in cgs system, plank's constant= h=6.626 x10⁻²⁶ erg s
Value of Plank's constant in SI system= 6.626 x10⁻³⁴ Js
now 1 Joule= 10⁷ ergs
so h= 6.626 x10⁻³⁴ Js (10⁷ ergs/1J)
h=6.626 x10⁻²⁷ erg s
Radio waves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than microwaves.
infrared is longer wavelengths and lower frequencies than UV light
Answer: B
Explanation:
The top number is its atomic number, also known as the number of protons in the atom.
The bottom number is the atomic mass, which is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons.
Answer:
W=1055N
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem, we must first do a drawing of the situation so we can visualize theh problem better. (See attached picture)
In this problem, we will ignore the board's weight. As we can see in the free body diagram of the board, there are only three forces acting on the system and we can say the system is in vertical equilibrium, so from this we can say that:
so we can do the sum now:
when solving for the Weight W, we get:
and now we can substitute the given data, so we get:
W=410N+645N
W=1055N
The complete question is;
James Joule (after whom the unit of energy is named) claimed that the water at the bottom of Niagara Falls should be warmer than the water at the top, 51 m above the bottom. He reasoned that the falling water would transform its gravitational potential energy at the top into thermal energy at the bottom, where turbulence brings the water almost to a halt. If this transformation is the only process occurring, how much warmer will the water at the bottom be?
Answer:
Water becomes warmer by a temperature of ΔT = 0.119 K
Explanation:
If we assume that gravitational kinetic energy will be converyrf into thermal enrgy, we will have;
Q = U
So, m•c_w•ΔT = mgh
Where;
c_w is specific heat capacity of water with a value of 4184 J/Kg.K
ΔT is change in temperature indicating how warmer the water will be. Thus making ΔT the subject, we have;
ΔT = gh/c_w
So, ΔT = 9.8 x 51/4184 = 0.119 K
