Answer:

C. You will experience the same amount of force on all sides.

Explanation:

This is because the only force acting on your hand as a result of the wooden block is gravitational force because no external pressure is exerted on the block.

Gravitational force is a product of mass and acceleration. It has nothing to do with the surface area of the object.

Hence, regardless of the surface of the wooden block resting on your palm, the force remains the same.

C. You will experience the same amount of force on all sides.

The normal force of weight will not differ for different positions of the block.

But the force of pressure applied to the surface of your hand is per unit area. So the side with the smallest area (3 cm x 6 cm) will exert more pressure over a smaller area.

At which temperature does the motion of atoms and molecules stop?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

0 Kelvin

Explanation:

Atoms in absolute temperature get approximatelly motionless since 0 Kelvin is -273 degrees Celcius. The kinetic energy of atoms/particles in matter has the possible lowest value ( almost zero), so that there is nothing colder than 0 Kelvin.

The minimum frequency of light needed to eject electrons from a metal is called the threshold frequency, ν0. find the minimum en
shusha [124]
The energy carried by the incident light is
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant and f is the frequency of the light. The threshold frequency is the frequency that corresponds to the minimum energy needed to eject the electrons from the metal, so if we substitute the threshold frequency in the formula, we get the minimum energy the light must have to eject the electrons:
E=hf=(6.63 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(5.64 \cdot 10^{14}s^{-1})=3.74 \cdot 10^{-19}J

Los ácidos nucleicos y las proteínas comprenden una red de biomacromoléculas que almacenan y transmiten información que sustenta la vida de la célula. El estudio de estos mecanismos es un campo llamado biología molecular. El desarrollo de esta ciencia siempre ha ido acompañado de avances técnicos que permiten romper barreras metodológicas para probar hipótesis novedosas. Entre los métodos disponibles para los biólogos moleculares, destacan cinco: electroforesis, secuenciación, clonación, transferencia y reacción en cadena de la polimerasa. Su impacto llega a la genética, la medicina y la biotecnología. Aquí, se revisan la relevancia histórica, los fundamentos técnicos y las tendencias actuales de estos cinco métodos esenciales. La revisión pretende ser útil tanto para estudiantes como para científicos profesionales que buscan adquirir conocimientos avanzados sobre el valor de estos métodos para investigar los mecanismos moleculares que sostienen la vida.

A typical nuclear fission power plant produces about 1.00 GW of electrical power. Assume the plant has an overall efficiency of
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

mass consumed by 235U each day = 2 kg

Explanation:

electrical power produced = 1 GW = 1 × 10⁹ × (6.24151 × 10¹⁸ ) eV

                                            = 6.24151× 10²¹ MeV/s

thermal energy =  0.420 * 250 = 105 MeV

\dfrac{1 GW}{150 MeV}= \dfrac{6.24151\times 10^{21}}{105}

                                      = 5.94 × 10¹⁹ fission/second

                                       =5.94 × 10¹⁹× 24 × 60 ×60)

                                      =  5.13 × 10²⁴ fission/day

mu = 235.04393 ×  1.660× 10 ⁻²⁷ = 390.1729× 10⁻²⁷ Kg

M = mu ×5.13 × 10²⁴

   = 390.1729× 10⁻²⁷ ×5.13 × 10²⁴

M   =  2 kg(approx.)

mass consumed by 235U each day = 2 kg
