How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of a proton?

Which statements describe a situation in which work is being done? Check all that apply.

slava [35]

The work is being done in following cases:

A mover carries a box up a flight of stairs.

A mover carries a box across a room.

Wind blows a pool chair across the yard.

A weightlifter lifts a barbell off the ground.

These are the only cases in which work is being done. The Formula of Work is:

Work= Force applied x Distance moved.

In all of these cases force is being applied and the object on which the force is being applied move in a horizontal or Vertical direction. Thus Work is done !

A mercury thermometer has a glass bulb of interior volume 0.100 cm3 at 10°c. the glass capillary 10) tube above the bulb has an

Nadya [2.5K]

Initial volume of mercury is
V = 0.1 cm³

The temperature rise is 35 - 5 = 30 ⁰C = 30 ⁰K.

Because the coefficient of volume expansion is 1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K, the change in volume of the mercury is
ΔV = (1.8x10⁻⁴ 1/K)*(30 ⁰K)(0.1 cm³) = 5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³

The cross sectional area of the tube is
A = 0.012 mm² = (0.012x10⁻² cm²).
Therefore the rise of mercury in the tube is
h = ΔV/A
= (5.4x10⁻⁴ cm³)/(0.012x10⁻² cm²)
= 4.5 cm

Answer: 4.5 cm

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

steady state temperature =88.7deg C

t=time within 1 deg C of it steady state is 8.31s

Explanation:

A 1 m long wire of diameter 1mm is submerged in an oil bath of temperature 25-degC. The wire has an electrical resistance per unit length of 0.01 Ω/m. If a current of 100 A flows through the wire and the convection coefficient is 500W/m2K, what is the steady state temperature of the wire? From the time the current is applied, how long does it take for the wire to reach a temperature within 1-degC of the steady state value? The density of the wire is 8,000kg/m3, its heat capacity is 500 J/kgK and its thermal condu

The diameter of the wire is known to be=1mm

properties=

The density of the wire is 8,000 kg/m3,

heat capacity is 500 J/kgK

themal conductivity is 20W/m.K

electrical resistance per unit length of 0.01 Ω/m

from lump capavity method

$B_{i} =\frac{hr/2}{k}$

500*(2.5*10^-4)/20

0.006<0.1

we know also, to find steady state temperature

$\pi$ Dh(T-Tinf)= $I^{2} R_{e}$

make T the subject of the equation , we have

T=25+ $\frac{100^2*0.01}{\pi*0.001*500 }$

T=88.7 degC

rate of chnage in temperature

dT/dt= $\frac{I^2*Re}{rho*c*\pi*D^2/4 } -\frac{4h}{rho*c*D} (T-Tinf)$

at t=o and integrating both sides $\frac{T-Tinf-(I^2*Re/\pi*Dh) }{Ti-Tinf-(I^2*Re/\pi*Dh } =exp\frac{-4ht}{rho*c*D}$

we have

$\frac{87.7-25-63.7}{25-25-63.7} =exp\frac{4*500t}{8000*500*0.001}$

t=8.31s

steady state temperature =88.7deg C

t=time within 1 degC of it steady stae is 8.31s

Astronomers know that the distance between the Earth and the Sun averages 1.50 x108 km. How can astronomers use the observed ste

rodikova [14]

Answer:

The distance of stars and the earth can be averagely measured by using the knowledge of geometry to estimate the stellar parallax angle(p).

From the equation below, the stars distances can be calculated.

D = 1/p

Distance = 1/(parallax angle)

Stellar parallax can be used to determine the distance of stars from an observer, on the surface of the earth due to the motion of the observer. It is the relative or apparent angular displacement of the star, due to the displacement of the observer.

Explanation:

Parallax is the observed apparent change in the position of an object resulting from a change in the position of the observer. Specifically, in the case of astronomy it refers to the apparent displacement of a nearby star as seen from an observer on Earth.

The parallax of an object can be used to approximate the distance to an object using the formula:

D = 1/p

Where p is the parallax angle observed using geometry and D is the actual distance measured in parsecs. A parsec is defined as the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. This distance is approximately 3.26 light years
