of the screen is [tex]D = 2.30 \ m[/tex]
The width of the slit is [tex]d = 0.0368 \ nm = 0.0368 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]
The wavelength is [tex]\lambda = 558 \ nm = 558 *10^{-9} \ m[/tex]
The width of the central diffraction peak is mathematically represented as
[tex]k = 2 * y[/tex]
Where y is the distance from the center to the high peak which is mathematically represented as
[tex]y = \frac{\lambda * D }{d }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]y = \frac{ 558 *10^{-8} * 2.30 }{0.0368 *10^{-3} }[/tex]
[tex]y = 0.0349 \ m[/tex]
The square armature coil of an alternating current generator has 200 turns and is 20.0 cm on side. When it rotates at 3600 rpm, its peak output voltage is 120 V.
A) What is the frequency of the output voltage?
B) What is the strength of the magnetic field in which the coil is turning?
Answer:
A) 60 Hz
B) 0.04 T
Explanation:
Given that.
Number of turns, N = 200
Length of the side, l = 20 cm = 0.2 m
Speed if rotation, w = 3600 rpm
Voltage, V = 120 V
First, we try to convert the speed from rpm to rad/s
3600 * (2π/60)
3600 * 0.10473
3600 rpm = 377 rad/s
Now, we use that as our w, speed of rotation
Frequency of output, f =
w/2π
f = 377 / 6.284
f = 59.99 Hz or approximately, 60 Hz.
B
Strength of the magnetic field in which the coil is turning
E• = NABw
Where, A = l² = 0.2² = 0.04, on substituting the values to the equation, we have
120 = 200 * 0.04 * 377 * B
120
Making B subject of formula,
B = 120/ 3016
B = 0.04 T..
The frequency of the output voltage is 60 Hz and the strength of the magnetic field is 0.04 T

The distance from the center of a lens to the location where parallel rays converge or appear to converge is called the _____ length.
Answer:
FOCALExplanation:
The center of a lens is known as its optical center. All light rays incident on a particular lens converges at a points a point known as the principal focus or the focal point after reflecting. Note that all light incident on a reflecting surface must all converge at this focal point after reflection.
The distance measured from the center of this lens to its principal focus (otherwise known as focal point) is known as the focal length of the lens.
Based on the explanation above, it cam be concluded that the distance from the center of a lens to the location where parallel rays converge or appear to converge is called the FOCAL length.

Explanation:
Light passes through a single slit. If the width of the slit is reduced, what happens to the width of the central bright fringe
Explanation:
In Single Slit Experiment:
The width of the central diffraction maximum is inversely proportional to the width of the slit.
Therefore, if we make the slit width smaller, the angle T(representing the angle between the wave ray to a point on the screen and the normal line between the slit and the screen) increases, giving a wider central band.
g A certain elevator cab has a total run of 195 m and a maximum speed is 306 m/min, and it accelerates from rest and then back to rest at 1.19 m/s2. (a) How far does the cab move while accelerating to full speed from rest
Answer:
About 23 meters
Explanation:
To do this, you'll want to apply one of the kinematic equations to find the time it takes for the cabin to reach max velocity from rest. (Use the max velocity as V_f and V_i=0)
Then, you can find the distance travelled during the acceleration by equating the acceleration to the change in distance of the time squared.
My work is in the attachment, comment if you have any questions.
A device for acclimating military pilots to the high accelerations they must experience consists of a horizontal beam that rotates horizontally about one end while the pilot is seated at the other end. In order to achieve a radial acceleration of 34.1 m/s2 with a beam of length 5.55 m , what rotation frequency is required?
Answer:
f = 0.4 Hz
Explanation:
The frequency of rotation of an object in order to achieve required centripetal or radial acceleration, can be found out by using the following formula:
f = (1/2π)√(ac/r)
where,
f = frequency of rotation = ?
ac = radial acceleration = 34.1 m/s²
r = radius = length of beam = 5.55 m
Therefore,
f = (1/2π)√[(34.1 m/s²)/(5.55 m)]
f = 0.4 Hz

Problem 25.40 What is the energy (in eV) of a photon of visible light that has a wavelength of 500 nm
Answer:
E = 2.48 eV
Explanation:
The energy of a photon is given by the following formula:
E = hυ
where,
E = Energy of Photon = ?
h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s
υ = frequency of photon = c/λ
Therefore,
E = hc/λ
where,
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
λ = wavelength of light = 500 nm = 5 x 10⁻⁷ m
Therefore,
E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(5 x 10⁻⁷ m)
E = (3.97 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)(1 eV/1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)
E = 2.48 eV
A photon of visible light that has a wavelength of 500 nm, has an energy of 2.48 eV.
We can calculate the energy (E) of a photon with a wavelength (λ) of 500 nm using the Planck's-Einstein relation.
[tex]E = \frac{h \times c}{\lambda } = \frac{(6.63 \times 10^{-34}J.s ) \times (3.00 \times 10^{8}m/s )}{500 \times 10^{-9}m } = 3.98 \times 10^{-19} J[/tex]
where,
h: Planck's constantc: speed of lightWe can convert 3.98 × 10⁻¹⁹ J to eV using the conversion factor 1 J = 6.24 × 10¹⁸ eV.
[tex]3.98 \times 10^{-19} J \times \frac{6.24 \times 10^{18} eV }{1J} = 2.48 eV[/tex]

Metal 1 has a larger work function than metal 2. Both are illuminated with the same short-wavelength ultraviolet light.
Do electrons from metal 1 have a higher speed, a lower speed, or the same speed as electrons from metal 2? Explain.
Answer:
a lower speed
Explanation:
Let us look closely at the Einstein's photoelectric equation;
KE= E-Wo
Where;
KE= kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron
E= energy of the incident photon
Wo= work function of the metal
Hence,where Wo for metal 1 > Wo for metal 2, it follows that KE for metal 1 must also be less than KE for metal 2.
This is because the difference between E and Wo for metal 1 is smaller than the same difference for metal 2 hence the answer.

A piano string having a mass per unit length equal to 4.80 ✕ 10−3 kg/m is under a tension of 1,300 N. Find the speed with which a wave travels on this string.
Answer:
Velocity of wave (V) = 5.2 × 10² m/s
Explanation:
Given:
Per unit length mass (U) = 4.80 × 10⁻³ kg/m
Tension (T)= 1,300 N
Find:
Velocity of wave (V)
Computation:
Velocity of wave (V) = √T / U
Velocity of wave (V) = √1300 / 4.80 × 10⁻³

Violet light of wavelength 400 nm ejects electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.860 eV from sodium metal. What is the binding energy of electrons to sodium metal?
Answer:
Binding Energy = 2.24 eV
Explanation:
First, we need to find the energy of the photon of light:
E = hc/λ
where,
E = Energy of Photon = ?
h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
λ = wavelength of light = 400 nm = 4 x 10⁻⁷ m
Therefore,
E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(4 x 10⁻⁷ m)
E = (4.97 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)(1 eV/1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)
E = 3.1 eV
Now, from Einstein's Photoelectric Equation:
E = Binding Energy + Kinetic Energy
Binding Energy = E - Kinetic Energy
Binding Energy = 3.1 eV - 0.86 eV
Binding Energy = 2.24 eV
The filament in the bulb is moving back and forth, first pushed one way and then the other. What does this imply about the current in the filament
Answer:
energy carried by the current is given by the pointyng vector
Explanation:
The current is defined by
i = dQ / dt
this is the number of charges per unit area over time.
The movement of the charge carriers (electrons) is governed by the applied potential difference, when the filament has a movement the drag speed of these moving electrons should change slightly.
But the energy carried by the current is given by the pointyng vector of the electromagnetic wave
S = 1 / μ₀ EX B
It moves at the speed of light and its speed depends on the properties of the doctor and is not disturbed by small changes in speed, therefore the current in the circuit does not change due to this movement
At what speed, as a fraction of c, will a moving rod have a length 65% that of an identical rod at rest
Answer:
v/c = 0.76
Explanation:
Formula for Length contraction is given by;
L = L_o(√(1 - (v²/c²))
Where;
L is the length of the object at a moving speed v
L_o is the length of the object at rest
v is the speed of the object
c is speed of light
Now, we are given; L = 65%L_o = 0.65L_o, since L_o is the length at rest.
Thus;
0.65L_o = L_o[√(1 - (v²/c²))]
Dividing both sides by L_o gives;
0.65 = √(1 - (v²/c²))
Squaring both sides, we have;
0.65² = (1 - (v²/c²))
v²/c² = 1 - 0.65²
v²/c² = 0.5775
Taking square root of both sides gives;
v/c = 0.76
A car is travelling west at 22.2 m/s when it accelerated for 0.80 s to the west at 2.68 m/s2. Calculate the car's final velocity. Show all your work.
Answer:
24.34 m/s
Explanation:
recall that one of the equations of motions takes the form:
v = u + at
where,
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity (given as 22.2 m/s)
a = acceleration (given as 2.68m/s²)
t = time elapsed during acceleration (given as 0.80s)
since we are told that the the acceleration is in the direction of the intial velocity, we can simply substitute the known values into the equation above:
v = u + at
v = 22.2 + (2.68) (0.8)
v = 24.34 m/s
what path would an object have to take to have the distance and the displacement to be equal
Answer:
When an object move in a straight line without moving back.
Explanation:
Distance is covered by an object is the magnitude of length from one position to the another. It is a scalar quantity.
While displacement is the distance covered in a specific direction. Displacement is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction.
If an object move in a straight path without going back, then, the magnitude of distance will be the same with the magnitude of displacement.
Both distance and displacement are measured in the same unit which is metres.
Therefore, an object have to take a straight path without going back to have the distance and the displacement equal.

The mass of the bullet is [tex]m = 17.0 \ g =0.017 \ kg[/tex]
The speed is [tex]v_1 = 785 \ m/s[/tex]
The mass of the water is [tex]m_w = 13.5 \ kg[/tex]
The velocity it emerged with is [tex]v_2 = 534 \ m/s[/tex]
Generally due to the fact that energy can nether be created nor destroyed but transferred from one form to another then
the change in kinetic energy of the bullet = the heat gained by the water
So
The change in kinetic energy of the water is
[tex]\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2} m (v_1^2 - v_2 ^2 )[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\Delta KE =0.5 * 0.017 * (( 785)^2 - (534) ^2 )[/tex]
[tex]\Delta KE = 2814.1 \ J[/tex]
Now the heat gained by the water is
[tex]Q = m_w* c_w * \Delta T[/tex]
Here [tex]c_w[/tex] is the specific heat of water which has a value [tex]c_w = 4190 J/kg \cdot K[/tex]
So since [tex]\Delta KE = Q[/tex]
we have that
[tex]2814.1 = 13.5 * 4190 * \Delta T[/tex]
[tex]\Delta T = 0.0497 \ ^oC[/tex]
The ancient Greek Eratosthenes found that the Sun casts different lengths of shadow at different points on Earth. There were no shadows at midday in Aswan as the Sun was directly overhead. 800 kilometers north, in Alexandria, shadow lengths were found to show the Sun at 7.2 degrees from overhead at midday. Use these measurements to calculate the radius of Earth.
Answer:
The radius of the earth is [tex]r = 6365.4 \ km[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The distance at Alexandria is [tex]d_a = 800 \ km = 800 *10^{3} \ m[/tex]
The angle of the sun is [tex]\theta = 7.2 ^o[/tex]
So we want to first obtain the circumference of the earth
So let assume that the earth is circular ([tex]360 ^o[/tex])
Now from question we know that the sun made an angle of [tex]7.2 ^o[/tex] so with this we will obtain how many [tex](7.2 ^o)[/tex] are in [tex]360^o[/tex]
i.e [tex]N = \frac{360}{7.2}[/tex]
=> [tex]N = 50[/tex]
With this value we can evaluate the circumference as
[tex]c = 50 * 800[/tex]
[tex]c = 40000 \ km[/tex]
Generally circumference is mathematically represented as
[tex]c = 2\pi r[/tex]
[tex]40000 = 2 * 3.142 * r[/tex]
=> [tex]r = 6365.4 \ km[/tex]
