Yeast breaking down starch into usable energy ____________ law of thermodynamics.

Anon25 [30]

<span>First law of thermodynamics. This conservation law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form to another. In essence, energy is always conserved but can be converted from one form into another. Like when an engine burns fuel, it converts the energy stored in the fuel's chemical bonds into useful mechanical energy and then into heat, or more specifically, the melting ice cubes. Yeast breaks down maltose into glucose to produce alcohol and Co2 in the fermentation process. This is a prime example of the 1st law of thermodynamics. No form of usable energy is really lost; it only changes from one form to another</span>

An oven uses 4500 watts of power in 2 minutes, how much work was done?

jolli1 [7]

First of all we state the formula
Power=work done/time
we can rearrange this formula as well
work done=power x time

Since the SI unit of time is in seconds we change the minutes to seconds
2mins= 60x2 = 120 seconds

Using our formula (work done=power x time) we simply put in the values
work done = 4500 x 120
work done = 540,000J

Calculate the de broglie wavelength (in picometers) of a hydrogen atom traveling at 440 m/s.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

De broglie wavelength, $\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}$ , where h is the Planck's constant, m is the mass and v is the velocity.

$h = 6.63*10^{-34}$

Mass of hydrogen atom, $m = 1.67*10^{-27}kg$

v = 440 m/s

Substituting

Wavelength $\lambda = \frac{h}{mv} = \frac{6.63*10^{-34}}{1.67*10^{-27}*440} = 0.902 *10^{-9}m = 902 *10^{-12}m$

$1 pm = 10^{-12}m\\ \\ So , \lambda =902 pm$

So the de broglie wavelength (in picometers) of a hydrogen atom traveling at 440 m/s is 902 pm

A parallel-plate air capacitor is made from two plates 0.210 m square, spaced 0.815 cm apart. it is connected to a 120 v battery

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

at the beginning: $2.3\cdot 10^{-10} F$

when the plates are pulled apart: $1.1\cdot 10^{-10} F$

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by

$C=k \epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}$

where

k is the relative permittivity of the medium (for air, k=1, so we can omit it)

$\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m$ is the permittivity of free space

A is the area of the plates of the capacitor

d is the separation between the plates

In this problem, we have:

$A=0.210 m^2$ is the area of the plates

$d=0.815 cm=8.15\cdot 10^{-3} m$ is the separation between the plates at the beginning

Substituting into the formula, we find

$C=(1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)\frac{0.210 m^2}{8.15\cdot 10^{-3} m}=2.3\cdot 10^{-10} F$

Later, the plates are pulled apart to $d=1.63 cm=0.0163 m$ , so the capacitance becomes

$C=(1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)\frac{0.210 m^2}{0.0163 m}=1.1\cdot 10^{-10} F$

The diagram shows four paths from point A to point B.

iVinArrow [24]

Path 2.

Displacement is the direction and magnitude of an object from its starting point, so path 2 is the direct route you would need to take to find direction and magnitude.
