Answer:

<h3>a.</h3>
  • After it has traveled through 1 cm : I(1 \ cm) = 0.5488 I_0
  • After it has traveled through 2 cm : I(2 \ cm) = 0.3012 I_0
<h3>b.</h3>
  • After it has traveled through 1 cm : od( 1\ cm) =  0.2606
  • After it has traveled through 2 cm :  od( 2\ cm) =  0.5211

Explanation:

<h2>a.</h2>

For this problem, we can use the Beer-Lambert law. For constant attenuation coefficient \mu the formula is:

I(x) = I_0 e^{-\mu x}

where I is the intensity of the beam, I_0 is the incident intensity and x is the length of the material traveled.

For our problem, after travelling 1 cm:

I(1 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6 \frac{1}{cm} \ 1 cm}

I(1 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6}

I(1 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6}

I(1 \ cm) = 0.5488 \ I_0

After travelling 2 cm:

I(2 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6 \frac{1}{cm} \ 2 cm}

I(2 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 1.2}

I(2 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 1.2}

I(2 \ cm) = 0.3012 \ I_0

<h2>b</h2>

The optical density od is given by:

od(x) = - log_{10} ( \frac{I(x)}{I_0} ).

So, after travelling 1 cm:

od( 1\ cm) = - log_{10} ( \frac{0.5488 \ I_0}{I_0} )

od( 1\ cm) = - log_{10} ( 0.5488 )

od( 1\ cm) = - (  - 0.2606)

od( 1\ cm) =  0.2606

After travelling 2 cm:

od( 2\ cm) = - log_{10} ( \frac{0.3012 \ I_0}{I_0} )

od( 2\ cm) = - log_{10} ( 0.3012 )

od( 2\ cm) = - (  - 0.5211)

od( 2\ cm) =  0.5211

By how much does the volume of an aluminum cube 4.00 cm on an edge increase when the cube is heated from 19.0°C to 67.0°C? The l
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

The volume of an aluminum cube is 0.212 cm³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Edge of cube = 4.00 cm

Initial temperature = 19.0°C

Final temperature = 67.0°C

linear expansion coefficient \alpha=23.0\times10^{-6}/C^{\circ}

We need to calculate the volume expansion coefficient

Using formula of  volume expansion coefficient

\beta=3\alpha

Put the value into the formula

\beta=3\times23.0\times10^{-6}

\beta=0.000069=69\times10^{-6}/C^{\circ}

We need to calculate the volume

V= a^3

V=4^3

V=64\ cm^3

The change temperature of the cube is

\Delta T=T_{f}-T_{i}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta T=67-19 = 48^{\circ}C

We need to calculate the increases volume

Using formula of increases volume

\Delta V=V\beta\Delta T

Put the value into the formula

\Delta V=64\times69\times10^{-6}\times48

\Delta V=0.212\ cm^3

Hence, The volume of an aluminum cube is 0.212 cm³.

Dinosaurs’ skeletons can be distinguished from those of other reptiles by the structure of the hips and legs.
jeyben [28]
True, they had a hole in their hip socket that allowed them to run faster than other reptiles of their size at the time. As well as most reptiles besides reptiles had legs to the side, rather than under them like dinosaurs did.

Hope this helps!

A 1.5m wire carries a 7 A current when a potential difference of 68 V is applied. What is the resistance of the wire?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Working...

length of wire L = 1.5 m

current I = 7 A

potential difference V = 68 Volt

According to Ohm's Law

V = IR

R = V/I

R = 68/7

R = 9.7 Ω

A mover applies a net force of 28 N to a sofa that has a mass of 70 kg.
Alinara [238K]

Answer: .4 m/s^2= acceleration

Explanation:

f = m*a

We can rearrange this equation to solve for acceleration. Therefore,

a=f/m

a= 28N/70kg

a= 0.4 m/s^2
