Answer:

Silica occurs in both amorphous as well as crystalline forms.

Amorphous silica are those in which the silica atoms are not arranged in a defined repeating pattern. This lacks the proper arrangement and tightening of crystals or atoms.

Whereas, crystalline quartz are those in which the silica atoms are arranged in a repeating pattern, forming a definite structure. Here the crystals are tightly arranged.

Due to the differences between their crystal arrangement and structure, the density of crystalline quartz is higher than the density of amorphous silica.

A metallic sheet has a large number of slits, 5.0 mm wide and 20 cm apart, and is used as a diffraction grating for microwaves.
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The smallest microwave frequency is 1.5 GHz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance d= 20 cm

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula for maximum diffraction

d\sin\theta=\lambda

For maximum, \sin\thea=1

d=\lambda

\lambda=20 cm=0.2 m

We need to calculate the frequency

f =\dfrac{c}{\lambda}

f=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{0.2}

f=1.5\times10^{9}\ Hz

f=1.5 GHz

Hence, The smallest microwave frequency is 1.5 GHz.

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

47.415 km .

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Time taken is 1.45 hours
  • Average speed of the bicycle is 32.7 Km/hr

We are supposed to work out for the distance;

  • We know that speed is the rate of change in distance given by;
  • Speed = Distance/time

Rearranging the formula, we can get distance;

Distance = Speed × time

In this case;

Distance =  32.7 km/hr × 1.45 hours

               = 47.415 km .

Thus, the bicyclist travels for a distance of 47.415 km at the average speed of 32.7 km/hr.

The charge on the square plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is Q. The potential across the plates is maintained with constant
lesantik [10]

Answer:

i)  Q' = Q/2.

ii) If the wires to the battery are disconnected, the amount of charge on the plates remains constant, and the voltage across the plates remains the same.

Explanation:

i) The formula for capacitance is given as

C = A/d                              

Where d = separation between the plates

The formula for the charge stored is given as

Q = CV

Q = AV/d

When "d" is doubled, the charge stored "Q" becomes half because Q is inversely proportional to the separation between the plates, d.

Thus, Q' = Q/2.

ii) If the wires to the battery are disconnected, the amount of charge on the plates remains constant, and the voltage across the plates remains the same.

12 g of coal contains approximately 6 × 1023 atoms of carbon.
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

5*10^25 atoms of carbon

Explanation:

<u>Check from the periodic table:</u>

M(carbon) = 12.01 g/mol

<u>Convert kg into g:</u>

1 kg = 1000 g

<u>Calculate the number of moles of carbon:</u>

n(carbon) = (1000 g) ÷ (12.01 g/mol) = 83.26 mol

<u>Convert moles into number of particles:</u>

#(carbon) = n × NA = 83.26 mol × 6*10^23

= 5*10^25 particles

<em>N</em><em>o</em><em>t</em><em>e</em><em>:</em><em> </em><em>NA represents the Avogadro's Number, which has the value 6.02*10^23 particles/mol</em><em>.</em>

You are driving at 75 km/h. Your sister follows in the car behind at 75 km/h. When you honk your horn, your sister hears a frequ
OLga [1]

The ideal concept for solving this question is based on the Doppler effect, for which it is indicated that the source's listening frequency changes as the distance and the relative speed between the receiver and the transmitter are also changed. However, if the relative velocity between the two objects is zero as in the particular case presented (since both travel at 75km / h) we have that there will be no change in frequency.

Therefore the frequency that I hear and that my sister would listen would be the same.
