Answer:

A laser is created when the electrons in atoms in special glasses, crystals, or gases absorb energy from an electrical current or another laser and become “excited.” The excited electrons move from a lower-energy orbit to a higher-energy orbit around the atom's nucleus.

Learning Goal: To be able to calculate work done by a constant force directed at different angles relative to displacement

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Woke done, W = 4156.92 Joules

Explanation:

The work done by the force can be calculated as :

$W=F\times s$

$W=Fs\ cos\theta$

$\theta$ is the angle between force and the displacement

It is assumed to find the work done for the given parameters i.e.

Force, F = 30 N

Distance travelled, s = 160 m

Angle between force and displacement, $\theta=30$

Work done is given by :

$W=Fs\ cos\theta$

$W=30\times 160\ cos(30)$

W = 4156.92 Joules

So, the work done by the object is 4156.92 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

Electrons are accelerated in the picture tube of a television through potential difference of 8.00 * 10 ^ 3 V. (Use the values q

maria [59]

Answer:

$\lambda=1.37\times 10^{-11}\ m$

Explanation:

Give that,

The potential difference of the electrons, $V=8\times 10^{3}\ V$

We need to find the wavelength of the electrons.

Using the conservation of energy,

$2meV=\dfrac{h^2}{\lambda^2}\\\\\lambda=\sqrt{\dfrac{h^2}{2meV}}$

Put all the values,

$\lambda=\sqrt{\dfrac{(6.63\times 10^{-34})^2}{2\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 8\times 10^3}}\\\\\lambda=1.37\times 10^{-11}\ m$

So, the wavelength of the electrons is $1.37\times 10^{-11}\ m$ .

Find the volume of a sphere of radius 10 mm.

vredina [299]

Answer:

Explanation: This is done using the equation:

$\frac{4}{3} π R^{3}$

Because the Radius is a know value. We have the following.

$\frac{4}{3} π (10mm)^{3}$

Which is:

4188.7902 mm

A sample of gas has a volume of 215 cm3 at 23.5 °c and 84.6 kpa. what volume (cm3 will the gas occupy at stp

Dafna11 [192]

The answer is 165.3 cm³.

P1 * V1 / T1 = P2 * V2 / T2

The initial sample:
P1 = 84.6 kPa
V1 = 215 cm³
T1 = 23.5°C = 23.5 + 273 K = 296.5 K

At STP:
P2 = 101.3 kPa
V2 = ?
T2 = 273 K

Therefore:
84.6 * 215 / 296.5 = 101.3 * V2 / 273
61.34 = 101.3 * V2 / 273
V2 = 61.34 * 273 / 101.3
V2 = 165.3 cm³
