When all atoms that make up a substance are the same, then that substance is an element. Elements are made of only one kind of atom. Because of this, elements are called "pure"

Hey there!

An element is a substance made up only and entirely of one particular atom.

In fact- that's what makes an <em>element an element</em>. It's only made of one type of atom, and that's what makes it a singular substance that's used in the production of other substances.

If it had different types of atoms, it wouldn't be that singular element. The elements we have on the periodic table are the types of atoms and elements we know in order of atomic number. We know the most prominent, least prominent, and so on- but all of these elements are scattered throughout the world.

For example, steel is not an element- or a compound. It's an alloy, it's made of several different types of metals, each can be made of other types of metals, and when you go down to what <em>those</em> metals are made of- you get that one substance that's made up of one singular atom- an element.

Hope this helps!

There is given an ideal capacitor with two plates at a distance of 3 mm. The capacitor is connected to a voltage source with 12
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

K = 2 10⁻⁸ J

Explanation:

Let's solve this exercise in parts, we start by finding the charge on each plate of the capacitor

          C = Q / ΔV

           C = ε₀ A / d

          ε₀ A / d = Q / ΔV

          Q = ε₀ A ΔV / d        (1)

indicate the potential difference ΔV₁ = 12 V, the distance between the plates d₁ = 3 mm = 0.003 m,  

as the power supply is disconnected and the capacitor is ideal the charge remains constant

in the second part we separate the plates at d₂ = 5 mm = 0.005 m, using equation 1

          ΔV₂ = \frac{Q d_2}{ \epsilon_o A}

we substitute the equation for Q

         ΔV₂ = \frac{d_2}{\epsilon_o A} \ \frac{\epsilon_o A \Delta V }{d_1}

         ΔV₂ = \frac{d_2}{d_1} \  \Delta V_1

in the third part we use the concepts of energy

starting point. Test charge near positive plate

          Em₀ = U = q ΔV₂

           

final point. Test charge near negative plate

          Em_f = K

energy is conserved

          Em₀ = Em_f

          q ΔV₂ = K

          K = q ΔV₁ \frac{d_2}{d_1}

we calculate

          K = 1 10⁻⁹  12  0.005/0.003

          K = 2 10⁻⁸ J

You’re in the Nevada dessert and your 1800 kg car suddenly runs out of gas. You are going 25 m/s downhill towards a valley in th
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 )  Total mechanical energy of the car at the height of 10 m

1/2 mv² + mgh

.5 x 1800 x 25² + 1800  x 9.8 x 10 m

= 562500 + 176400

738900 J  

If v be the velocity at the bottom ,

Total energy of the car at the bottom

1/2 m v² + 0

Applying conservation of energy

1/2 mv² = 738900

.5 x 1800 v² = 738900

v = 28.65 m /s

Energy required by car to ascend height of 15 m

1800 x 9.8 x 15

= 264600 J

b )

This energy is more that total energy of the car at the top that is 738900 J

so car can easily reach gas station .

If V be the velocity at the gas point

Total energy at the gas point

1/2 m V² +  264600

Applying conservation of energy

1/2 m V² +  264600   =738900

.5 x 1800 x V² = 474300

V = 22.95 m / s

d ) If R be the normal reaction at the bottom

net force

R - mg = m v² / r

R = m ( g +  v² / r )

1800 ( 9.8 + 28.65² / 5 )

R = 313136 N

The slotted arm OA rotates about a fixed axis through O. At the instant under consideration, θ = 36°, θ˙ = 36 deg/s, and θ¨ = 26
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

   F = 0.0545 N

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law for rotational movement

        τ = I α

The moment of inertia for a bar supported by some ends is

       I = 1/3 m L²

Torque is

            τ = F L

Let's replace

         F L = 1/3 m L² α

         F = 1/3 m L α

Let's reduce angular acceleration to SI units

       Alf = 26º / s² (π rad / 180º) = 0.454 rad / s²

Let's calculate

          F = 1/3  0.5  0.72  0.454

          F = 0.0545 N

Describe four energy changes that happen in the process.
musickatia [10]

Driving a motor........

chemical energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Falling off of cliff

.........gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

Hydroelectric energy generation

.......gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (i.e. driving a generator), which is then converted into electrical energy.

Nuclear power generation

.........mass is converted into energy, which then drives a steam turbine, which is then converted into electrical energy.
