The ammonia molecule (NH3) has a dipole moment of 5.0×10?30C?m. Ammonia molecules in the gas phase are placed in a uniform elect

ric field E? with magnitude 1.8×106 N/C .
At what absolute temperature T is the average translational kinetic energy 32kT of a molecule equal to the change in potential energy calculated in part (a)? (Note: Above this temperature, thermal agitation prevents the dipoles from aligning with the electric field.)

Question (continuation)

(a) What is the change in electric potential energy when the dipole moment of a molecule changes its orientation with respect to E S from parallel to perpendicular?

(b) At what absolute temperature T is the average translational kinetic energy 3/2kT of a molecule equal to the change in potential energy calculated in part (a)?

Answer:

a. 9.0 * 10^-24 Joules

b. 0.44K

Explanation:

Given

Let p = dipole moment = 5.0 * 10^-30 Cm

Let E = Magnitude = 1.8 * 10^6 N/m

a.

The charge in electric potential = Final Charge - Initial Charge

Initial Charge = Potential Energy

Initial Energy = -pE cosФ where Ф = 0

So, initial Energy = - 5.0 * 10^-30 * 1.8 * 10^6

Initial Energy = -9 * 10^-24 Joules

Final Energy = 0

Charge = 0 - (-9.0 * 10^-24)

Charge = 9.0 * 10^-24 Joules

b.

Absolute Temperature

Change in Kinetic Energy = Change in Potential Energy = 9.0 * 10^-24

Change in Kinetic Energy = 3/2kT where k is Steven-Boltzmann constant = 1.38 * 10^-23

So,

9.0 * 10^-24 = 3/2 * 1.38 * 10^-23 * T

T = (9.0 * 10^-24 * 2)/(3 * 1.38 * 10^-23)

T = (18 * 10^-24)/(4.14 * 10^-23)

T = 0.44K

The difference between relational and reactive aggression is that relational aggression is ______, whereas reactive aggression i
givi [52]

Answer:

Social, physical behavior

Explanation:

The relational aggression is the aggression which caused or give to person by doing harm to his or her relationship or social image.

Reactive aggression is the aggression which is caused by threatening someone, or caused by provocation, or caused due to frustration.

Therefore, the basic  differentiation in  between both the aggression is that relational aggression is caused by by damaging social status whereas reactive aggression is caused through physical behavior.

an electrical generator is an important component in a power plant. which best shows the energy transfer diagram for a generator
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:The answer is B

Explanation:

A generator produces electricity. Energy enters the system (generator) as kinetic energy. It is converted into electrical energy, which can run electrical appliances. Some energy is always wasted as heat and sound. Therefore, Choice B is the best answer.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

 λ = 3 10⁻⁷ m,   UV laser

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the expression

         a sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

         tan θ = y / L

as in this phenomenon the angles are small

        tan θ = \frac{sin \ \theta}{cos \ \theta} = sin θ

        sin θ = y / L

we substitute

      a y / L = m  λ

let's apply this equation to the initial data

       a  0.04 / L = 1 600 10⁻⁹

       a / L = 1.5 10⁻⁵

now they tell us that we change the laser and we have y = 0.04 m for m = 2

      a 0.04 / L = 2  λ

       a / L = 50  λ

we solve the two expression is

         1.5 10⁻⁵ = 50  λ

          λ = 1.5 10⁻⁵ / 50

          λ = 3 10⁻⁷ m
