Answer:

The motion of the molecules slow down

Explanation:

In heating process, increase in the temperature increases the motion of the molecules and hence it gains the kinetic energy and moves.

While in the cooling process, decrease in temperature reduces the speed or motion of the molecules and that's why during cooling kinetic energy of the molecules falls down.

Coherent light of wavelength 540 nm passes through a pair of thin slits that are 3.4 × 10-5 m apart. At what angle away from the

Scrat [10]

Answer: $1.8\°$

Explanation:

The diffraction angles $\theta_{n}$ when we have a slit divided into $n$ parts are obtained by the following equation:

$dsin\theta_{n}=n\lambda$ (1)

Where:

$d=3.4(10)^{-5}m$ is the width of the slit

$\lambda=540 nm=540(10)^{-9}m$ is the wavelength of the light

$n$ is an integer different from zero.

Now, the second-order diffraction angle is given when $n=2$ , hence equation (1) becomes:

$dsin\theta_{2}=2\lambda$ (2)

Now we have to find the value of $\theta_{2}$ :

$sin\theta_{2}=\frac{2\lambda}{d}$ (3)

Then:

$\theta_{2}=arcsin(\frac{2\lambda}{d})$ (4)

$\theta_{2}=arcsin(\frac{2(540(10)^{-9}m)}{3.4(10)^{-5}m})$ (5)

Finally:

$\theta_{2}=1.8\°$ (6)

A small object carrying a charge of -2.50 nc is acted upon by a downward force of 18.0 nn when placed at a certain point in an e

Vesna [10]

Missing question in the text:
"A.What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the point in question?

B.What would be the magnitude and direction of the force acting on a proton placed at this same point in the electric field?"

Solution:

A) A charge q under an electric field of intensity E will experience a force F equal to:

$F=qE$

In our problem we have $q=-2.5 nC=-2.5\cdot 10^{-9} C$ and $F=18 nN = 18 \cdot 10^{-9} N$ , so we can find the magnitude of the electric field:

$E= \frac{F}{q}= \frac{18\cdot 10^{-9}N}{2.5\cdot 10^{-9}C}=7.2 V/m$

The charge is negative, therefore it moves against the direction of the field lines. If the force is pushing down the charge, then the electric field lines go upward.

B) The proton charge is equal to

$e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$

Therefore, the magnitude of the force acting on the proton will be

$F=eE=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C \cdot 7.2 V/m=1.15 \cdot 10^{-18} N$

And since the proton has positive charge, the verse of the force is the same as the verse of the field, so upward.

The magnitude of the net force versus time graph has a rectangular shape. Often in physics geometric properties of graphs have p

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In this particular case, the area of the graph represents the impulse.

In fact, impulse is defined as the change in momentum of an object:

$I=\Delta p$

Moreover, impulse is also defined as the product between the magnitude of the force acting on an object and the duration of the collision:

$I=F\Delta t$

If we plot a graph of the force versus the time, if the force is constant then this graph will have a rectangular shape, and the area under the graph will simply be the product

$F\cdot \Delta t$

which corresponds to the definition of impulse.

Which group in the periodic table is known as salt farmers?

adell [148]

Which group in the periodic table is known as salt formers?

The correct option is the last one: Halogen family.

You can find the halogen or "salt formers" in the group 17 of the periodic table. These are:

- Fluorine.
-Chlorine.
- Bromine.
- Iodine.
- Astatine.

All of them are non-metallic elements and they have 7 electrons.
