What is a mass spectrometer? How does it work?

Physics
1 answer:
ZanzabumX [31]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that measures the mass-to-charge ratio of ions. The results are typically presented as a mass spectrum, a plot of intensity as a function of the mass-to-charge ratio.

Explanation:

Tip your bucket into a mass spectrometer. It turns the atoms into ions Then it will separate the ions by passing them first through an electric field, then through a magnetic field, so they fan out into a spectrum

Why do we add alcohol/ethanol to the leaf once it is boiled?
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Complete answer: We boil the leaf in alcohol when we are checking it for starch to eradicate chlorophyll, which is the green pigment present in leaves. ... Hence to dissolve the chlorophyll or the green pigment present in the leaf we boil the leaf in alcohol when we are testing it for starch.

Hope this helps! Have a great day!

Let surface S be the boundary of the solid object enclosed by x^2+z^2=4, x+y=6, x=0, y=0, and z=0. and, let f(x,y,z)=(3x)i+(x+y+
babunello [35]

a. I've attached a plot of the surface. Each face is parameterized by

• \mathbf s_1(x,y)=x\,\mathbf i+y\,\mathbf j with 0\le x\le2 and 0\le y\le6-x;

• \mathbf s_2(u,v)=u\cos v\,\mathbf i+u\sin v\,\mathbf k with 0\le u\le2 and 0\le v\le\frac\pi2;

• \mathbf s_3(y,z)=y\,\mathbf j+z\,\mathbf k with 0\le y\le 6 and 0\le z\le2;

• \mathbf s_4(u,v)=u\cos v\,\mathbf i+(6-u\cos v)\,\mathbf j+u\sin v\,\mathbf k with 0\le u\le2 and 0\le v\le\frac\pi2; and

• \mathbf s_5(u,y)=2\cos u\,\mathbf i+y\,\mathbf j+2\sin u\,\mathbf k with 0\le u\le\frac\pi2 and 0\le y\le6-2\cos u.

b. Assuming you want outward flux, first compute the outward-facing normal vectors for each face.

\mathbf n_1=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_1}{\partial y}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_1}{\partial x}=-\mathbf k

\mathbf n_2=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_2}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_2}{\partial v}=-u\,\mathbf j

\mathbf n_3=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_3}{\partial z}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_3}{\partial y}=-\mathbf i

\mathbf n_4=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_4}{\partial v}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_4}{\partial u}=u\,\mathbf i+u\,\mathbf j

\mathbf n_5=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_5}{\partial y}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_5}{\partial u}=2\cos u\,\mathbf i+2\sin u\,\mathbf k

Then integrate the dot product of <em>f</em> with each normal vector over the corresponding face.

\displaystyle\iint_{S_1}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^{6-x}f(x,y,0)\cdot\mathbf n_1\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx

=\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{6-x}0\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx=0

\displaystyle\iint_{S_2}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\mathbf f(u\cos v,0,u\sin v)\cdot\mathbf n_2\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du

\displaystyle=\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}-u^2(2\sin v+\cos v)\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du=-8

\displaystyle\iint_{S_3}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^6\mathbf f(0,y,z)\cdot\mathbf n_3\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz

=\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^60\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz=0

\displaystyle\iint_{S_4}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\mathbf f(u\cos v,6-u\cos v,u\sin v)\cdot\mathbf n_4\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du

=\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}-u^2(2\sin v+\cos v)\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du=\frac{40}3+6\pi

\displaystyle\iint_{S_5}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\int_0^{6-2\cos u}\mathbf f(2\cos u,y,2\sin u)\cdot\mathbf n_5\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm du

=\displaystyle\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\int_0^{6-2\cos u}12\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm du=36\pi-24

c. You can get the total flux by summing all the fluxes found in part b; you end up with 42π - 56/3.

Alternatively, since <em>S</em> is closed, we can find the total flux by applying the divergence theorem.

\displaystyle\iint_S\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\iiint_R\mathrm{div}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dV

where <em>R</em> is the interior of <em>S</em>. We have

\mathrm{div}\mathbf f(x,y,z)=\dfrac{\partial(3x)}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial(x+y+2z)}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial(3z)}{\partial z}=7

The integral is easily computed in cylindrical coordinates:

\begin{cases}x(r,t)=r\cos t\\y(r,t)=6-r\cos t\\z(r,t)=r\sin t\end{cases},0\le r\le 2,0\le t\le\dfrac\pi2

\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\int_0^{6-r\cos t}7r\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dt\,\mathrm dr=42\pi-\frac{56}3

as expected.

Why it is advise to clean the ends of connecting wires before connecting them?
Svetradugi [14.3K]
If dirt and grease were good conductors of electrical current, then we could make wire
out of dirt and grease instead of expensive copper.  Sadly, they're not. So a coating of
dirt and grease on the wire can have a substantial impact on the connection, and can
even block the flow of current across the connection completely.  Moreover, in the case
where the ends of the wires are to be soldered, solder does not adhere to dirty wire.

Describe the Compton Effect​
Nana76 [90]
<h3>Compton scattering, discovered by Arthur Holly Compton, is the scattering of a photon after an interaction with a charged particle, usually an electron. If it results in a decrease in energy of the photon, it is called the Compton effect. Part of the energy of the photon is transferred to the recoiling electron.</h3>
