Answer:

The smallest possibility is 0.01E-22kgm/s

Explanation:

Using

Momentum= h/4πx

= 6.6x 10^-34Js/ 4(3.142* 50*10-12m)

= 0.01*10^-22kgm/s

Ugo [173]

Answer:

$+1 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Acceleration is given by

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity

$\Delta t$ is the time interval in which the change in velocity occurs

To find the acceleration at 1 second, we can take the data at t = 1 s and t = 2. We find:

$\Delta t = -3 -(-4) = 1 s$

$\Delta v = 2 - (1) = +1 m/s$

So, the acceleration is

$a=\frac{+1}{1}=+1 m/s^2$

A heat engine accepts 200,000 Btu of heat from a source at 1500 R and rejects 100,000 Btu of heat to a sink at 600 R. Calculate

diamong [38]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy through the heat transferred and the work done, as well as through the calculation of entropy due to heat and temperatra.

By definition we know that the change in entropy is given by

$\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T}$

Where,

Q = Heat transfer

T = Temperature

On the other hand we know that by conserving energy the work done in a system is equal to the change in heat transferred, that is

$W = Q_{source}-Q_{sink}$

According to the data given we have to,

$Q_{source} = 200000Btu$

$T_{source} = 1500R$

$Q_{sink} = 100000Btu$

$T_{sink} = 600R$

PART A) The total change in entropy, would be given by the changes that exist in the source and sink, that is

$\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{Q_{sink}}{T_{sink}}$

$\Delta S_{sink} = \frac{100000}{600}$

$\Delta S_{sink} = 166.67Btu/R$

On the other hand,

$\Delta S_{source} = \frac{Q_{source}}{T_{source}}$

$\Delta S_{source} = \frac{-200000}{1500}$

$\Delta S_{source} = -133.33Btu/R$

The total change of entropy would be,

$S = \Delta S_{source}+\Delta S_{sink}$

$S = -133.33+166.67$

$S = 33.34Btu/R$

Since $S\neq 0$ the heat engine is not reversible.

PART B)

Work done by heat engine is given by

$W=Q_{source}-Q_{sink}$

$W = 200000-100000$

$W = 100000 Btu$

Therefore the work in the system is 100000Btu

Which equation relates charge, time, and current?

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

I = Δq / t

Explanation:

The quantity of electricity i.e charge is related to current and time according to the equation equation:

Q = It

Δq = It

Where:

Q => is the quantity of electricity i.e charge

I => is the current.

t => is the time.

Thus, we can rearrange the above expression to make 'I' the subject. This is illustrated below:

Δq = It

Divide both side by t

I = Δq / t

Describe what happens to chemical<br> bonds during a chemical reaction

dimulka [17.4K]

Explanation:

The bonds that keep molecules together break apart and form new bonds during chemical reactions, rearranging atoms into different substances. Each bond takes a distinct amount of energy to either break or form; the reaction does not take place without this energy, and the reactants stay as they were.
