Answer:

decreases

Explanation:

The angular frequency of the mass is given by

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

where, k is the spring constant and m be the mass of the body which is doing oscillations.

if the mass of the body increases, so the value of angular frequency decreases, as the angular frequency is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of the body.

An electron moves with a speed of 8.0 × 10^{6} m/s along the +x-axis. It enters a region where there is a magnetic field of 2.5

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic force of the electron is 2.77 x 10⁻¹² N

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the electron, v = 8.0 × 10⁶ m/s

magnetic field strength, B = 2.5 T

angle of inclination of the field, θ = 60°

The magnetic force experienced by the electron in the magnetic field is given as;

F = qvBsinθ

where;

q is charge of electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

B is strength of magnetic field

v is speed of the electron

Substitute the given values and solve for F

F = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹)( 8.0 × 10⁶)(2.5)sin60

F = 2.77 x 10⁻¹² N

Thus, the magnitude of the magnetic force of the electron is 2.77 x 10⁻¹² N

The SI unit of power is the watt. Which of the following units are equivalent to the watt?

Llana [10]

Answer:

The right option is (A) V.A

Explanation:

Power: This is the rate at which work is done. Or it is the produce of force and velocity. The S.I unit of power is Watt (W). Other units include Horse power(hp), foot-pound per minutes, etc.

Generally, power can be represented as,

Power = Energy/time

P = W/t......................... Equation 1

Where p = power, w = Work or energy, t = time in seconds.

Electrical energy: This is the product of potential difference and the quantity of charge.

∴ W = VQ............................... Equation 2

Where V = potential difference, Q = quantity of charge and W = Energy or Work done.

Also Q = It........................ Equation 3.

where I = current in ampere, t = time in seconds

Substituting equation 3 into equation 3

W = VIt............................ Equation 4.

Also substituting Equation 4 into Equation 1

P = VIt/t = VI = voltage(V)×Current(A)

Therefore the equivalent unit of power is

P = V.A.

The right option is (A) V.A

2. Two identical conducting spheres are placed with their centers 0.30 m apart. One is given a charge of 12 x 10-9 C and the oth

Maru [420]

Answer:

A. -2.16 * 10^(-5) N

B. 9 * 10^(-7) N

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Distance between their centres, r = 0.3 m

Charge in first sphere, Q1 = 12 * 10^(-9) C

Charge in second sphere, Q2 = -18 * 10^(-9) C

A. Electrostatic force exerted on one sphere by the other is:

F = (k * Q1 * Q2) / r²

F = (9 * 10^9 * 12 * 10^(-9) * -18 * 10^(-9)) / 0.3²

F = -2.16 * 10^(-5) N

B. When they are brought in contact by a wire and are then in equilibrium, it means they have the same final charge. That means if we add the charges of both spheres and divided by two, we'll have the final charge of each sphere:

Q1 + Q2 = 12 * 10^(-9) + (-18 * 10^(-9))

= - 6 * 10^(-9) C

Dividing by two, we have that each sphere has a charge of -3 * 10^(-9) C

Hence the electrostatic force between them is:

F = [9 * 10^9 * (-3 * 10^(-9)) * (-3 * 10^(-9)] / 0.3²

F = 9 * 10^(-7) N

Heat naturally flows from an object that has a _______________ temperature to an object that has a _______________ temperature.

GaryK [48]

Answer:

higher, lower, external work, 100 %, work.

Explanation:

These paragraphs refer to the second law of thermodynamics. There are two statements for the second law of thermodynamics. They are as follows:

KELVIN STATEMENT:

All the heat from a source can never be transferred to the sink without the rejection of some heat.

CLAUSIUS STATEMENT:

Heat can not be transferred from a colder body to a hotter body without the application of som external work.

According to the statements the blanks can be filled as follows:

Heat naturally flows from an object that has a higher temperature to an object that has a Lower temperature. Heat can be made to flow in the reverse direction if external work is done. A machine can never have an efficiency of 100 %. This means that heat energy can never be fully converted into work energy.
