The moon is 3.85 x 10 to the 8 m from earth and has a diameter of 3.48 x 10 to the 6 m. You have a pea (diameter = 0.50 cm) and

a dime (diameter = 1.8 cm). Close one eye and hold each object at arm's length (71 cm) between your open eye and the moon. Which objects, if any, completely cover your view of the moon? Assume that the moon and both objects are sufficiently far from your eye that the given diameters are equal to arc lengths when calculating angles.
a. dime
b. neither
c. pea
d. both

Answer:

(a) dime

Explanation:

Convert all to metric unit:

0.5 cm = 0.005 m

1.8 cm = 0.018 m

71 cm = 0.71 m

In order to find out we would need to calculate the ratio R between the object diameter d and their distance s to our eyes:

R_m = \frac{d_m}{s_m} = \frac{3.48*10^6}{3.85*10^8} \approx 0.009

R_p = \frac{d_p}{s_p} = \frac{0.005}{0.71} \approx 0.007

R_d = \frac{d_d}{s_d} = \frac{0.018}{0.71} \approx 0.0253

Since the ratio of the dime is larger than the ratio of the moon, and the ratio of the pea is smaller than the ratio of the moon, only the (a) dime can cover your view of the moon.

Two rigid tanks of equal size and shape are filled with different gases. The tank on the left contains oxygen, and the tank on t
fredd [130]

Answer:

The number of oxygen molecules in the left container greater than the number of hydrogen molecules in the right container.

Explanation:

Given:

Molar mass of oxygen, M_O=32

Molar mass of hydrogen, M_H=2

We know ideal gas law as:

PV=nRT

where:

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

n= no. of moles of the gas molecules

R = universal gs constant

T = temperature of the gas

∵n=\frac{m}{M}

where:

m = mass of gas in grams

M = molecular mass of the gas

∴Eq. (1) can be written as:

PV=\frac{m}{M}.RT

P=\frac{m}{V}.\frac{RT}{M}

        as: \frac{m}{V}=\rho\ (\rm density)

So,

P=\rho.\frac{RT}{M}

Now, according to given we have T,P,R same for both the gases.

P_O=P_H

\rho_O.\frac{RT}{M_O}=\rho_H.\frac{RT}{M_H}

\Rightarrow \frac{\rho_O}{32}=\frac{\rho_H}{2}

\rho_O=16\rho_H

∴The molecules of oxygen are more densely packed than the molecules of hydrogen in the same volume at the same temperature and pressure. So, <em>the number of oxygen molecules in the left container greater than the number of hydrogen molecules in the right container.</em>

During the experiment if you could double the breakaway magnetic force with all other quantities left unchanged, what is the new
sergiy2304 [10]
There are some missing information in the question.
However, since you are talking about magnetic force, I think you refer to the Lorentz force. When a particle of charge q and velocity v is immersed in a magnetic field of intensity B, the force acting on the particle is:
F=qvBsin\theta
where \theta is the angle between the magnetic field and the direction of the particle.
Therefore, if force F is doubled, then also the velocity v must be double of its initial value:
v=2v_0

Which type of energy is stored in a capacitor? electric potential energy chemical energy gravitational energy heat energy
Tom [10]

Energy stored in a capacitor is Electric Potential Energy. Capacitor is device used for storing energy. The work done to charge is a capacitor is stored in it in the form of Electrical potential energy. Electrical potential energy is defined as capacity to do work due to the position change. For example, we know fans have capacitor installed in it. When we turn off the fan, it continue moving using the electrical energy stored in the capacitor.
