Answer:

1. 571.43m/s

2. 142.9m and 342.9m

Explanation:

1.Take the difference in time.

1.2-0.7=0.7 seconds

Take the distance between them and divide with differnce in time.

400÷0.7=571.43 seconds.

2.Take the time of the two men and divide by two.

0.5÷2= 0.25 secs

1.2÷2= 0.6 secs

multiply each with the velocity.

0.25×571.43=142.9m

0.6×571.43=342.9m

Calculate the radius of the orbit of a proton moving at 2.2x10^6 m/s in a magnetic field 0.7 T where v and B are perpendicular.
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

3.28 cm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to know that a magnetic field B perpendicular to the movement of a proton that moves at a velocity v will cause a Force F experimented by the particle that is orthogonal to both the velocity and the magnetic Field. When a particle experiments a Force orthogonal to its velocity, the path it will follow will be circular. The radius of said circle can be calculated using the expression:

r = \frac{mv}{qB}

Where m is the mass of the particle, v is its velocity, q is its charge and B is the magnitude of the magnetic field.

The mass and  charge of a proton are:

m = 1.67 * 10^-27 kg

q = 1.6 * 10^-19 C

So, we get that the radius r will be:

r =  \frac{1.67 * 10^-27 kg * 2.2*10^6 m/s}{1.6 * 10^-19 C* 0.7 T} = 0.0328 m, or 3.28  cm.

Jenny is studying a compound that has two oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom. Which statement describes the subscripts she will
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

She will use one 2 as a subscript.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is a chemical element with the symbol "N" and has an atomic number of 7. Thus, it is found in group (5) of the periodic table and as such it has 5 electrons in its outermost shell. Therefore, nitrogen has two (5) valence electrons.

On the other hand, oxygen has an atomic number of 8 and with the symbol "O."

When nitrogen and oxygen react chemically, they produce a compound known as nitrogen dioxide NO_{2}

In this scenario, Jenny is studying a compound that has two oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom. Therefore, the statement which describes the subscripts she will use to write the chemical formula is, she will use one 2 as a subscript.

N + O_{2} ------>  NO_{2}

Where: 2 represents the subscript of oxygen.

This chart lists four examples of two objects that are in contact.
Oxana [17]

Before coming into conclusion first we have to understand the direction of heat flow.

Heat is the transferred thermal energy from one body to another body due to the temperature difference just like water flows from higher level to lower level.

Whenever two bodies having different temperature come closer to each other heat will flow from hotter body to cooler one if no external work is done. The heat flow may be through any of the ways i.e conduction,radiation or convection. Hence temperature difference is the parameter which gives the direction of heat flow.

The temperature is also considered as a measure of average kinetic energy of the substance.The thermal energy does not give the direction heat flow. Heat may  flow from the body  having low thermal energy but at higher temperature to the body having higher thermal energy but at low temperature. The reverse does not happen naturally .

In example 1 there is fire and air. Obviously fire is at high temperature and air at low temperature.So heat will flow from object 1 to object 2.

In example 2 there is a metal at 80 degree Celsius and another metal at 12 degree Celsius .So heat will flow from object 1 to object 2

In example 3 we have cooler ocean and warm air. So the heat will flow from object 2 to object 1.

In example 4 we have a tool with high thermal energy and a material with little thermal energy.We already know that thermal energy can not determine the direction of heat flow. Here the temperature of each substance is not given.The kinetic energy is  part of thermal energy.So there is the chance of higher kinetic energy of the tool for having higher thermal energy .At that time the heat will flow object 1 to object 2.Otherwise the reverse will occur. So it is a special case.

As per the question only option 4 is correct which tells that heat will flow from object 1 to object 2 in examples 1,2,4, and heat will flow from object 2 to 1 in example 3. Other options violate the fundamental law of thermodynamics.
