Answer:

3. $h^2$

Explanation:

Energy of volume contained in a dam is given by

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}A\rho gh^2$

where,

A = Horizontal surface area of the barrage

$\rho$ = Density of water

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Vertical tidal range,

It can be seen that

$E\propto h^2$

Hence, the energy is proportional to $h^2$

A sample of helium gas has a volume of 900. milliliters and a pressure of 2.50 atm at 298 K. What is the new pressure when the t

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The new pressure = 5.64 atm.

Explanation:

Using The general gas equation,

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂..................... Equation 1

making P₂ the subject of the equation

P₂ = P₁V₁T₂/V₂T₁ ...................... Equation 2

Where P₁ = initial pressure, V₁ = initial Volume, T₁ = Initial temperature, P₂ = final pressure, V₂ = final volume, T₂ = final Temperature.

Given: P ₁= 2.5 atm, T₁ = 298 K, V₁= 900 milliliters, T ₂= 336 K, V₂ = 450 milliliters

Substituting these values into equation 2,

P₂ = (2.5×900×336)/(298×450)

P₂ = 756000/134100

P₂ = 5.64 atm.

Thus the new pressure = 5.64 atm.

The energy E of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula: =E−Ryn2 In this equation Ry stands for

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

λ = 162 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

Bohr's model for the hydrogen atom gives energy by the equation

$E_{n}$ = - k²e² / 2m (1 / n²)

Where k is the Coulomb constant, e and m the charge and mass of the electron respectively and n is an integer

The Planck equation

E = h f

The speed of light is

c = λ f

E = h c /λ

For a transition between two states we have

$E_{n}$ - $E_{m}$ = - k²e² / 2m (1 / $n_{f}$ ² -1 / $n_{i}$ ²)

h c / λ = -k² e² / 2m (1 / $n_{f}$ ² - 1/ $n_{i}$ ²)

1 / λ = (- k² e² / 2m h c) (1 / $n_{f}$ ² - 1/ $n_{i}$ ²)

The Rydberg constant with a value of 1,097 107 m-1 is the result of the constant in parentheses

Let's calculate the emission of the transition

1 /λ = 1.097 10⁷ (1/10² - 1/8²)

1 / λ = 1.097 10⁷ (0.01 - 0.015625)

1 /λ = 0.006170625 10⁷

λ = 162 10⁻⁷ m

What is the difference between a circuit and a current?

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

a circuit is a complete loop that carries a current in the form of electrons from negative to positive

Explanation:

The difference between current and circuit is that a circuit is a complete loop that carries a current in the form of electrons from negative to positive .

In a circuit, there are difference elements or components such as the battery, wire, resistor. The goal of a circuit arrangement is to completely carry current from one end to another.

The current is the quantity of charge that flows within the circuit per unit of time.

So, the battery supplies the electromotive force to move the current round the circuit.
