Consider a hydrogen atom in the n = 1 state. The atom is placed in a uniform B field of magnitude 2.5 T. Calculate the energy di

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$E=29\times 10^{-5}eV$

Explanation:

For n-=1 state hydrogen energy level is split into three componets in the presence of external magnetic field. The energies are,

$E^{+}=E+\mu B$ ,

$E^{-}=E-\mu B$ ,

$E^{0}=E$

Here, E is the energy in the absence of electric field.

And

$E^{+} and E^{-}$ are the highest and the lowest energies.

The difference of these energies

$\Delta E=2\mu B$

$\mu=9.3\times 10^{-24}J/T$ is known as Bohr's magneton.

B=2.5 T,

Therefore,

$\Delta E=2(9.3\times 10^{-24}J/T)\times 2.5 T\\\Delta E=46.5\times 10^{-24}J$

Now,

$Delta E=46.5\times 10^{-24}J(\frac{1eV}{1.6\times 10^{-9}J } )\\Delta E=29.05\times 10^{-5}eV\\Delta E\simeq29\times 10^{-5}eV$

Therefore, the energy difference between highest and lowest energy levels in presence of magnetic field is $E=29\times 10^{-5}eV$

A student pulls a block over a rough surface with a constant force FP that is at an angle θ above the horizontal, as shown above

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

B.The force of friction between the block and surface will decrease.

Explanation:

The force of friction is given by

$F_s = \mu N$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction and $N$ is the normal force.

When the student pulls on the block with force $F_p$ at an angle $\theta$ , the normal force on the block becomes

$N = Mg- F_psin(\theta)$

and hence the frictional force becomes

$F_s = \mu (Mg- F_psin(\theta))$ .

Now, as we increase $\theta$ , $sin(\theta)$ increases which as a result decreases the normal force $Mg- F_psin(\theta)$ , which also means the frictional force decreases; Hence choice B stands true.

<em>P.S: Choice D is tempting but incorrect since the weight </em> $W=mg$ <em> is independent of the external forces on the block. </em>

You exert a 100-N force on a pulley system to lift 300-N. What is the mechanical advantage of this system? How many sections of

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = 3

Explanation:

You exert a 100-N force on a pulley system to lift 300-N.

The mechanical advantage of the system is given by the ratio of output force to the input force.

Here, output force = 300 N and input force = 100 N

Mechanical advantage,

$m=\dfrac{300}{100}\\\\m=3$

Mechanical advantage is 3 it means that there are 3 sections of rope support. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the momentum of a man of mass 10kg when he walks with a uniform velocity of 2m/s.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

$Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s$

Explanation:

Given

Mass = 10kg

Velocity = 2m/s

Required

Calculate the momentum of the man

Momentum is calculated as thus

$Momentum(p) = Mass(m) * Velocity(v)$

$p = mv$

So; to solve this question; we simply substitute 10kg for mass and 2m/s for velocity in the above formula;

The formula becomes

$Momentum(p) = 10kg * 2m/s$

$Momentum(p) = 10 * 2 * kg * m/s$

$Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s$

Hence, the momentum of the man is $20kgm/s$

What does an electromagnet have that a bar magnet does not ?

Anon25 [30]

The bar magnet and the electromagnet act identical. The difference being a electromagnet is a coil of wire that has a power source connect to both ends, this energizes the coil with an electromagnetic field.
