Answer:

1 cm⁻¹ =1.44K  1 ev = 1.16 10⁴ K

Explanation:

The relationship between temperature and thermal energy is

     E = K T

The relationship of the speed of light

    c =λ f = f / ν          1/λ= ν

The Planck equation is

          E = h f

Let's start the transformations

     c = f λ = f / ν        

     f = c ν

     E = h f

     E = h c ν

     E = KT

     h c ν = K T

     T = h c ν  / K =( h c / K) ν

Let's replace the constants

     h = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ J s

     c = 3 10⁸ m / s

     K = 1.38  10⁻²³ J / K

 

     v = 1 cm-1 (100 cm / 1 m) = 10² m-1

   

     T = (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3. 10⁸ / 1.38 10⁻²³) 1 10²

     A = h c / K = 1,441 10⁻²

     T =  1.44K

     ν = 103 cm⁻¹ = 103 10² m

     T = (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3. 10⁸ / 1.38 10⁻²³) 103 10²

     T = 148K

1 Rydberg = 1.097 10 7 m

As we saw at the beginning the λ=1 / v

     T = (h c / K) 1 /λ

     T = 1,441 10⁻²  1 / 1,097 10⁷

     T = 1.3 10⁻⁹ K

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

    E = KT

    T = E/K

    T = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ /1.38 10⁻²³

    T = 1.16 10⁴ K

In nuclear reaction 5 kg of reactants give 2kg of products

Choice A is correct.======Kinetic energy equation:   KE = (1/2)(m)(v²)This tells us that KE is directly proportional to mass and the square of velocity. In other words, the more mass and more velocity an object has, the more kinetic energy.If an object is sitting at the top of a ramp, there is no velocity and therefore no kinetic energy.    Choices B and D are wrong.A golf ball has more mass than a ping-pong ball, so a ping-pong ball would have less kinetic energy than a golf ball rolling off the end of a ramp.    Choice C is wrong.Choice A is correct.

Workers do 8000 J of work on a 2000-N crate to push it up a ramp. If the ramp is 2 m high, what is the efficiency of the ramp?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Efficiency = work out / work in

e = Fd / W

e = (2000 N) (2 m) / (8000 J)

e = 0.5

The specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2440J/kg °C. How many joules of energy will be required to heat 150g ethanol to 35°C if
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Required energy = 4758 J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of a material is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram (kg) of that material through one degree Celsius (°C).    

Given data :

Specific heat capacity = c = 2440 J/kg.°C

Mass = m = 150 g = 0.15 kg

Initial temperature = 22°C

Final temperature = 35°C

Change in Temperature = ΔT = 13°C

Energy = E = ?

Using the following formula and substituting the values, we get:

E = m × c × ΔT

E = 0.15 × 2440 × 13

E = 4758 J
