Consider a container of oxygen gas at a temperature of 23°C that is 1.00 m tall. Compare the gravitational potential energy of a

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Yes, it is reasonable to neglect it.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, a single molecule of oxygen weights 32 g (diatomic oxygen) thus, the mass of kilograms is (consider Avogadro's number):

$m=1molec*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}molec} *\frac{32g}{1mol}*\frac{1kg}{1000g}=5.31x10^{-26}kg$

After that, we compute the potential energy 1.00 m above the reference point:

$U=mhg=5.31x10^{-26}kg*1.00m*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}=5.2x10^{-25}J$

Then, we compute the average kinetic energy at the specified temperature:

$K=\frac{3}{2}\frac{R}{Na}T$

Whereas $N_A$ stands for the Avogadro's number for which we have:

$K=\frac{3}{2} \frac{8.314\frac{J}{mol*K}}{6.022x10^{23}/mol}*(23+273)K\\ \\K=6.13x10^{-21}J$

In such a way, since the average kinetic energy energy is about 12000 times higher than the potential energy, it turns out reasonable to neglect the potential energy.

Regards.

A straight segment of a current-carrying wire has a current element IL where I = 2.70 A and L = 3.20 cm i + 4.30 cm j. The segme

myrzilka [38]

The component of the force in negative z-direction is -0.144 N.

The given parameters;

current in the wire, I = 2.7 A
length of the wire, L = (3.2 i + 4.3j) cm
magnetic filed, B = 1.24 i

The force on the segment of the wire is calculated as follows;

$F = ILBsin(\theta)$

where;

θ is the angle wire and magnetic field

The force on the wire segment will be perpendicular in negative z-direction (applying right hand rule), so there won't be any x and y component of the force.

The angle between the wire and the magnetic field is calculated as follows;

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{y}{x} )\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{4.3}{3.2} )\\\\\theta = 53.3 \ ^0$

The magnitude of the wire length is calculated as follows;

$|l | = \sqrt{3.2^2 + 4.3^2} = 5.36 \ cm = 0.0536 \ m$

The component of the force in negative z-direction is calculated as;

$F_z = -ILB sin(\theta)\\\\F_z = -2.7 \times 0.0536 \times 1.24 \times sin(53.3)\\\\F_z = -0.144 \ N$

Thus, the component of the force in negative z-direction is -0.144 N.

What is the benefit of developing the atomic mass unit as a standard unit of mass?

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The atomic mass unit is 1/12 of an atom of carbon 12, and is a very small amount to represent in kilograms:

$1m_{u}=1.66054x10^{-27}kg$

$m_{u}$ is atomic mass unit.

This is why the benefits of the atomic mass unit is that it makes the representation of atomic masses easier in terms of the simplicity of the numbers that are used to represent the masses. Also using the atomic mass unit it is easier to compare the masses of different atoms, These numbers would be very small and would require negative powers of 10 to represent them, so it is more convenient to use the atomic mass unit.

What was Laurentia and what lands was it composed of? What happened to it?

snow_lady [41]

Laurentia, also called the North American Craton, is a huge continental craton. It forms the ancient geological core of the continent of North America. It is made up of present day North America and Greenland. About 300 million years ago, it collided with the southern hemispheric continent of Gondwana and formed the supercontinent called Pangaea.
