Answer:

Bowling Ball

Explanation:

The potential energy depends on the factors: mass of the object and distance between the two objects. In this case the distance is between the ground and the balls. Here, the bowling ball is heaviest and its center of mass is farthest in comparison to other two balls. Thus, it has the greatest potential energy.

What must occur within a magnetic material before it exhibts magnetic properties?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Option C, The magnetic domains inside the material must be aligned

Explanation:

Magnetic domains determine the magnetic behavior of any substance. Most of the magnetic substances have disoriented magnetic domains due to which they do not behave as magnets until unless an external force is applied to change the orientation of their domains and align them properly.

Hence, option C is correct

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of: a) A person running across the room (assume 180 kg at 1 m/s) b) A 5.0 MeV proton
solmaris [256]

Answer:

a

\lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \  m

b

\lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the person is  m =  180 \  kg

    The speed of the person is  v  =  1 \  m/s

    The energy of the proton is  E_ p =  5 MeV = 5 *10^{6} eV  = 5.0 *10^6 * 1.60 *10^{-19} = 8.0 *10^{-13} \  J

Generally the de Broglie wavelength is mathematically represented as

      \lambda = \frac{h}{m * v }

Here  h is the Planck constant with the value

      h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s

So  

     \lambda = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{ 180  * 1  }

=> \lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \  m

Generally the energy of the proton is mathematically represented as

         E_p =  \frac{1}{2}  *   m_p  *  v^2_p

Here m_p  is the mass of proton with value  m_p  =  1.67 *10^{-27} \  kg

=>     8.0*10^{-13} =  \frac{1}{2}  *   1.67 *10^{-27}  *  v^2

=>   v _p= \sqrt{\frac{8.0 *10^{-13}}{ 0.5 * 1.67 *10^{-27}} }

=>   v = 3.09529 *10^{7} \  m/s

So

        \lambda_p = \frac{h}{m_p * v_p }

so    \lambda_p = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{1.67 *10^{-27} * 3.09529 *10^{7} }

=>     \lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m

The hydrocarbon used to manufacture foam plastics is called styrene. Analysis shows composition to be 92.25% C and 7.75% H. Anal
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

molecular formula = C_{8} H_{8}

Explanation:

Given data

c = 92.25%

H = 7.75%

molar mass = 104 g/mol

to find out

the empirical and molecular formula for styrene

solution

we know that

styrene 1 g contain = 0.9225 g C and 0.0775 g H

so

C = 104 × 0.9225 g / 12 g/mol

C = 7.995 mol = approx 8 mol

and

H = 104 × 0.0775 g / 1 g/mol

H = 8.06 mol = approx 8 mol

so we say that 1 mole of styrene  have 8 mole of C and H

so

molecular formula = C_{8} H_{8}
