A moving particle encounters an external electric field that decreases its kinetic energy from 9520 eV to 7060 eV as the particl
Sati [7]

Given Information:

KEa = 9520 eV

KEb = 7060 eV

Electric potential = Va = -55 V

Electric potential = Vb = +27 V

Required Information:

Charge of the particle = q = ?

Answer:

Charge of the particle = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy, we have

ΔKE = -qΔV

KEb - KEa = -q(Vb - Va)

-q = KEb - KEa/Vb - Va

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 - (-55)

-q = 7060 - 9520/27 + 55

-q = -2460/82

minus sign cancels out

q = 2460/82

Convert eV into Joules by multiplying it with 1.60x10⁻¹⁹

q = 2460(1.60x10⁻¹⁹)/82

q = +4.8x10⁻¹⁸ C

A high-jumper, having just cleared the bar, lands on an air mattress and comes to rest. Had she landed directly on the hard grou
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

e. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a smaller net avg force, on the high-jumper than hard-ground.

Explanation:

This is according to the Newton's second law and energy conservation that the force exerted by the hard-ground is more than the force exerted by the mattress.

The hard ground stops the moving mass by its sudden reaction in the opposite direction of impact force whereas the mattress takes a longer time to stop the motion of same mass in a longer time leading to lesser average reaction force.

<u>Mathematical expression for the Newton's second law of motion is given as:</u>

F=\frac{dp}{dt} ............................................(1)

where:

dp = change in momentum

dt = time taken to change the momentum

We know, momentum:

p=m.v

Now, equation (1) becomes:

F=\frac{d(m.v)}{dt}

<em>∵mass is constant at speeds v << c (speed of light)</em>

\therefore F=m.\frac{dv}{dt}

and, \frac{dv}{dt} =a

where: a = acceleration

\Rightarrow F=m.a

also

F\propto \frac{1}{dt}

so, more the time, lesser the force.

<em>& </em><u><em>Impulse:</em></u>

I=F.dt

I=m.a.dt

I=m.\frac{dv}{dt}.dt

I=m.dv=dp

∵Initial velocity and final velocity(=0), of a certain mass is same irrespective of the stopping method.

So, the impulse in both the cases will be same.

20.0 moles, 1840 g, of a nonvolatile solute, C 3H 8O 3 is added to a flask with an unknown amount of water and stirred. The solu
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

0.144 kg of water

Explanation:

From Raoult's law,

Mole fraction of solvent = vapor pressure of solution ÷ vapor pressure of solvent = 423 mmHg ÷ 528.8 mmHg = 0.8

Let the moles of solvent (water) be y

Moles of solute (C3H8O3) = 2 mole

Total moles of solution = moles of solvent + moles of solute = (y + 2) mol

Mole fraction of solvent = moles of solvent/total moles of solution

0.8 = y/(y + 2)

y = 0.8(y + 2)

y = 0.8y + 1.6

y - 0.8y = 1.6

0.2y = 1.6

y = 1.6/0.2 = 8

Moles of solvent (water) = 8 mol

Mass of water = moles of water × MW = 8 mol × 18 g/mol = 144 g = 144/1000 = 0.144 kg
