Answer:

2.63 %.

Explanation:

Given that,

The calculated value of the specific heat of water is 4.29 J/g.C

Original value of  specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g.C.

We need to find the student's percent error. The percentage error in any quantity is given by :

P=\dfrac{|\text{original value-calculated value}|}{\text{original value}}\times 100\\\\P=\dfrac{4.29-4.18}{4.18}\times 100\\\\P=2.63\%

So, the student's percent error is 2.63 %.

A large fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun is absorbed by the atmosphere. The main UV absorber in ou
elena55 [62]

Answer:

3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m or 0.32 μm.

Explanation:

Given:

The radiations are UV radiation.

The frequency of the radiations absorbed (f) = 9.38\times 10^{14}\ Hz

The wavelength of the radiations absorbed (λ) = ?

We know that, the speed of ultraviolet radiations is same as speed of light.

So, speed of UV radiation (v) = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Now, we also know that, the speed of the electromagnetic radiation is related to its frequency and wavelength and is given as:

v=f\lambda

Now, expressing the above equation in terms of wavelength 'λ', we have:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'λ'. This gives,

\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{9.38\times 10^{14}\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-7}\times 10^{6}\ \mu m\ [1\ m=10^6\ \mu m]\\\\\lambda=3.2\times 10^{-1}=0.32\ \mu m

Therefore, the wavelength of the radiations absorbed by the ozone is nearly 3.2\times 10^{-7}\ m or 0.32 μm.

A 3kg horizontal disk of radius 0.2m rotates about its center with an angular velocity of 50rad/s. The edge of the horizontal di
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

From the information given:

The angular speed for the block \omega = 50 \ rad/s

Disk radius (r) = 0.2 m

The block Initial velocity is:

v = r \omega \\ \\  v = (0.2  \times 50) \\ \\  v= 10 \ m/s

Change in the block's angular speed is:

\Delta _{\omega} = \omega - 0 \\ \\ = 50 \ rad/s

However, on the disk, moment of inertIa is:

I= mr^2 \\ \\ I = (3 \times 0.2^2) \\ \\ I = 0.12 \ kgm^2

The time t = 10s

∴

Frictional torques by the wall on the disk is:

T = I \times (\dfrac{\Delta_{\omega}}{t}) \\ \\ = 0.12 \times (\dfrac{50}{10})  \\ \\ =0.6 \ N.m

Finally, the frictional force is calculated as:

F = \dfrac{T}r{}

F= \dfrac{0.6}{0.2} \\ \\ F = 3N

Violet light of wavelength 405 nm ejects electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.890 eV from a certain metal. What is the b
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

  Ф = 2.179 eV

Explanation:

This exercise has electrons ejected from a metal, which is why it is an exercise on the photoelectric effect, which is explained assuming the existence of energy quanta called photons that behave like particles.

            E = K + Ф

the energy of the photons is given by the Planck relation

            E = h f

we substitute

           h f = K + Ф

           Ф= hf - K

the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

            c = λ f

            f = c /λ

            Φ = \frac{hc}{\lambda } - K

let's reduce the energy to the SI system

            K = 0.890 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1eV) = 1.424 10⁻¹⁹ J

calculate

           Ф = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/405 10⁻⁹  -1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 4.911 10⁻¹⁹ - 1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 3.4571 10⁻¹⁹ J

         

we reduce to eV

           Ф = 3.4871 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

           Ф = 2.179 eV

A 35-gram stainless steel ball on a track is moving at a velocity of 9 m/s. On the same track, a 75-gram stainless steel ball is
elena-s [515]

Answer:

4.2 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(35 g) (9 m/s) + (75 g) (-7 m/s) = (35 g) (-15 m/s) + (75 g) v

315 g m/s − 525 g m/s = -525 g m/s + (75 g) v

315 g m/s = (75 g) v

v = 4.2 m/s

ikadub [295]

Answer:

Nuclear fusion in the Sun's core causes the release of tremendous amounts of energy that leads to very high temperatures and pressure which is much hotter and higher than the temperature and pressure at the exterior surface of the Sun causing the particles in the inner core region to push outwards towards the Sun's surface
