Answer:

B followed by D

Explanation:

The heat energy absorbed at B goes into potential energy that breaks the inter-molecular bonds and thus the constant temperature. Once the molecules have gained enough energy they escape the closely bonded structure and thus are free to move in random directions due to high kinetic energy. At this point (part D) an increase in heat energy leads to an increase in the kinetic energy leading to an increase in the temperature.

Which of these pairs of atoms are isotpoes? (Physical Science) Pair A Pair B Pair C # protons 6 8 5 2 12 12 # neutrons 8 8 5 3 1

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

I guess that the atoms are:

Protons: 6 8 5 2 12 12

Neutrons: 8 8 5 3 13 14

Now, two atoms are isotopes if they share the same number of protons (so both atoms are the same element) but they have a different number of neutrons.

From the given options, the only two that have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons are:

Protons 12, neutrons 13

and

Protons 12, neutrons 14.

These two are isiotopes.

A 10-cm-long spring is attached to theceiling. When a 2.0 kg mass is hung from it,the spring stretches to a length of 15 cm.a.Wh

alekssr [168]

(a) 392 N/m

Hook's law states that:

$F=k\Delta x$ (1)

where

F is the force exerted on the spring

k is the spring constant

$\Delta x$ is the stretching/compression of the spring

In this problem:

- The force exerted on the spring is equal to the weight of the block attached to the spring:

$F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N$

- The stretching of the spring is

$\Delta x=15 cm-10 cm=5 cm=0.05 m$

Solving eq.(1) for k, we find the spring constant:

$k=\frac{F}{\Delta x}=\frac{19.6 N}{0.05 m}=392 N/m$

(b) 17.5 cm

If a block of m = 3.0 kg is attached to the spring, the new force applied is

$F=mg=(3.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=29.4 N$

And so, the stretch of the spring is

$\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{29.4 N}{392 N/m}=0.075 m=7.5 cm$

And since the initial lenght of the spring is

$x_0 = 10 cm$

The final length will be

$x_f = x_0 +\Delta x=10 cm+7.5 cm=17.5 cm$

g (12 points) The time between incoming phone calls at a call center is a random variable with exponential density p(x) = 1 r e

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

$(1)p(x)\geq 0\\(2)\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x) dx=0$

Explanation:

A function f(x) is a Probability Density Function if it satisfies the following conditions:

$(1)f(x)\geq 0\\(2)\int_{0}^{\infty} f(x) dx=0$

Given the function:

$p(x)=\dfrac{1}{r}e^{-x/r} \: on\: [0,\infty), where\:r=\dfrac{20}{ln(2)}$

(1)p(x) is greater than zero since the range of exponents of the Euler's number will lie in $[0,\infty).$

(2)

$\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x)=\int_{0}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{r}e^{-x/r}\\=\dfrac{1}{r} \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{-x/r}\\=-\dfrac{r}{r}\left[e^{-x/r}\right]_{0}^{\infty}\\=-\left[e^{-\infty/r}-e^{-0/r}\right]\\=-e^{-\infty}+e^{-0}\\SInce \: e^{-\infty} \rightarrow 0\\e^{-0}=1\\\int_{0}^{\infty} p(x)=1$
