1 meter = 1e9 nm

To get meters, divide nanometers by 1e9:
9.95nm / 1x10^9 = 9.95x10^-9 meters

Answer: 9.95e-9 meters

1 meter = 1,000,000,000 nanometers

1 nanometer = 0.000000001 meters

so, to convert the diameter of a hydrogen atom in nanometers to meters, you just have to multiply

9.95 x 0.000000001 = 0.00000000995 nm

therefore the diameter of a hydrogen atom in meters is 0.00000000995m

How does the north pole of a magnet respond to the poles of other magnets?

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A magnet has a magnetic field around it which originates at the north pole and enters through the south pole.

In a magnet, like poles will repel each other and unlike poles will attract.

The north pole of one magnet will repel another north pole of another magnet.
North pole of one magnet will attract the south pole of another magnet.
This is the law of attraction and repulsion of magnet.

When a fixed amount of ideal gas goes through an isobaric expansion A) its internal (thermal) energy does not change.B) the gas

Bingel [31]

<h2>Answer: its temperature must increase.</h2>

Explanation:

In an isobaric process the pressure remains constant, which means the initial pressure and the final pressure will be the same.

In addition, during this thermodynamic process, the volume of the ideal gas expands or contracts in such a way that the variation of pressure $\Delta P$ is neutralized.

Now, according to the First law of Thermodynamics that establishes the conservation of energy:

$\Delta U=\Delta Q-\Delta W$ (1)

Where:

$\Delta U$ is the internal energy

$\Delta Q$ is the heat transferred

$\Delta W$ is the work

Now, for an isobaric process:

$\Delta W=P\Delta V$ (2)

Where:

$P$ is the pressure (<u>always positive</u>)

$\Delta V$ is the volume variation of the gas

<u />

<u>Here we have two possible results:</u>

-If the gas expands (positive $\Delta V$ ), the work is positive.

-If the gas compresses (negative $\Delta V$ ), the work is negative.

In this case we are talking about the first result (work is positive).

Then, according to the above, equation (1) can be written as follows:

$\Delta U=\Delta Q - P\Delta V$ (3)

Clearing $\Delta Q$ :

$\Delta Q=\Delta U+P \Delta V$ (4)

Then, for an ideal gas in an isobaric process, part of the heat ( $Q$ ) added to the system will be used to do work (positive in this case) and the other part <u>will increase the internal energy</u>, hence <u>the temperature will increase as well.</u>

A car mass of 1.2 x 10 kilograms starts from rest and attains a speed of 20 meters/seconds in 5 seconds. What net force acted on

lorasvet [3.4K]

Net force on the car=F=4.8 x 10³ N

Explanation:

mass of car= 1.2 x 10³ Kg

initial velocity= Vi=0

Final velocity= Vf= 20 m/s

time = t= 5 s

Using kinematic equation,

Vf= Vi + at

20= 0 + a (5)

5 a=20

a= 20/5

a= 4 m/s²

Now force is given by F = ma

F= 1.2 x 10³ (4)

F=4.8 x 10³ N

How does a mirror affect the path of light?

yulyashka [42]

Light rays change direction when they hit a mirror. The phenomenon is known as reflection. Light rays travels in a straight light. They strike the surface of the mirror at a particular angle called incident angle. It is the angle between the ray and normal at the point of contact. The rays leaves the surface making the same angle with the normal called reflection angle but in different direction.

He vector parts that add up to the resultant are called ____.

cupoosta [38]

1. Answer: components

A two dimensional vector can be divided into two parts called horizontal component and vertical component.

A three dimensional vector can be divided into three components: one along x-axis, one along y-axis and one along z-axis.

Hence, the vector parts that add up to the resultant are called components.

2. Answer: 5 miles.

The resultant distance along the straight line from the starting point to the end point would be the displacement.

The displacement would be equal to the magnitude of the hypotenuse formed in the right triangle.

Displacement, $d=\sqrt{4^2+3^2}=\sqrt{16+9}=\sqrt{25}=5 miles$

3. Answer: Scalar

A scalar quantity has only magnitude. For example, speed and distance are scalar quantities and can be normally added to find the total.

A vector quantity has both magnitude as well as direction. The components are summed according to vector addition rules. For example, velocity, acceleration, force etc.
