Answer:

Here the electrical energy is transformed into thermal energy

Explanation:

When electrical heater with fan is used to transmit the energy then in this case the energy supplied by the heater to the air molecules which is then forced to move by convection mode of heat transfer.

Here the transformation of energy is given in the form of electrical energy to thermal energy.

this thermal energy is absorbed by the air molecules which are then forced or pushed away by the fan

This type of energy transfer is known as thermal convection of heat.

So here the energy transformation is as following

Electrical energy to Thermal energy then by fan it is kinetic energy of molecules

A charge of -8.5 µC is traveling at a speed of 9.0 106 m/s in a region of space where there is a magnetic field. The angle betwe

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field is $9.3\times 10^{-5}\ T$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, $q=-8.5\ \mu C=-8.5\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Speed of the charged particle, $v=9\times 10^6\ m/s$

The angle between the velocity of the charge and the field is 56°.

The magnitude of force, $F=5.9\times 10^{-3}\ N$

We need to find the magnitude of the magnetic field. When a charged particle moves in the magnetic field, the magnetic force is experienced by it. The force is given by :

$F=qvB\ \sin\theta$

B is the magnetic field.

$B=\dfrac{F}{qv\ \sin\theta}\\\\B=\dfrac{5.9\times 10^{-3}}{8.5\times 10^{-6}\times 9\times 10^6\ \sin(56)}\\\\B=9.3\times 10^{-5}\ T$

So, the magnitude of the magnetic field is $9.3\times 10^{-5}\ T$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Assume that in the Stern-Gerlach experiment for neutral silver atoms, the magnetic field has a magnitude of B = 0.21 T. (a) What

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Explanation

Assume that in the Stern-Gerlach experiment for neutral silver atoms, the magnetic field has a magnitude of B = 0.21 T

A. To calculate the energy difference in the magnetic moment orientation

∆E = 2μB

For example, any electron's magnetic moment is measured to be 9.284764×10^−24 J/T

Then

μ = 9.284764 × 10^-24 J/T

∆E = 2μB

∆E = 2 × 9.284764 × 10^-24 × 0.21

∆E = 3.8996 × 10^-24 J

Then, to eV

1eV = 1.602 × 10^-19J

∆E = 3.8996 × 10^-24 J × 1eV / 1.602 × 10^-19J

∆E = 2.43 × 10^-5 eV

B. Frequency?

To determine the frequency of radiation hitch would induce the transition between the two states is,

∆E = hf

Where h is plank constant

h = 6.626 × 10-34 Js

Then, f = ∆E / h

f = 3.8996 × 10^-24 / 6.626 × 10^-34

f = 5.885 × 10^9 Hz

f ≈ 5.89 GHz

C. The wavelength of the radiation

From wave equation

v = fλ

In electromagnetic, we deal with speed of light, v = c

And the speed of light in vacuum is

c = 3 × 10^8 m/s

c = fλ

λ = c / f

λ = 3 × 10^8 / 5.885 × 10^9

λ = 0.051 m

λ = 5.1 cm

λ = 51 mm

D. It belongs to the microwave

From table

Micro waves ranges from

•Wavelength 10 to 0.01cm

Then we got λ = 5.1 cm, which is in the range.

•Frequency 3GHz to 3 Thz

Then, we got f ≈ 5.89 GHz, which is in the range

•Energy 10^-5 to 0.01 eV

We got ∆E = 2.43 × 10^-5 eV, which is in the range of the microwave

The value above is in microwave range

Q11) If you were standing at the top of a building and you dropped a rock.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Part A

The distance travel by the rock is approximately 132.496 m

Part B

The speed when the rock hits the ground is approximately 50.96 m/s

Explanation:

Part A

The question is focused on the kinetics equation of a free falling object

The given parameter is the time it takes the rock to hit the ground, t = 5.2 s

For an object in free fall, we have;

h = 1/2·g·t²

Where;

h = The height from which the object is dropped

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

t = The time taken to travel the distance, h = 5.2 s

∴ h = 1/2 × 9.8 m/s² × (5.2 s)² ≈ 132.496 m

The distance travel by the rock, h ≈ 132.496 m

Part B

The speed, 'v', when the rock hits the ground, is given by the following kinematic equation,

v = g·t

∴ v = 9.8 m/s² × 5.2 s = 50.96 m/s

The speed when the rock hits the ground, v ≈ 50.96 m/s.
