Answers:

(a) 0.0073kg

(b) Volume gold: 3.79(10)^{-7}m^{3}, Volume cupper: 7.6(10)^{-8}m^{3}

(c) 17633.554kg/m^{3}

Explanation:

<h2>(a) Mass of gold </h2><h2 />

We are told the total mass M of the coin, which is an alloy  of gold and copper is:

M=m_{gold}+m_{copper}=7.988g=0.007988kg   (1)

Where  m_{gold} is the mass of gold and m_{copper} is the mass of copper.

In addition we know it is a 22-karat gold and the relation between the number of karats K and mass is:

K=24\frac{m_{gold}}{M}   (2)

Finding {m_{gold}:

m_{gold}=\frac{22}{24}M   (3)

m_{gold}=\frac{22}{24}(0.007988kg)   (4)

m_{gold}=0.0073kg   (5)  This is the mass of gold in the coin

<h2>(b) Volume of gold and cupper</h2><h2 />

The density \rho of an object is given by:

\rho=\frac{mass}{volume}

If we want to find the volume, this expression changes to: volume=\frac{mass}{\rho}

For gold, its volume V_{gold} will be a relation between its mass m_{gold}  (found in (5)) and its density \rho_{gold}=19.30g/cm^{3}=19300kg/m^{3}:

V_{gold}=\frac{m_{gold}}{\rho_{gold}}   (6)

V_{gold}=\frac{0.0073kg}{19300kg/m^{3}}   (7)

V_{gold}=3.79(10)^{-7}m^{3}   (8)  Volume of gold in the coin

For copper, its volume V_{copper} will be a relation between its mass m_{copper}  and its density \rho_{copper}=8.96g/cm^{3}=8960kg/m^{3}:

V_{copper}=\frac{m_{copper}}{\rho_{copper}}   (9)

The mass of copper can be found by isolating m_{copper} from (1):

M=m_{gold}+m_{copper}  

m_{copper}=M-m_{gold}  (10)

Knowing the mass of gold found in (5):

m_{copper}=0.007988kg-0.0073kg=0.000688kg  (11)

Now we can find the volume of copper:

V_{copper}=\frac{0.000688kg}{8960kg/m^{3}}   (12)

V_{copper}=7.6(10)^{-8}m^{3}   (13)  Volume of copper in the coin

<h2>(c) Density of the sovereign coin</h2><h2 />

Remembering density is a relation between mass and volume, in the case of the coin the density \rho_{coin will be a relation between its total mass M and its total volume V:

\rho_{coin}=\frac{M}{V} (14)

Knowing the total volume of the coin is:

V=V_{gold}+V_{copper}=3.79(10)^{-7}m^{3}+7.6(10)^{-8}m^{3}=4.53(10)^{-7}m^{3} (15)

\rho_{coin}=\frac{0.007988kg}{4.53(10)^{-7}m^{3}} (16)

Finally:

\rho_{coin}=17633.554kg/m^{3}} (17)  This is the total density of the British sovereign coin

A python can detect thermal radiation from objects that differ in temperature from their environment as long as the received int
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

10.52 m

Explanation:

The power radiated by a body is given by

P = σεAT⁴ where ε = emissivity = 0.97, T = temperature = 30 C + 273 = 303 K, A = surface area of human body = 1.8 m², σ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁴ W/m²K⁴

P = σεAT⁴ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴ ×  0.97 × 1.8 m² × (303)⁴ = 834.45 W

This is the power radiated by the human body.

The intensity I = P/A where A = 4πr² where r = distance from human body.

I = P/4πr²

r = (√P/πI)/2

If the python is able to detect an intensity of 0.60 W/m², with a power of 834.45 W emitted by the human body, the maximum distance r, is thus

r = (√P/πI)/2 = (√834.45/0.60π)/2 = 21.04/2 = 10.52 m

So, the maximum distance at which a python could detect your presence is 10.52 m.

PIT_PIT [208]

<span>You should deflect the ball in order to maximize your speed on the skateboard.

Since this creates a larger impulse, you want to deflect the ball. Splitting it up into catching and throwing the ball may by something you can think of deflecting the ball. First, you need to catch the ball, which in turn would push you forward with some speed. (The speed we are talking about should obviously be equal to option A, where you catch the ball). Now, throw the ball back to him since these two processes are equal to deflecting the ball. Throwing a mass away from you would cause or enable you to move even fast.</span>

Show that the entire Paschen series is in the infrared part of the spectrum. To do this, you only need to calculate the shortest
mr_godi [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the shortest wavelength in the series is shown below:-

\frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )

Where

\lambda represents wavelength

R represents Rydberg's constant

n_f represents Final energy states

and n_i represents initial energy states

Now Substitute is

1.097\times 10^7\ m^{-1}\ for\ R, \infty for\ n_i,\ 3 for\ n_i,\\\\\ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )

now we will put the values into the above formula

= 1.097\times 10^7 m^{-1}(\frac{1}{3^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} )\\\\ = 1.097\times10^7\ m^{-1} (\frac{1}{9} )

= 1218888.889 m^{-1}

Now we will rewrite the answer in the term of \lambda

\lambda = \frac{1}{1218888.889} m\\\\ = 0.82\times 10^{-6} m

So, the whole Paschen series is in the part of the spectrum.
