Explanation:

speed = distance/time

distance = 100m

time = 25s

s = 100/25

= 4m/s

How can magnet be used to produce an electric current

Bess [88]

Answer:

Magnetic fields can be used to make electricity

Moving a magnet around a coil of wire, or moving a coil of wire around a magnet, pushes the electrons in the wire and creates an electrical current. Electricity generators essentially convert kinetic energy (the energy of motion) into electrical energy

What is escape velocity

DanielleElmas [232]

Escape velocity is the speed that an object needs to be traveling to break free of a planet or moon's gravity well and leave it without further propulsion. For example, a spacecraft leaving the surface of Earth needs to be going 7 miles per second, or nearly 25,000 miles per hour to leave without falling back to the surface or falling into orbit.

The rms (root-mean-square) speed of a diatomic hydrogen molecule at 50∘C is 2000 m/s. Note that 1.0 mol of diatomic hydrogen at

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

A) d. (1/4)(2000m/s) = 500 m/s

B) c. 4000 J

C) f. None of the above (2149.24 m/s)

Explanation:

The translational kinetic energy of a gas molecule is given as:

K.E = (3/2)KT

where,

K = Boltzman's Constant = 1.38 x 1^-23 J/K

T = Absolute Temperature

but,

K.E = (1/2) mv²

where,

v = root mean square velocity

m = mass of one mole of a gas

Comparing both equations:

(3/2)KT = (1/2) mv²

v = √(3KT)/m _____ eqn (1)

FOR HYDROGEN:

v = √(3KT)/m = 2000 m/s _____ eqn (2)

FOR OXYGEN:

velocity of oxygen = √(3KT)/(mass of oxygen)

Here,

mass of 1 mole of oxygen = 16 m

velocity of oxygen = √(3KT)/(16 m)

velocity of oxygen = (1/4) √(3KT)/m

using eqn (2)

velocity of oxygen = (1/4)(2000 m/s) = 500 m/s

K.E = (3/2)KT

Since, the temperature is constant for both gases and K is also a constant. Therefore, the K.E of both the gases will remain same.

K.E of Oxygen = K.E of Hydrogen

K.E of Oxygen = 4000 J

using eqn (2)

At, T = 50°C = 323 k

v = √(3KT)/m = 2000 m/s

m = 3(1.38^-23 J/k)(323 k)/(2000 m/s)²

m = 3.343 x 10^-27 kg

So, now for this value of m and T = 100°C = 373 k

v = √(3)(1.38^-23 J/k)(373 k)/(3.343 x 10^-27 kg)

v = 2149.24 m/s

When nuclear fission occurs some mass is lost where does that mass go

horrorfan [7]

The loss of matter is called the mass defect. The missing matter is converted into energy. You can actually calculate the amount of energy produced during a nuclear reaction with fairly simple equation developed by Albert Einstein; E = mc^2. In this equation, E is the amount of energy produced, m is the missing mass, or the mass defect, and c is the speed of light, which is a rather large number. The speed of light is squared, making that part of the equation a very large number that, even when multiplied by a small amount of mass, yields a large amount of energy.

A rectangular gasoline tank can hold 50.0 kg of gasoline when full. What is the depth of the tank if it is 0.500-m wide by 0.900

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

0.16 m

Explanation:

A rectangular gasoline tank can hold 50.0 kg of gasoline when full, and the density of gasoline is 6.8 × 10² kg/m³. We can find the volume occupied by the gasoline (volume of the tank).

50.0 kg × (1 m³/6.8 × 10² kg) = 0.074 m³

The volume of the rectangular tank is:

volume = width × length × depth

depth = volume / width × length

depth = 0.074 m³ / 0.500 m × 0.900 m

depth = 0.16 m
