List two fossil fuels. Describe in general how fossil fuels were formed.

1 answer:

6 0

Coal and oil.... Fossil fuel is formed from decaying plants/animals who were buried and eventually converted to crude oil, gas by the exposure to heat and the pressure of the earths crust. This takes about 1 million years to happen.

Part A Which of the following statements is/are true? Check all that apply.

viva [34]

Answer:

A) True

C)True

D)True

Explanation:

As we know that power is the rate at which work is done.

We know that mechanical work w given as

w = ∫F.ds

F=Force

ds = Elemental displacement

So power P = F.V

V=Velocity

F=Force

The unit of power in SI unit is Watt or joule per second (J/s).But on the other hand the unit of power in English system is horsepower.

The is also can be defined as the rate at which energy is transformed.

Following option are corrects

A) True

C)True

D)True

What is the energy of a photon that has the same wavelength as an electron having a kinetic energy of 15 ev?

serg [7]

Answer: $6.268(10)^{-16}J$

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an electron $K_{e}$ is given by the following equation:

$K_{e}=\frac{(p_{e})^{2} }{2m_{e}}$ (1)

Where:

$K_{e}=15eV=2.403^{-18}J=2.403^{-18}\frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}$

$p_{e}$ is the momentum of the electron

$m_{e}=9.11(10)^{-31}kg$ is the mass of the electron

From (1) we can find $p_{e}$ :

$p_{e}=\sqrt{2K_{e}m_{e}}$ (2)

$p_{e}=\sqrt{2(2.403^{-18}J)(9.11(10)^{-31}kg)}$

$p_{e}=2.091(10)^{-24}\frac{kgm}{s}$ (3)

Now, in order to find the wavelength of the electron $\lambda_{e}$ with this given kinetic energy (hence momentum), we will use the De Broglie wavelength equation:

$\lambda_{e}=\frac{h}{p_{e}}$ (4)

Where:

$h=6.626(10)^{-34}J.s=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s}$ is the Planck constant

So, we will use the value of $p_{e}$ found in (3) for equation (4):

$\lambda_{e}=\frac{6.626(10)^{-34}J.s}{2.091(10)^{-24}\frac{kgm}{s}}$

$\lambda_{e}=3.168(10)^{-10}m$ (5)

We are told the wavelength of the photon $\lambda_{p}$ is the same as the wavelength of the electron:

$\lambda_{e}=\lambda_{p}=3.168(10)^{-10}m$ (6)

Therefore we will use this wavelength to find the energy of the photon $E_{p}$ using the following equation:

$E_{p}=\frac{hc}{lambda_{p}}$ (7)

Where $c=3(10)^{8}m/s$ is the spped of light in vacuum

$E_{p}=\frac{(6.626(10)^{-34}J.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)}{3.168(10)^{-10}m}$

Finally:

$E_{p}=6.268(10)^{-16}J$

If a car goes at a speed of 80 kph in 10 seconds, what is the distance

Blababa [14]

Answer:222 meters

Explanation:

Speed=80kph=(80x5/18)=(80x5)/18=22.2m/s

Time=10 seconds

distance=speed x time

distance=22.2 x 10

distance=222

distance=222 meters

How many coulombs of positive charge are there in 47.0 gm of plutonium, given its atomic mass is 244 and that each plutonium ato

enot [183]

Answer:

1.78×10⁶ C

Explanation:

Using the atomic mass of pluonium atoms (244 g/mol), you can calculate the number of atoms in 47.0 g. Then, knowing that each plutonium atom has 96 protons, you calculate the number of protons in the 47.0 g sample. Finally, using the positive charge of one proton, you calculate the total positive charge in the 47.0 g of plutonium.

1. Number of atoms of plutonium in 47.0 g

Number of moles = mass / atomic mass = 47.0 g / 244 = 0.1926 moles

Number of atoms = number of moles × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol

Number of atoms = 0.1926 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/mol = 1.15998×10²³ atoms

2. Number of protons

Number of protons = 1.15998×10²³ atoms × 96 protons/atom = 1.11385×10²⁵ protons

3. Charge

Charge = charge of one proton × number of protons

Charge = 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ C/proton × 1.11385×10²⁵ protons = 1.78×10⁶C
