Answer:

10g

Explanation:

As the Law of Conservation of Mass states that " Mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction".

Though melting of tin isn't a chemical change, the same logic is applied here...

Hence,

The mass of tin will be 10 g itself...

Answer:

10g

Explanation:

The experiment is about melting of tin. When solid tin is melted, it retains the amount of substance it originally has and we expect it to still be 10g.

Mass is the quantity or amount of matter contained in a substance. For most chemical processes, the law of conservation of matter is always succinctly observed.

The law states that "matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction or process". Although melting is a phase change, we can adapt this law to the process. Owning to no loss of matter in the melting procedure, the amount of substance remains the same.

Therefore, we are left with about the same mass of substance we started with which is 10g.

Answer:

121 Joules

6.16717 m

Explanation:

m = Mass of the rocket = 2 kg

k = Spring constant = 800 N/m

x = Compression of spring = 0.55 m

Here, the kinetic energy of the spring and rocket will balance each other

$\frac{1}{2}mu^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m}}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{\frac{800\times 0.55^2}{2}}\\\Rightarrow u=11\ m/s$

The initial velocity of the rocket is 11 m/s = u.

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = g

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-11^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=6.16717\ m$

The maximum height of the rocket will be 6.16717 m

Potential energy is given by

$P=mgh\\\Rightarrow P=2\times 9.81\times \frac{0^2-11^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow P=121\ J$

The potential energy of the rocket at the maximum height will be 121 Joules

A tow truck exerts a net horizontal force of 1050 N on a 760-kg car. What is the acceleration of the car during this time?

vovikov84 [41]

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion:
$F=ma$
where
F is the net force applied to the object
m is the object's mass
a is the acceleration of the object

In this problem, the force applied to the car is F=1050 N, while the mass of the car is m=760 kg. Therefore, we can rearrange the equation and put these numbers in, in order to find the acceleration of the car:
$a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1050 N}{760 kg}=1.4 m/s^2$

The equation also tells us that the acceleration and the force have same directions: therefore, since the force exerted on the car is horizontal, the correct answer is
<span>B) 1.4 m/s2 horizontally.</span>

What are the units, if any, of the particle in a box wavefunction. What does this mean?

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

$[\psi]= [Length^{-3/2}]$
This means that the integral of the square modulus over the space is dimensionless.

Explanation:

We know that the square modulus of the wavefunction integrated over a volume gives us the probability of finding the particle in that volume. So the result of the integral

$\int\limits^{x_f}_{x_0} \int\limits^{yf}_{y_0} \int\limits^{z_f}_{z_0} |\psi|^2 \, dz \, dy \, dx$

must be dimensionless, as represents a probability.

As the differentials has units of length

$[dx]=[dy]=[dz]=[Length]$

for the integral to be dimensionless, the units of the square modulus of the wavefunction has to be:

$[\psi]^2 = [Length^{-3}]$

taking the square root this gives us :

$[\psi] = [Length^{-3/2}]$
