The electric field in a region of space has the components Ey = Ez = 0 and Ex = (4.00 N/C · m) x. Point A is on the y axis at y
= 3.80 m, and Point B is on the x axis at x = 4.40 m. What is the potential difference VB − VA?

Answer:
A. 1.64 J
Explanation:
First of all, we need to find how many moles correspond to 1.4 mg of mercury. We have:
where
n is the number of moles
m = 1.4 mg = 0.0014 g is the mass of mercury
Mm = 200.6 g/mol is the molar mass of mercury
Substituting, we find
Now we have to find the number of atoms contained in this sample of mercury, which is given by:
where
n is the number of moles
is the Avogadro number
Substituting,
atoms
The energy emitted by each atom (the energy of one photon) is
where
h is the Planck constant
c is the speed of light
is the wavelength
Substituting,
And so, the total energy emitted by the sample is
Answer: c. the molecules with the highest energy evaporate first, lowering the temperature of the sample
Explanation:
The process by which liquid starts to change into vapor phase at any temperature is known as evaporation.
During evaporation , the molecules which possess higher energies escape from the upper layer into vapor phase. the molecules which escape draw energy from surroundings and thus decrease the energy of the surroundings and hence lead to decrease in temperature.
As temperature of the system is directly proportional to the energy of the system , thus decrease in energy leads to decrease in temperature.
K.E. = Kinetic energy
T = temperature
R= gas constant
