On land, coal is transported primarily by train. A typical large coal train may be about 1.5 km long and may consist of 120 cars

, each holding 110 tonnes of coal. As each tonne of coal has an equivalent energy content (in terms of the stored chemical energy it contains), a moving coal train represents a flow of (chemical) energy or a power. For a coal train traveling at 100 km/h. Calculate the equivalent power in watts.

Answer:

equivalent power = 6.60 × $10^{12}$ W

Explanation:

given data

coal train length = 1.5 km = 1500 m

contain = 120 cars

holding= 110 tonnes of coal each

train traveling speed = 100 km/h = 27.78 m/s

to find out

equivalent power in watts

solution

we take here energy produce by coal is 27 × $10^{6}$ J/kg

and here total coal = 120 × 110 × 10³ kg

sop here energy produce by total coal is

energy produce by total coal = 27 × $10^{6}$ × 120 × 110 × 10³

and time required to cross that distance is

time = $\frac{distance}{speed}$

time = $\frac{1500}{27.78}$

time = 53.99 sec

so here equivalent power will be

equivalent power = $\frac{energy}{time}$

equivalent power = $\frac{27*10^6*120*110*10^3}{53.99}$

equivalent power = 6.60 × $10^{12}$ W

Is it possible to have a charge of 5 x 10-20 C? Why?

ruslelena [56]

1) No

2) Yes

3) No

4) Equal and opposite

5) 32400 N

6) Repulsive

7) The electric force is $2.3\cdot 10^{39}$ times bigger than the gravitational force

Explanation:

1)

In nature, the minimum possible charge that an object can have is the charge of the electron, which is called fundamental charge:

$e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

Electrons are indivisible particles (they cannot be separated), this means that an object can have at least the charge equal to the charge of one electron (in fact, it cannot have a charge less than $e$ , because it would meant that the object has a "fractional number" of electrons).

In this problem, the object has a charge of

$Q=5\cdot 10^{-20}C$

If we compare this value to $e$ , we notice that $Q$ , so no object can have a charge of $Q$ .

2)

As we said in part 1), an object should have an integer number of electrons in order to be charged.

This means that the charge of an object must be an integer multiple of the fundamental charge, so we can write it as:

$Q=ne$

where

Q is the charge of the object

n is an integer multiple

e is the fundamental charge

Here we have

$Q=2.4\cdot 10^{-18}C$

Substituting the value of e, we find n:

$n=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{2.4\cdot 10^{-18}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=15$

n is integer, so this value of the charge is possible.

3)

We now do the same procedure for the new object in this part, which has a charge of

$Q=2.0\cdot 10^{-19}C$

Again, the charge on this object can be written as

$Q=ne$

where

n is the number of electrons in the object

Using the value of the fundamental charge,

$e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

We find:

$n=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{2.0\cdot 10^{-19}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=1.25$

n is not integer, so this value of charge is not possible, since an object cannot have a fractional number of electrons.

4)

To solve this part, we use Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (Action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (reaction force)".

In this problem, we have two objects:

- A charge Q

- A charge 5Q

Charge Q exerts an electric force on charge 5Q, and we can call this action force. At the same time, charge 5Q exerts an electric force on charge Q (reaction force), and according to Newton's 3rd law, the two forces are equal and opposite.

5)

The magnitude of the electric force between two single-point charges is

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem we have:

$q_1=+4.5\cdot 10^{-6}C$ is charge 1

$q_2=+7.2\cdot 10^{-6}C$ is charge 2

r = 0.30 cm = 0.003 m is the separation

So, the electric force between the two charges is

$F=(9\cdot 10^9)\frac{(4.5\cdot 10^{-6})(7.2\cdot 10^{-6})}{(0.003)^2}=32400 N$

6)

The electric force between two charged objects has direction as follows:

- If the two objects have charges of opposite signs (+ and -), the force between them is attractive

- If the two objects have charges of same sign (++ or --), the force between them is repulsive

In this problem, the two charges are:

$q_1=+4.5\cdot 10^{-6}C$ is charge 1

$q_2=+7.2\cdot 10^{-6}C$ is charge 2

We see that the two charges have same sign: therefore, the force between them is repulsive.

7)

The electric force between the proton and the electron in the atom can be written as

$F_E=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

$q_1 = q_2 = e = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the magnitude of the charge of the proton and of the electron

$r=5.3\cdot 10^{-11} m$ is the separation between them

So the force can be rewritten as

$F_E=\frac{ke^2}{r^2}$

The gravitational force between the proton and the electron can be written as

$F_G=G\frac{m_p m_e}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

$m_p = 1.67\cdot 10^{-27}kg$ is the proton mass

$m_e=9.11\cdot 10^{-27}kg$ is the electron mass

Comparing the 2 forces,

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{ke^2}{Gm_p m_e}=\frac{(9\cdot 10^9)(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})^2}{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(1.67\cdot 10^{-27})(9.11\cdot 10^{-31})}=2.3\cdot 10^{39}$

) Music. When a person sings, his or her vocal cords vibrate in a repetitive pattern that has the same frequency as the note tha

vaieri [72.5K]

(a) 0.0021 s, 2926.5 rad/s

The frequency of the B note is

$f= 466 Hz$

The time taken to make one complete cycle is equal to the period of the wave, which is the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{466 Hz}=0.0021 s$

The angular frequency instead is given by

$\omega = 2\pi f$

And substituting

f = 466 Hz

We find

$\omega = 2\pi (466 Hz)=2926.5 rad/s$

(b) 20 Hz, 125.6 rad/s

In this case, the period of the sound wave is

T = 50.0 ms = 0.050 s

So the frequency is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

$f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{0.050 s}=20 Hz$

While the angular frequency is given by:

$\omega = 2\pi f = 2 \pi (20 Hz)=125.6 rad/s$

(c) $4.30\cdot 10^{14} Hz, 7.48\cdot 1^{14} Hz, 2.33\cdot 10^{-15} s, 1.34\cdot 10^{-15}s$

The minimum angular frequency of the light wave is

$\omega_1 = 2.7\cdot 10^{15}rad/s$

so the corresponding frequency is

$f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi}=\frac{2.7\cdot 10^{15}rad/s}{2\pi}=4.30\cdot 10^{14} Hz$

and the period is the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{4.30\cdot 10^{14}Hz}=2.33\cdot 10^{-15}s$

The maximum angular frequency of the light wave is

$\omega_2 = 4.7\cdot 10^{15}rad/s$

so the corresponding frequency is

$f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi}=\frac{4.7\cdot 10^{15}rad/s}{2\pi}=7.48\cdot 10^{14} Hz$

and the period is the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{7.48\cdot 10^{14}Hz}=1.34\cdot 10^{-15}s$

(d) $2.0\cdot 10^{-7}s, 3.14\cdot 10^{7} rad/s$

In this case, the frequency is

$f=5.0 MHz = 5.0 \cdot 10^6 Hz$

So the period in this case is

$T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{5.0\cdot 10^6 Hz}=2.0 \cdot 10^{-7} s$

While the angular frequency is given by

$\omega = 2\pi f=2 \pi (5.0\cdot 10^{6}Hz)=3.14\cdot 10^{7} rad/s$

Which of the following is a false statement about dispersion forces? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following is a false st

icang [17]

Explanation :

Dispersion forces are also known as London dispersion forces. It is the weakest force. Also, it is the part of the Van der Waals forces.

(1) This force is exhibited by all atoms and molecules.

(2) These forces are the result of the fluctuations in the electron distribution within molecules or atoms. Due to these fluctuations, the electric field is created. The magnitude of this force is explained in terms of Hamaker constant 'A'.

(3) Dispersion forces result from the formation of instantaneous dipoles in a molecule or atom. When electrons are more concentrated in a place, instantaneous dipoles formed.

(4) Dispersion force magnitude depends on the amount of surface area available for interactions. If the area increases, the size of the atom also increase. As a result, stronger dispersion forces.

So, the false statement is "Dispersion forces always have a greater magnitude in molecules with a greater molar mass".
