Answer:

N=3176.5rulling

Explanation:

We were told that the source containing a mixture of hydrogen and deuterium atoms emits light with

wavelengths whose mean is 540 nm

Then λ= 540 nm, but we need to convert to metre which = (540× 10⁻⁹m)

Also whose separation is 0.170 nm, which mean the difference between the wavelength is 0.170 nm then

Δ λ = 0.170 nm the we convert to metre we have. Δλ= 0.170 nm= (0.170×10⁻⁹m)

the formular below can be used to can be used to calculate our minimum number of lines

N= λ /(m Δλ)

Where N is number of fillings i.e number of lines

λ= wavelength

Δλ= difference in wavelength

m=1

Then if we substitute the values we have

,N= (540× 10⁻⁹ m)/[(1)*(0.170× 10⁻⁹m)]

N =3176.5rulling

Therefore, minimum number of lines = =3176.5rulling

A ball of 10kg falls from rest from a height of 150m, Neglating air resistance, calculate its kinetic energy after falling a dis
GaryK [48]

Answer: 3920\ J

Explanation:

Given

mass of ball m=10 kg

It is placed at a height of 150 m

It is dropped from the height and allowed to free fall for 40 m

Velocity acquired by the ball during this fall is given by v^2-u^2=2as

Insert u=0, a=g

\Rightarrow v^2-0=2\times 9.8\times 40\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{784}\\\Rightarrow v=28\ m/s

Kinetic energy at this instant

K.E.=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10\times 28^2\\\\\Rightarrow K.E.=3920\ J

When a gas is rapidly compressed (say, by pushing down a piston) its temperature increases. When a gas expands against a piston,
shusha [124]

Answer:

Explained in explanation

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system(ΔU) is equal to the sum of the net heat transfer into the system(Q) and the net work done on the system(W). In equation, this law is;

ΔU = Q + W

Now, when there's gas inside a container with a movable piston that's tightly fitting, we will assume that the piston can move up and down thereby compressing the gas or allowing the gas to expand against it.

Now these gas molecules inside the container possess kinetic energy. Thus, the internal energy(U) of the system is simply the sum of all the kinetic energies of the individual gas molecules present in the container.

Therefore, if the temperature(T) of the gas increases, then the speed and internal energy(U) of the gas molecules will also increase. In the same way, if the temperature of the gas decreases, the speed and internal energy of the gas molecules would also decrease.

Now, back to the question, when the piston is pushed down, it does work on the gas and the gas does negative work on the piston. Thus, the gas will be get compressed to a smaller space, and thereby making the gas molecules to hit the piston at a faster rate. Thus, there is a decrease in speed and as we saw earlier that when there is a decrease in speed, it means temperature has decreased.

Whereas, when the piston is moved up, the gas does positive work on the piston and the speed of the gas molecules will increase. Like I said earlier that increase in speed means increase in temperature.

A) Define rest and motion?​
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Rest - a body is said to be at rest, if it does not change its position with respect to its surrounding with time. Motion - a body is said to be at motion, if it changes its position with time.

A mass attached to a vertical spring causes the spring to stretch and the mass to move downwards. What can you say about the pot
poizon [28]

Complete Question

A mass attached to a vertical spring causes the spring to stretch and the mass to move downwards. What can you say about the spring's potential energy Us and the gravitational potential energy Ug of the mass?

A. both Us and Ug decrease

B. Us increases and Ug decreases

C Both Us and Ug increase

D Us decreases and Ug increases

E Us increases and Ug is constant

Answer:

Option B is the correct Answer

Explanation:

    The Gravitational Potential energy is mathematically represented as  

                    U_g = mgh

Where m is the mass , g is the acceleration due to gravity while and h is the height

 And in term of the spring  this energy represents the workdone against gravitational Force

 The Spring potential energy is mathematically represented as

                     U_s = \frac{1}{2} k x^2

Where k is the spring constant ans  x is the extension in the spring

   And energy represents the work that is being done to stretch the spring

 If the system as state in the question is setup and U_s is being increased then U_g decreases
