Serga [27]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1.The calorie was originally defined as the amount of heat required at a pressure of 1 standard atmosphere to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1° Celsius. Since 1925 this calorie has been defined in terms of the joule, the definition since 1948 being that one calorie is equal to approximately 4.2 joules.

2.Boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius: 540 calories are needed to turn 1 gram (at 100 degrees Celsius) of water to steam.

Violet light of wavelength 400 nm ejects electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.860 eV from sodium metal. What is the bind
Travka [436]

Answer:

Binding Energy = 2.24 eV

Explanation:

First, we need to find the energy of the photon of light:

E = hc/λ

where,

E = Energy of Photon = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of light = 400 nm = 4 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(4 x 10⁻⁷ m)

E = (4.97 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)(1 eV/1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

E = 3.1 eV

Now, from Einstein's Photoelectric Equation:

E = Binding Energy + Kinetic Energy

Binding Energy = E - Kinetic Energy

Binding Energy = 3.1 eV - 0.86 eV

<u>Binding Energy = 2.24 eV</u>

How do power plants generate electricity?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

electrons are a waste product of bacteria living around plant roots – plants discharge organic matter into the soil, which is broken down by bacteria. It is possible to harvest them using motonless electrodes and turn them into electricity, without affecting the plant’s growth in any way.

Draw a schematic diagram of a circuit consisting of a battery of five 2 V cells, a 5 ohm resistor, a 10 ohm resistor, a 15 ohm r
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

  • Current = 0.33 A

Explanation:

  • For diagram refer the attachment.

It is given that five cells of 2V are connected in series, so total voltage of the battery:

\dashrightarrow \: \:  \sf V = 2 \times 5 = 10 V

Three resistor of 5\Omega, 10\Omega, 15\Omega are connected in Series, so the net resistance:

\dashrightarrow \: \: \sf R_{n} = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3}

\dashrightarrow \: \:  \sf R = 5 + 10 + 15

{ \pink{\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: { \underbrace{R = 30 \:  \Omega}}}}

According to ohm's law:

\dashrightarrow  \sf\: \: V = IR

\dashrightarrow  \sf \: \: I = \dfrac{V}{R}

On substituting resultant voltage (V) as 10 V and resultant resistant, as 30 {\pmb{\sf{\Omega}}} we get:

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: I = \dfrac{10V}{30\Omega}

{ \pink{\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: { \underbrace{I = 0.33 A}}}}

\thereforeThe electric current passing through the above circuit when the key is closed will be <u>0.33 A</u>
