$\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {EXPLANATION}}}}$

The heat capacity is given by the expression:

$\longrightarrow \sf{\triangle Q= m \triangle C \triangle T}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{Q= \: Heat}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{M= \: Mass}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{C= \: Specific \: Heat}$

$\longrightarrow \sf{T= \: Temperature}$

$\huge\underline{\underline{\boxed{\mathbb {ANSWER:}}}}$

$\leadsto$ When the $\bm{heat}$ is measured in the calorimeter, we obtain a value, and since we know the mass of the material and we control the change in $\bm{temperature}$ , we can then determine the specific heat "C" by simply remplazing in the expression.

When performing an.experiment similar to Millikan's oil drop, a student measured the following load magnitudes: 3.26x10 ^-19 C 5

Scilla [17]

Answer:

1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Explanation:

Let us arrange the charges in the ascending order and round them off as follows :-

1.53 x 10⁻¹⁹ C → 1.6x 10⁻¹⁹ C

3.26 x 10⁻¹⁹C → 3.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

4.66 x 10⁻¹⁹C → 4.8 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

5.09 x 10⁻¹⁹C → 4.8 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

6.39 x 10⁻¹⁹C → 6.4 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

The rounding off has been made to facilitate easy calculation to come to a conclusion and to accommodate error in measurement.

Here we observe that

2 nd charge is almost twice the first charge

3 rd and 4 th charges are almost 3 times the first charge

5 th charge is almost 4 times the first charge.

This result implies that 2 nd to 5 th charges are made by combination of the first charge ie if we take e as first charge , 2nd to 5 th charges can be written as 2e, 3e ,3e and 4e. Hence e is the minimum charge existing in nature and on electron this minimum charge of 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C exists.

A child has an ear canal that is 1.3 cm long. Assume the speed of sound is v = 344 m/s.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

The frequencies are $(f, f_1) = (6615.4 \ Hz , 19846.2\ Hz)$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the ear canal is $l = 1.3 \ cm =\frac{1.3}{100} = 0.013 \ m$

The speed of sound is assumed to be $v_s = 344 \ m/s$

Now taking look at a typical ear canal we see that we assume it is a closed pipe

Now the fundamental harmonics for the pipe(ear canal) is mathematically represented as

$f = \frac{v_s}{4 * l }$

substituting values

$f = \frac{344}{4 * 0.013 }$

$f = 6615.4 \ Hz$

Also the the second harmonic for the pipe (ear canal) is mathematically represented as

$f_1 = \frac{3v_s}{4 * l}$

substituting values

$f_1 = \frac{3 * 344}{4 * 0.013}$

$f_1 = 19846.2 \ Hz$

Given that sound would be loudest in the pipe at the frequency, it implies that the child will have an increased audible sensitivity at this frequencies

A distant large asteroid is detected that might pose a threat to Earth. If it were to continue moving in a straight line at cons

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.

Explanation:

To escape earth, the kinetic energy of the asteroid must be greater or equal to its gravitational potential energy:

$K.E\geq P.E$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 \geq G\dfrac{Mm}{R}$

where $m$ is the mass of the asteroid, $R= 24,000,000\:m$ is its distance form earth's center, $M = 5.9*10^{24}kg$ is the mass of the earth, and $G = 6.7*10^{-11}m^3/kg\: s^2$ is the gravitational constant.
