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

A 740-kg boulder is raised from a quarry 119 m deep by a long uniform chain having a mass of 550 kg . This chain is of uniform s
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

A) the maximum acceleration the boulder can have and still get out of the quarry

B) how long does it take to be lifted out at maximum acceleration if it started from rest

Explanation:

A)

let +y is upward. look below at the free body diagram. the mass M refers to the combined mass of the boulder and chain.

the weight of the chain is:   w_{c} =m_{c} g   and maximum tension is T=2.50 m_{c} g=1.41*10^4N

total mass and weight is :

M =m_{c}+ m_{b} =740kg+550kg=1290 kg

w_{M} =1.2650*10^4N

∑F_{y} =ma_{y}

T-M_{g} =Ma_{y}

a_{y} =(t-M_{g} )/M=(2.50m_{c} -M_{g} )/M=(2.50.550kg-1290kg)(9.8m/s^2)/1290kg

=0.645m/s^2

B)

maximum acceleration

a_{y} =0.645m/s^2\\\\y-y_{0} =119m\\v_{0y} =0

using y-y_{0} =v_{oy} t+1/2(a_{y} )t^2

to solve for t

t=\sqrt{2(y-y_{0} )/a_{y} }

t=\sqrt{2(119m)/0.645m/s^2} =19.20s

The planet Mars has much less gravitational force that Earth. What would happen if you went to Mars?
vovangra [49]

gravitational force of planet exerted on its object near the surface is known as weight

so here we know that gravitational force of mars is much less than the gravitational force of Earth

So on the surface of mars the Weight of objects must be much less than the weight of object on surface of Earth

so here correct answer must be

<em>D. Your weight would decrease.</em>

The speed of a car is decreased uniformly from 30. meters per second to 10. meters per second in 4.0 seconds. What was the car's
masha68 [24]
Acceleration (magnitude anyway) = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Change in speed = (10 - 30) = -20 m/s

Time for the change = 4.0sec

Magnitude of acceleration = -20/4  =  <em>-5 m/s² </em>

Answer:    
Wien's law:    
λ_peak = b/T    
Wien's constant: b = 2.8977685(51)Ă—10â’3 m•K    
T = (5/9)[96 – 32) + 273 = 35.55 + 273 = 308.55 deg. K    
λ_peak = 2.8977685(51)Ă—10â’3 /308.55 = 9.39x10^-6 = 9.39 um
