what is the mass of vertical column of air that exerts pressure of 1 atm over a10m by 10m square surface
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

m=1.01\times 10^6\ kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure, P = 1 atm = 101325 Pa

Area of the square surface, A = 10² = 100 m²

We need to find the mass of vertical column of air. We know that, pressure is equal to the force acting per unit area. So,

P=\dfrac{mg}{A}\\\\m=\dfrac{PA}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{101325\times 10^2}{10}\\\\m=1.01\times 10^6\ kg

So, the required mass of the vertical column of air is 1.01\times 10^6\ kg.

Find the rms speed of the molecules of a sample of n2 (diatomic nitrogen) gas at a temperature of 31.5°c.
Artemon [7]
The rms speed can be calculated using the following rule:
rms = sqrt ((3RT) / (M)) where:
R is the gas constant =  8.314 J/mol-K
T is the temperature = 31.5 + 273 = 304.5 degrees kelvin
M is the molar mass = 2*14 = 28 grams = 0.028 kg

Substitute with the givens to get the rms speed as follows:
rms speed = sqrt [(3*8.314*304.5) / (0.028)] = 520.811 m/sec

In young’s double slit experiment, the measured fringe width is 0.5 mm for a Sodium light of 589 nm at a distance of 1.5 m. A br
Levart [38]

Answer:

(A).  The order of the bright fringe is 6.

(B). The width of the bright fringe is 3.33 μm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Fringe width d = 0.5 mm

Wavelength = 589 nm

Distance of screen and slit D = 1.5 m

Distance of bright fringe y = 1 cm

(A) We need to calculate the order of the bright fringe

Using formula of wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{dy}{mD}

m=\dfrac{d y}{\lambda D}

Put the value into the formula

m=\dfrac{1\times10^{-2}\times0.5\times10^{-3}}{589\times10^{-9}\times1.5}

m=5.65 = 6

(B). We need to calculate the width of the bright fringe

Using formula of width of fringe

\beta=\dfrac{yd}{D}

Put the value in to the formula

\beta=\dfrac{1\times10^{-2}\times0.5\times10^{-3}}{1.5}

\beta=3.33\times10^{-6}\ m

\beta=3.33\ \mu m

Hence, (A).  The order of the bright fringe is 6.

(B). The width of the bright fringe is 3.33 μm.

Problem 1: Spherical mirrorConsider a spherical mirror of radius 2 m, and rays which go parallel to the optic axis. What is thep
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

1) iii i= 1m, 2)  iii and iv, 3)  i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

Explanation:

Problem 1

For this problem we use two equations the equations of the focal distance in mirrors

              f = r / 2

              f = 2/2

             f = 1 m

The builder's equation

           1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

Where f is the focal length, "o and i" are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

For a ray to arrive parallel to the surface it must come from infinity, whereby o = ∞ and 1 / o = 0

              1 / f = 0 + 1 / i

              i = f

              i = 1 m

The image is formed at the focal point

The correct answer is iii

Problem 2

For this problem we have two possibilities the lens is convergent or divergent, in both cases the back face (R₂) must be flat

Case 1 Flat lens - convex (convergent)

              R₂ = infinity

              R₁ > 0

Cas2 Flat-concave (divergent) lens

             R₂ = infinity

              R₁ <0

Why the correct answers are iii and iv

Problem 3

For a thick lens the rays parallel to the first surface fall in their focal length (f₁), this is the exit point for the second surface whereby the distance to the object is o = L –f₁, let's apply the constructor equation to this second surface

          1 / f₂ = 1 / (L-f₁) + 1 / i

          1 / i = 1 / f₂ - 1 / (L-f₁)

           1 / i = (L-f₁-f₂) / f₂ (L-f₁)

           i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

This is the image of the rays that enter parallel to the first surface
