An oxygen atom at a particular site within a DNA molecule can be made to execute simple harmonic motion when illuminated by infr

ared light. The oxygen atom is bound with a spring-like chemical bond to a phosphorus atom, which is rigidly attached to the DNA backbone. The oscillation of the oxygen atom occurs with frequency fO=3.7×1013Hz.

Answer:

The frequency of the sulphur is 2.6×10^13 Hz.

We find the frequency of the sulphur because sulphur is just below the oxygen atom in the periodic table. So, we find it by using the frequency of the oxygen.

Explanation:

As, the frequency in terms of spring constant and mass is :

f = (1/2π) × √(k/m)

k is the spring constant and m is the mass.

Square on both sides of the equation and it becomes then,

f^2 = (1/4π^2) × (k/m)

f^2×m = k/4π^2

Now, we will solve it with oxygen and sulphur because the oxygen atom is chemically replaced with a sulphur atom, the spring constant of the bond is unchanged so, the relation between fo and fs is:

<h3>fo^2×mo = fs^2×ms</h3>

As, fo is the frequency of the oxygen and fs is the frequency of the sulphur atom and mo is the mass of the oxygen and ms is the mass of the sulphur.

So,

fs^2 = (fo^2×mo) / ms

fs = fo×√(mo/ms)

As, we also know the mass of the oxygen and sulphur which is 16amu and 32amu:

fs = (3.7×10^13) × √(16/32)

fs = (3.7×10^13) × 1/√2

fs = 2.6×10^13 Hz.

Therefore, the frequency is: 2.6×10^13 Hz.

During conduction, thermal energy is transferred
Serga [27]

Answer:

from fast-moving to slow-moving particles during particle collisions.

Explanation:

The molecules in every substance are constantly in random motion, which is called thermal motion. This means that they continuously move in random directions with random velocities. In particular, their speed depends on the temperature of the substance: the higher the temperature, the higher the average kinetic energy of the particles, the higher their speed.

However, not all particles move with same speed: some of them move faster, some of them move slower.

Since there are many particles, quite often these particles collide with each other: in the collision, energy is transferred from one particle to another.

In conduction, which is one of the 3 methods of heat transfer (the other 2 being conduction and radiation), the heat is transferred via collision between the molecules.

In particular, according to the laws of thermodynamics, energy is always transferred from particles moving faster (which have therefore more energy) to particles moving slower (which have therefore less energy).

So the correct answer is

from fast-moving to slow-moving particles during particle collisions.

A challenge scientists face with this process is the use of ultrathin iron oxide, to pull protons off water and produce hydrogen gas, which itself is a poor electrical conductor.

A copper wire 225m long must experience a voltage drop of less than 2.0v when a current of 3.5 a passes through it. compute the
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

V = I * R

R = 2 / 3.5 = .571 ohms     maximum resistance of wire

R = ρ L / A  where R is proportional to L and inversely proportional to A

A = ρ L / R     minimum area of wire

ρ = 1 / μ  =     1.67E-8 ohm-m      resistivity inverse of conductivity

A = 1.67E-8 ohm-m * 225 m / .571 ohm = 6.68E-6 m^2

A = 6.68 mm^2       since 1 mm^2 = 10-6 m^2   or 1 mm = 10-3 m

A = Π r^2 = 6.68 mm^2

r = (6.68 / 3.14)^1/2 mm = 2.13 mm      radius of wire

d = 2 * r = 4.26 mm
