As the temperature rises the solubility of all gases in water will _________
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Decreases.

Explanation:

The rise in temperature of gas increases the kinetic energy of its molecules and they rush out of water instead of dissolving similarly as air rushes out of boiling water in form of bubbles

A metal rod A and a metal sphere B, on insulating stands, touch each other. They are originally neutral. A positively charged ro
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The sphere is positively charged

Explanation:

This is because when the positively charged rod is brought near the metal rod A, the electrons in metal rod A and sphere B are attracted towards it into metal rod A while the positive charges in the are repelled into sphere B. So, when the charged rod is withdrawn, and metal rod A and sphere B are separated, metal rod A is now negatively charged, but sphere B is positively charged.

So, sphere B is positively charged.

A campus bird spots a member of an opposing football team in an amusement park. The football player is on a ride where he goes a
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

No..

Explanation:

As the bird releases the drop there is no internal force which will drive it into circular path but it will fall on tangent of the arc at the point of release because it has a tangential velocity same as bird. Path will be parabola in vertical plane.

As the person is on circular arc constantly moving it will never meet that drop.

Find the kinetic energy of an electron whose de broglie wavelength is 34.0 nm.
dezoksy [38]
The De Broglie wavelength of the electron is
\lambda=34.0 nm=34 \cdot 10^{-9} m
And we can use De Broglie's relationship to find its momentum:
p= \frac{h}{\lambda}= \frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{34 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kg m/s

Given p=mv, with m being the electron mass and v its velocity, we can find the electron's velocity:
v= \frac{p}{m}= \frac{1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kgm/s}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg}=  2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s

This velocity is quite small compared to the speed of light, so the electron is non-relativistic and we can find its kinetic energy by using the non-relativistic formula:
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s)^2=2.06 \cdot 10^{-22} J

How much work is done on a satellite in a circular orbit about earth?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

W = Work done on the satellite in circular orbit about earth by earth

F = Force on gravity on satellite by earth

d = displacement of the satellite

\theta = Angle between the force on gravity and displacement = 90

We know that, Work done is given as

W = F d Cos\theta\\W = F d Cos90\\W = F d (0)\\W = 0 J
