Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

Explanation:

From he question we are told that

The first mass is $m_1 = 0.42kg$

The second mass is $m_2 = 0.47kg$

From the question we can see that at equilibrium the moment about the point where the string holding the bar (where $m_1 \ and \ m_2$ are hanged ) is attached is zero

Therefore we can say that

$m_1 * 15cm = m_2 * xcm$

Making x the subject of the formula

$x = \frac{m_1 * 15}{m_2}$

$= \frac{0.42 * 15}{0.47}$

$x = 13.4 cm$

Looking at the diagram we can see that the tension T on the string holding the bar where $m_1 \ and \ m_2$ are hanged is as a result of the masses ( $m_1 + m_2$ )

Also at equilibrium the moment about the point where the string holding the bar (where ( $m_1 +m_2$ ) and $m_3$ are hanged ) is attached is zero

So basically

$(m_1 + m_2 ) * 20 = m_3 * 30$

$(0.42 + 0.47) * 20 = 30 * m_3$

Making $m_3$ subject

$m_3 = \frac{(0.42 + 0.47) * 20 }{30 }$

$m_3 = 0.59 kg$

Calculate the critical angle for light going from Glycerine to air.

Georgia [21]

The refractive index for glycerine is $n_g=1.473$ , while for air it is $n_a = 1.00$ .

When the light travels from a medium with greater refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle over which there is no refraction, but all the light is reflected. This critical angle is given by:
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )$
where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two mediums. If we susbtitute the refractive index of glycerine and air in the formula, we find the critical angle for this case:
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{1.00}{1.473} )=42.8^{\circ}$

A system absorbs 194 kj of heat and the surroundings do 120 kj of work on the system. internal eneergy change

notsponge [240]

We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics, which states that:
$\Delta U = Q-W$
where
$\Delta U$ is the change in internal energy of the system
Q is the heat absorbed by the system
W is the work done by the system

In our problem, the heat absorbed by the system is Q=+194 kJ, while the work done is W=-120 kJ, where the negative sign means the work is done by the surroundings on the system. Therefore, the variation of internal energy is
$\Delta U= Q-W=+194 kJ - (-120 kJ)=+314 kJ$

Will an atom emit light if all the atoms electrons are in the ground state

Oliga [24]

No,

To emit light an electron has to jump down to a lower energy level but in an electron is unable to go any lower in ground state.

If the pressure inside the cylinder increases to 1.6 atm, what is the final volume, in milliliters, of the cylinder?

Bess [88]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

The air in the cylinder with a piston has a volume of 220 mL and a pressure of 650 mmHg.

If the pressure inside the cylinder increases to 1.6 atm, what is the final volume, in milliliters, of the cylinder?

Answer : The final volume of the cylinder is, 117.6 mL

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

or,

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 650 mmHg = 0.855 atm (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = 1.6 atm

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = 220 mL

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$0.855atm\times 220mL=1.6atm\times V_2$

$V_2=117.6mL$

Therefore, the final volume of the cylinder is, 117.6 mL
