Answer:

d) Law of Conservation of Energy

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy can only change from one form to another.

For multiple choice you can use an elimination method. If you remember the law then you know it's not A or C because "energy cannot be created nor destroyed", and it's not B because it has nothing to do with mass.

Hope this helps!

An object is held at an unknown height above Earth’s surface, where the acceleration due to gravity of the object is considered

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Options A and B.

Explanation:

Gravitational acceleration, initial height, intial speed and time are required to determine final speed. The option D is incorrect, since speed varies in time. Option C is dimentionally wrong.

The correct strategy is calculating the initial height from option B. Later, substituting time in equation A to derive an expression of the final velocity in terms of position. Hence, the required equations are options A and B.

A strong lightning bolt transfers an electric charge of about 31 C to Earth (or vice versa). How many electrons are transferred?

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

$m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g$

$n_e=1.935\times 10^{20}$ is the no. of electrons

Explanation:

Given:

quantity of charge transferred, $Q=31\ C$

No. of electrons in the given amount of charge:

As we have charge on one electron $1.602\times 10^{-19}\ C$

so,

$n_e=\frac{Q}{e}$

$n_e=\frac{31}{1.602\times 10^{-19}}$

$n_e=1.935\times 10^{20}$ is the no. of electrons

Now if each water molecules donates one electron:

Then we require $n=1.935\times 10^{20}$ molecules.

Now the no. of moles in this many molecules:

$n_m=\frac{n}{N_A}$

where

$N_A=6.022\times 10^{23}$ Avogadro No.

$n_m=\frac{1.935\times 10^{20}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}$

$n_m=3.213\times 10^{-4}\ moles$

We have molecular mass of water as M=18 g/mol.

So, the mass of water in the obtained moles:

$n_m=\frac{m}{M}$

where:

m = mass in gram

$3.213\times 10^{-4}=\frac{m}{18}$

$m=5.78\times 10^{-3}\ g$

How does increasing energy affect the amplitude of a wave?

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The amount of energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude of the wave

Explanation:

A high energy wave is characterized by a high amplitude; a low energy wave is characterized by a low amplitude. The energy imparted to a pulse will only affect the amplitude of that pulse.

Hope this helped!!!

What is the gauge pressure in Pascals inside a honey droplet of a 0.1 cm diameter? Assume that air is surrounding this droplet a

Vikki [24]

Answer:

The gauge pressure in Pascals inside a honey droplet is 416 Pa

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the honey droplet, D = 0.1 cm

radius of the honey droplet, R = 0.05 cm = 0.0005 m

surface tension of honey, γ = 0.052 N/m

Apply Laplace's law for a spherical membrane with two surfaces

Gauge pressure = P₁ - P₀ = 2 (2γ / r)

Where;

P₀ is the atmospheric pressure

Gauge pressure = 4γ / r

Gauge pressure = 4 (0.052) / (0.0005)

Gauge pressure = 416 Pa

Therefore, the gauge pressure in Pascals inside a honey droplet is 416 Pa
