Answer: (b)0.000012/k

Explanation:

The linear expansion of the metal rod is given by

$\Delta L= L_0 \alpha \Delta T$

where

$\Delta L=0.090 cm$ is the linear expansion

$L_0 = 80 cm$ is the initial length of the rod

$\alpha$ is the linear expansivity

$\Delta T=93.6^{\circ}C=93.6 K$ is the increase in temperature

By re-arranging the equation, we find the linear expansivity:

$\alpha = \frac{\Delta L}{L_0 \Delta T}=\frac{0.090 cm}{(80 cm)(93.6K)}=0.000012 K^{-1}$

An electron is released from rest in a unifor electric field and accelerates to the north at a rate of 145 m/s^2. What is the ma

julsineya [31]

Answer:

E = 8.26*10⁻¹⁰ N/C, due south.

Explanation:

Assuming no other forces acting on the electron than the electrostatic force due to the electric field, we can apply Newton's 2nd law as follows:

$F = -eE =ma (1)$

Solving for E, we can find its magnitude as follows:

$E =\frac{m*a}{e} = \frac{9.1e-31 kg*145m/s2}{1.6e-19C} = 8.26e-10 N/C (1)$

The direction of the electric field is by definition the one that would take a positive test charge, so if the electron is accelerated to the north, the electric field would exactly oppose to this direction, so it is directed due south.

2. Who bombarded molybdenum with atomic number (Z=42) with fast moving<br>neutrons?<br>

Dominik [7]

Answer:

This question appears incomplete

Explanation:

This question appears incomplete, however Molybdenum-99 (⁹⁹Mo) is produced by bombarding Molybdenum-98 (⁹⁸Mo) with fast moving neutrons (¹₀n) as shown below

⁹⁸₄₂Mo + ¹₀n ⇒ ⁹⁹₄₂Mo + ⁰₀γ

This reaction is a nuclear caption reaction (which occurs in a nuclear reactor) for the production of Molybdenum-99 (⁹⁹Mo) which serves as a "precursor" for the production of medically viable/ Clinical Grade Technutium-99m (⁹⁹Tc) through Ion-exchange technique.
