The longest wavelength of radiation used to break carbon-carbon bonds is 344 nm.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The longest wavelength of radiation can also be stated as the minimum radiation frequency required to cut carbon-carbon bond should be equal to the threshold energy of the carbon-carbon bonds.

The threshold energy will be equal to the binding energy of the carbon-carbon bonds. As it is known that carbon-carbon bonds exhibit a binding energy of 348 kJ/mole, the threshold energy to break it, is determined as followed.

First, we have to convert the energy from kJ/mol to J, i.e., energy for the carbon-carbon molecules,

\text { Energy } = \frac{348 \mathrm{KJ} / \mathrm{mol}}{6.023 \times 10^{23} \text { photons }} \times 1 \text { mole } \times 1000 = 57.77 \times 10^{-20} = 5.78 \times 10^{-19} J

As,

         E=h v=\frac{h c}{\lambda}

So,

\lambda=\frac{h c}{E}=\frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 * 10^{8}}{5.78 \times 10^{-19}}=3.44 \times 10^{-7}

Thus, \lambda=344 \mathrm{nm} is the longest wavelength of radiation used to break carbon-carbon bonds.

A 878-kg (1940 lb) dragster, starting from rest, attains a speed of 25.9 m/s (57.9 mph) in 0.62 s. (a) Find the average accelera
salantis [7]

Answer:

41.8m/s^2

Explanation:

Since the dragster starts from rest, initial velocity (u) = 0m/s, final velocity (v) = 25.9m/s, time (t) = 0.62s

From the equations of motion, v = u + at

a = (v - u)/t = (25.9 - 0)/0.62 = 25.9/0.62 = 41.8m/s^2

Objects are lighter on the moon than they are on earth. if an object A weighs 25lbs on the Moon and another object B weighs 25 N
solong [7]

Answer:

a. Object A

Explanation:

The mass of an object implies the quantity of matter in it, while the weight is the amount of gravitational force applied on an object.

The object A has a mass of 25 lbs, but object B on the earth has a weight, W, of 25 N.

So that,

For object A on the moon, mass = 25 lbs

For object B on the earth, W = 25 N,

W = m x g

25 = m x 10                (g = 10 m/s^{2})

m = \frac{25}{10}

   = 2.5 lbs

Mass of object B is 2.5 lbs.

Therefore, the mass of the object A is more than that of B.

What is the study of kinematics based upon ?<br><br>thankyou ~​
NikAS [45]

Kinematics is the study of the motion of a system of bodies without directly considering the forces or potential fields affecting the motion. In other words, kinematics examines how momentum and energy are shared among interacting bodies.

velikii [3]

Answer:

All these is caused by the repulsion force.

Explanation:

The electroscope produces a series of electric charges that produce a repulsion force when is putted in contact with a electric charged object.

As the physics law mentions, two different forces are repealed, the electrocospe is charged negatively and the object positively, causing a repulsion force that avoids that both objects touch the other.
