Nothing happens to the mirror. 

However, if the ray is within some suitable range of
wavelengths, the ray is reflected from the mirror's surface.

What is the current when a typical static charge of 0.234~\mu\text{c}0.234 μc moves from your finger to a metal doorknob in 0.59
Black_prince [1.1K]
The current is defined as the quantity of charge Q that passes through a certain location in a time \Delta t:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
Using the data of the problem, we find:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{0.234 \mu C}{0.595 \mu s}=\frac{0.234\cdot 10^{-6} C}{0.595 \cdot 10^{-6} s}=0.39 A

PLEASE HELP
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

a_{x}=0 v_{xo}= v_{o}cos(delta)t a_{y}=-g v_{yo}=sinθ

X-direction                                     | Y-direction

x=x_o+v_{xo}t ⇒ x=v_{xo}cos(delta)t |

1.Explain frame of reference. How is it different when you are riding inside a car or standing by the highway?
galben [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A frame of reference simply refers to a set of coordinates which is used to determine the position and velocity of objects all the objects found in that particular frame. The person inside the car and standing by the highway are in different frames of reference.

Newtons first law of motion states that an object will continue to be at rest or in a state of uniform velocity until it is acted upon by an external force.

Newtons second law states that rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the impressed force.

Newtons third law states that action and reaction are equal and opposite.

The action of applying brakes leads to an equal reaction of a sudden forward movement. Seat belts help to prevent the occupants of a car from being injured by the sudden stoppage of the car.

Force is simply defined as a push or pull.

Balanced forces do not lead to acceleration of a body but an unbalanced for leads to acceleration of a body.

strong nuclear force, electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force and gravity

Power is the rate of doing work while week is said to be done when the force applied moves a distance in the direction of the force. Power is defined as work/time.

Mike stands on a scale in an elevator. If the elevator is accelerating upwards with 4.9 m/s2, the scale reading is ____ times Mi
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

F - M a      force exerted by scales on student

M a = M (9.8 + 4.9) m/s^2      upwards chosen as positive

a = 1.5 g        net acceleration of student  due to force of scales

W =M g       weight of student   (actual weight)

Wapp = M 1.5 * g      apparent weight (on scales) of student

Calculate the separation between the two lowest levels for an O2 molecule in a one-dimensional container of length 5.0 cm. At wh
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The separation between the two lowest levels =  1.24 * 10^{-39}J

The values of n where the energy of molecule reaches 1/2 kT at 300K = 2.2 * 10^{9}

The separation at this level = 1.8 * 10^{-30}J

Explanation:

Knowing the formula

En = \frac{n^{2} h^{2}  }{8 mL^{2} }

Mass of oxygen molecule

m (O2) = 32 amu * \frac{1.6605 * 10^{-27 kg} }{1 amu}

So the energy diference between the two lowest levels:

E2 - E1 = \frac{3h^{2} }{8mL^{2} }

E2 - E1 =  \frac{3 * (6.626 * 10^{-34} Js)^{2} } {8 * 32 amu * (\frac{1.6605 * 10^{-27 kg} }{1 amu})* (5*10^{-2})^{2}   } = 1.24 * 10^{-39}J

Now we should find n where the energy of molecule reaches 1/2 kT

En = \frac{n^{2} h^{2}  }{8 mL^{2} } = \frac{1}{2}kT

\frac{h^{2}  }{8 mL^{2} } = 4.13 * 10^{-14}J

n^{2} *  (4.13 * 10^{-14}J) = \frac{1}{2} (1.38 * 10^{-23}JK^{-1}) * 300K

n = 2.2 * 10^{9}

by the end is necessary to calculate the separation of the level

En - En-1 = (n^{2} - (n - 1)^{2}) * \frac{h^{2}  }{8 mL^{2} }

              = 1.8 * 10^{-30}J
