A modern compact fluorescent lamp contains 1.4 mg of mercury (Hg). If each mercury atom in the lamp were to emit a single photon

Reika [66]

Answer:

A. 1.64 J

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find how many moles correspond to 1.4 mg of mercury. We have:

$n=\frac{m}{M_m}$

where

n is the number of moles

m = 1.4 mg = 0.0014 g is the mass of mercury

Mm = 200.6 g/mol is the molar mass of mercury

Substituting, we find

$n=\frac{0.0014 g}{200.6 g/mol}=7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol$

Now we have to find the number of atoms contained in this sample of mercury, which is given by:

$N=n N_A$

where

n is the number of moles

$N_A=6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1}$ is the Avogadro number

Substituting,

$N=(7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol)(6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1})=4.22\cdot 10^{18}$ atoms

The energy emitted by each atom (the energy of one photon) is

$E_1 = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda=508 nm=5.08\cdot 10^{-7}nm$ is the wavelength

Substituting,

$E_1 = \frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{5.08\cdot 10^{-7} m}=3.92\cdot 10^{-19} J$

And so, the total energy emitted by the sample is

$E=nE_1 = (4.22\cdot 10^{18} )(3.92\cdot 10^{-19}J)=1.64 J$

A diver is on a board 1.80 m above

Virty [35]

Answer:

v = 6.95 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A diver is on a board 1.80 m above the water, s = 1.8 m

The initial speed of the diver, u = 3.62 m/s

Let v is the speed with which she hit the water. It will move under the action of gravity. Using the equation of motion as follows :

$v^2-u^2=2gs\\\\v=\sqrt{u^2+2gs} \\\\v=\sqrt{(3.62)^2+2(9.8)(1.8)} \\\\v=6.95\ m/s$

So, she will hit the water with a speed of 6.95 m/s.

A drag racing car with a weight of 1600 lbf attains a speed of 270 mph in a quarter-mile race. Immediately after passing the tim

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

15.065ft

Explanation:

To solve this problem it is necessary to consider the aerodynamic concepts related to the Drag Force.

By definition the drag force is expressed as:

$F_D = -\frac{1}{2}\rho V^2 C_d A$

Where

$\rho$ is the density of the flow

V = Velocity

$C_d$ = Drag coefficient

A = Area

For a Car is defined the drag coefficient as 0.3, while the density of air in normal conditions is 1.21kg/m^3

For second Newton's Law the Force is also defined as,

$F=ma=m\frac{dV}{dt}$

Equating both equations we have:

$m\frac{dV}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2}\rho V^2 C_d A$

$m(dV)=-\frac{1}{2}\rho C_d A (dt)$

$\frac{1}{V^2 }(dV)=-\frac{1}{2m}\rho C_d A (dt)$

Integrating

$\int \frac{1}{V^2 }(dV)= - \int\frac{1}{2m}\rho C_d A (dt)$

$-\frac{1}{V}\big|^{V_f}_{V_i}=\frac{1}{2m}(\rho)C_d (\pi r^2) \Delta t$

Here,

$V_f = 60mph = 26.82m/s$

$V_i = 120.7m/s$

$m= 1600lbf = 725.747Kg$

$\rho = 1.21 kg/m^3$

$C_d = 0.3$

$\Delta t=7s$

Replacing:

$\frac{-1}{26.82}+\frac{1}{120.7} = \frac{1}{2(725.747)}(1.21)(0.3)(\pi r^2) (7)$

$-0.029 = -5.4997r^2$

$r = 2.2963m$

$d= r*2 = 4.592m \approx 15.065ft$
