Answer:

a. apparent magnitude

Explanation:

Apparent magnitude is a measure of the brightness of a star (that is, amount of light) received on Earth. Star's apparent magnitude depends on:

star luminosity

star distance from Earth

extinction of the light, for example, caused by interstellar dust.

Apparent magnitude because Apparent is kinda like when something is obvious. So that's how I think of it.

The rms (root-mean-square) speed of a diatomic hydrogen molecule at 50∘C is 2000 m/s. Note that 1.0 mol of diatomic hydrogen at

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

A) d. (1/4)(2000m/s) = 500 m/s

B) c. 4000 J

C) f. None of the above (2149.24 m/s)

Explanation:

The translational kinetic energy of a gas molecule is given as:

K.E = (3/2)KT

where,

K = Boltzman's Constant = 1.38 x 1^-23 J/K

T = Absolute Temperature

but,

K.E = (1/2) mv²

where,

v = root mean square velocity

m = mass of one mole of a gas

Comparing both equations:

(3/2)KT = (1/2) mv²

v = √(3KT)/m _____ eqn (1)

FOR HYDROGEN:

v = √(3KT)/m = 2000 m/s _____ eqn (2)

FOR OXYGEN:

velocity of oxygen = √(3KT)/(mass of oxygen)

Here,

mass of 1 mole of oxygen = 16 m

velocity of oxygen = √(3KT)/(16 m)

velocity of oxygen = (1/4) √(3KT)/m

using eqn (2)

velocity of oxygen = (1/4)(2000 m/s) = 500 m/s

K.E = (3/2)KT

Since, the temperature is constant for both gases and K is also a constant. Therefore, the K.E of both the gases will remain same.

K.E of Oxygen = K.E of Hydrogen

K.E of Oxygen = 4000 J

using eqn (2)

At, T = 50°C = 323 k

v = √(3KT)/m = 2000 m/s

m = 3(1.38^-23 J/k)(323 k)/(2000 m/s)²

m = 3.343 x 10^-27 kg

So, now for this value of m and T = 100°C = 373 k

v = √(3)(1.38^-23 J/k)(373 k)/(3.343 x 10^-27 kg)

v = 2149.24 m/s

Consider a projectile of mass 20 kg launched with a speed 9 m/s at an elevation angle of 45 degrees. Taking the launch point as

viva [34]

Answer:

a) L=0. b) L = 262 k ^ Kg m²/s and c) L = 1020.7 k^ kg m²/s

Explanation:

It is angular momentum given by

L = r x p

Bold are vectors; where L is the angular momentum, r the position of the particle and p its linear momentum

One of the easiest ways to make this vector product is with the use of determinants

${array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\x&y&z\\px&py&pz\end{array}\right]$

Let's apply this relationship to our case

Let's start by breaking down the speed

v₀ₓ = v₀ cosn 45

voy =v₀ sin 45

v₀ₓ = 9 cos 45

voy = 9 without 45

v₀ₓ = 6.36 m / s

voy = 6.36 m / s

a) at launch point r = 0 whereby L = 0

. b) let's find the position for maximum height, we can use kinematics, at this point the vertical speed is zero

vfy² = voy²- 2 g y

y = voy² / 2g

y = (6.36)²/2 9.8

y = 2.06 m

Let's calculate the angular momentum

L= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\x&y&0\\px&0&0\end{array}\right]$

L = -px y k ^

L = - (m vox) (2.06) k ^

L = - 20 6.36 2.06 k ^

L = 262 k ^ Kg m² / s

The angular momentum is on the z axis

c) At the point of impact, at this point the height is zero and the position on the x-axis is the range

R = vo² sin 2θ / g

R = 9² sin (2 45) /9.8

R = 8.26 m

L = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\x&0&0\\px&py&0\end{array}\right]$

L = - x py k ^

L = - x m voy

L = - 8.26 20 6.36 k ^

L = 1020.7 k^ kg m² /s

What's the Coulomb's law?

Ulleksa [173]

In layman's term: like charges don't attract while opposite charges doelectrostatic forces between point A( which is charged) and point B (which is also charged) are proportional to the charge of point A and point B. there is also something else about this law that I don't quite remember.

___________________________________________________

Here is the formula:

F = k x Q1 x Q2/d^2

What the formula means:

F=force between charges

Q1 and Q2= amount of charge

d=distance between these two charges

k= Coulombs constant (proportionally constant)

________________________________________________

I think that about covers it and hopefully this helped.
