Yes. If an object would be vertical, it would most likely have potential energy due to gravity.

How many photons will be required to raise the temperature of 1.8 g of water by 2.5 k ?'?

tatyana61 [14]

Missing part in the text of the problem:
"<span>Water is exposed to infrared radiation of wavelength 3.0×10^−6 m"</span>

First we can calculate the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of the water, which is given by
$Q=m C_s \Delta T$
where
m=1.8 g is the mass of the water
$C_s = 4.18 J/(g K)$ is the specific heat capacity of the water
$\Delta T=2.5 K$ is the increase in temperature.

Substituting the data, we find
$Q=(1.8 g)(4.18 J/(gK))(2.5 K)=18.8 J=E$

We know that each photon carries an energy of
$E_1 = hf$
where h is the Planck constant and f the frequency of the photon. Using the wavelength, we can find the photon frequency:
$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3 \cdot 10^{-6} m}=1 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

So, the energy of a single photon of this frequency is
$E_1 = hf =(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} J)(1 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=6.6 \cdot 10^{-20} J$

and the number of photons needed is the total energy needed divided by the energy of a single photon:
$N= \frac{E}{E_1}= \frac{18.8 J}{6.6 \cdot 10^{-20} J} =2.84 \cdot 10^{20} photons$

A time-dependent but otherwise uniform magnetic field of magnitude B0(t) is confined in a cylindrical region of radius 6.5 cm. I

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

a = 603.59 m/s^2

Explanation:

from the data given . the rate of change in magnetic field is as follow

$\frac{dB}{dt} = 280 G/s = 280 \times 10^{-4} T/s$

from the faraday's law of induction , the expression for the induced emf in region of radius r as follow

$\epsilon = \frac{d \phi}{dt}$

$\int E.dl = \frac{d(BA)}{dt}$

$E(2\pi r)= \pi r^2 \frac{dB}{dt}$

$E = \frac{r}{2} \frac{dB}{dt}$

electric field at point P_1 as follow

$E = \frac{r}{2} \frac{dB}{dt}$

$E = \frac{1.5\times 10^{-2}}{2} 280 \times 10^{-4}$

$E = 6.3\times 10^{-6} V/m$

from newton 2nd law of motion, the acceleration of proton is

F = ma

qE = ma

$a = \frac{qE}{m}$

$a = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} (6.3\times 10^{-6})}{1.67\times 10^{-27}}$

a = 603.59 m/s^2

Acceleration toward the center of a curved path is called

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration.

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is a property of a body moving in a uniform circular path and it is directed radially towards the center of the circle in which body is rotating.

The force which causes this acceleration is centripetal force which is also directed towards the center of the circle and pulls the body towards its center.

It is calculated through following formula

$a=v^2/r$

where v is velocity and r is the radius of the circle.

A 10-kg piece of aluminum sits at the bottom of a lake, right next to a 10-kg piece of lead, which is much denser than aluminum.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Aluminium

Explanation:

When a body is immersed in a liquid partly or wholly it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force.

The amount of buoyant force depends on the volume of body immersed, density of liquid and the value of acceleration due to gravity.

Here, the density of liquid is same in both the cases and g be the same. So, here the amount of buoyant force depends on the volume of body immersed.

As the density of lead is more than the density of aluminium, so the volume of aluminium is more than lead, as volume is equal to mass divided by density. So, the buoyant force acting on the aluminium is more than lead.
