The way to perform the experiment is illustrated below.

<h3>How to perform the experiment?</h3>

Place each straw tightly without deforming the roundness of the straw into the corner of the set square.

Measure the distance from the corner of the set square to where the straw touches the set square using the 30 cm ruler. This will be the radius of each straw.

Multiply this radius by 2 in order to obtain the diameter of each straw.

Sum the diameter of each of the 10 straws.

Divide this sum by 10 to obtain the average value for the diameter of a straw.

Salma is riding her bicycle. She rides 25.6 kilometers in 4 hours. What is her speed?
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

6.4 kilometers per hour

Explanation:

Just do the amount of distance she covers divided by how many hours she rides to get the answer. In this case, its 25.6 divided by 4 which equals 6.4

An electric car has a battery that can hold 16 kwh of energy. if the battery is designed to operate at 340 v, how many coulombs
Zanzabum

charge needed= 169412 C

Explanation:

energy stored in the battery= 16 KWh= 16 (1000 W)(3600 s)= 5.76 x 10⁷ J

Energy stored is given by U= q V

q= charge

V= voltage= 340 V

so 5.76 x 10⁷ = q (340)

q= 169412 C

A star emits electromagnetic radiation which closely resembles the spectrum of a blackbody. The three star system named Albireo
aksik [14]

Answer:

A = 13000K has a maximum at lam = 1,9984 10⁻⁷ m = 199.84 nm , this star is visually separated from the other two by its constant emission spectrum and is not affected by the other two.

we have a fluctuation of the intensity emitted by the stars.   Consequently by this fluctuation the amateur astronomer can conclude that this system is made up of two stars.

Explanation:

The radiation of a black body is characterized by its temperature, with Wien's law of displacement we can find the maximum wavelength emitted by each star.

                  λ T = 2,898 10⁻³

therefore the emission the star of A = 13000K has a maximum at lam = 1,9984 10⁻⁷ m = 199.84 nm

The emission of the premiere is in the ultraviolet light range, as this star is visually separated from the other two by its constant emission spectrum and is not affected by the other two.

The burst with A = 4300K ​​has a bad emission maximum = 6.7395 10⁻⁷ m = 673.95 nm, which corresponds to an emission in the visible in the orange range, giving a blackbody spectrum of this range, but since the emission is formed by two stars, we see that when the two are placed one in front of the other the intensity of the emission must increase significantly and when they are placed next to each other the intensity reaches its minimum, consequently we have a fluctuation of the intensity emitted by the stars.

Consequently by this fluctuation the amateur astronomer can conclude that this system is made up of two stars.

Suppose 8.41 moles of a monatomic ideal gas expand adiabatically, and its temperature decreases from 395 to 279 K. Determine (a)
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

a) W=12166.20876 J

b) U= -12166.20876 J

Explanation:

No. of moles, n = 8.41

Change of temperature, ΔT = T1 - T2

                                         = 395 - 279

                                         = 116 K

For monatomic gas, γ = 5/3

γ -1 = 2 /3

Solution:

(a)

Work done,W= \frac{nR}{\gamma-1}(T_1-T_2)

plugging values we get

W= \frac{8.314\times8.41}{2/3}(116)

Ans:   12166.20876 J

Work done, W = + 12166.20876 J

(b)

From first law of thermodynamics, dQ = U + W

but, dQ = 0 ( adiabatic process)

Hence, U = - W

                 = - 12166.20876 J

Ans:

Change in internal energy, U = - 12166.20876 J

A car that is standing still accelerates up a hill with a slope of 6.4% at an average acceleration of 2.93 ft/s^2. The hill is 1
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

213 s

Explanation:

Slope is the ratio of change in vertical distance to change in horizontal distance.

Slope = vertical height / horizontal height

Therefore:

6.4% = vertical height / 12.42

vertical height = 6.4% * 12.42

vertical height = 0.8 miles

The distance travelled by the car (s) is:

s² = 0.8² + 12.42²

s² = 154.9

s = 12.45 miles

Acceleration (a) =  2.93 ft/s^2 = 0.00055 mile/s²

initial velocity (u) = 0, final velocity = 203 mph

Using:

s = ut + 0.5at²

12.45 = 0.5(0.00055)t²

t =213 s
