Suppose you are on an airplane moving at high speed. If you flip a coin straight up it will land in your lap rather than a great

distance behind you. Explain why this is true and include any laws that help prove your point.

It will land in your lap because there's different frames of motion relative to yourself. For example, if you're running at a speed of 6 mph, it doesn't mean you'll run as fast as the Earth spins. Also, since you're on the interior of the plane, any kind of wind or weather on the outside will not affect the coin. A law to back up this claim is Einsteins Special Law of Relativity.

You don't need relativity to explain this. Only good old Newtonian mechanics. You are moving horizontally at high speed. You're holding the coin in your hand so the coin is also moving horizontally at high speed. If you toss it up temporarily it continues moving horizontally just like your lap.

Yuri [45]
Longitudinal waves have energy that vibrates parallel to the medium - a compression is the region of greatest density and the rarefaction the region of highest density .The rarefaction (much like the maximum amplitude in a transverse wave) has a region of lowest density, typically situated in the exact center of the region.

True or false?
Ksju [112]

1. False

Explanation: it's exactly the opposite. In fact, Lenz's law states that the induced current and the induced emf in a conductor are generated in such a direction that opposes to the change in magnetic flux through the coil. This is summarized by the negative sign in the Faraday's Newmann Lenz law:

\epsilon= -\frac{d\Phi }{dt}

where \epsilon is the emf induced and \frac{d\Phi}{dt} is the rate of change of magnetic flux through the coil.

Lenz's law is a consequence of the law of conservation of energy. In fact, we have:

- If the magnetic flux through a coil is increasing, then the induced current has a direction such that the magnetic field generated by the coil is opposite to the direction of the external magnetic field, in order to decrease the total flux

- If the magnetic flux through a coil is decreasing, then the induced current has a direction such that the magnetic field generated by the coil is in the same direction as the external field, in order to increase the total flux

2. False

Explanation: the magnetic flux through a surface is given by

\Phi = BA cos \theta

where

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

A is the surface area

\theta is the angle between the direction of B and the normal vector to the surface

As we see, the magnetic flux depends not only on B and A, but also on the orientation of the coil with respect to the magnetic field.

3. False

Explanation:

- Sound waves are mechanical waves: mechanical waves are waves consisting of oscillations of the particles in a medium. Due to their nature, therefore, mechanical waves can propagate only in the presence of a medium

- Electromagnetic waves are NOT mechanical waves: they consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Since em waves are not mechanical waves, they do NOT need a medium to propagate, since they can also travel through a vacuum; therefore the original statement is false.

When 0.511 g of sodium metal is added to an excess of hydrochloric acid, 5310 J of heat are produced. What is the enthalpy of th
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The the enthalpy of the reaction is 241.36 KJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of sodium = 0.511 g

We need to calculate the number of moles

Using formula of moles

moles=\dfrac{given\ mass}{molar\ mass}

moles=\dfrac{0.511}{23}

moles= 0.022

We need to calculate the energy in 1 mole

In 0.022 moles of sodium metal = 5310 J

In 1 moles of sodium metal =\dfrac{5310}{0.022}

The Energy in 1 moles of sodium is 241363.63 J.

Hence, The the enthalpy of the reaction is 241.36 KJ.
