Answer:

Explanation:

conversion of 2.5 days to seconds

2.5 days =2.5 days*24 hours*3600 seconds

2.5 days=216000seconds

b) conversion of 25 km to mm

1 km=1000000 mm

therefore

25 km=25*1000000=25000000 mm

c) conversion 22 g to kg

1000 g=1 kg

therefore

22 g=22/1000=0.022 kg

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

a) 318.2 W/m^2

b) 2.5 x 10^-4 J

c) 1.55 x 10^-8 v/m

Explanation:

Power of laser P = 1 mW = 1 x 10^-3 W

exposure time t = 250 ms = 250 x 10^-3 s

If beam diameter = 2 mm = 2 x 10^-3 m

then

cross-sectional area of beam A = $\pi d^{2} /4$ = (3.142 x $(2*10^{-3} )^{2}$ )/4

A = 3.142 x 10^-6 m^2

a) Intensity I = P/A

where P is the power of the laser

A is the cros-sectional area of the beam

I = ( 1 x 10^-3)/(3.142 x 10^-6) = 318.2 W/m^2

b) Total energy delivered E = Pt

where P is the power of the beam

t is the exposure time

E = 1 x 10^-3 x 250 x 10^-3 = 2.5 x 10^-4 J

c) The peak electric field is given as

E = $\sqrt{2I/ce_{0} }$

where I is the intensity of the beam

E is the electric field

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

$e_{0}$ = 8.85 x 10^9 m kg s^-2 A^-2

E = $\sqrt{2*318.2/3*10^8*8.85*10^9}$ = 1.55 x 10^-8 v/m

A spherical Christmas tree ornament is 8.00 cm in diameter. What is the magnification of an object placed 12.0 cm away from the

LiRa [457]

The magnification of the ornament is 0.25

To calculate the magnification of the ornament, first, we need to find the image distance.

Formula:

1/f = u⁻¹+v⁻¹.................... Equation 1

Where:

f = Focal length of the ornament
u = image distance
v = object distance.

make u the subject of the equation

u = fv/(f+v)................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

f = 8/2 = 4 cm
v = 12 cm

Substitute these values into equation 2

u = (12×4)/(12+4)
u = 48/16
u = 3 cm.

Finally, to get the magnification of the ornament, we use the formula below.

M = u/v.................. Equation 3

Where

M = magnification of the ornament.

Substitute these values above into equation 3

M = 3/12
M = 0.25.

Hence, The magnification of the ornament is 0.25

Why is oxygen more chemically reactive than nitrogen?

grin007 [14]

Answer:

O2 has two more electrons compared to N2, with extra 2 electrons in the higher energy anti-bonding orbitals known as Diradical. These electrons have higher energy and are unpaired; therefore, O2 is more reactive
