Answer:

129900

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the particle, m = 1 g = 1*10^-3 kg

Speed of the particle, u = ½c

Speed of light, c = 3*10^8

To solve this, we will use the formula

p = ymu, where

y = √[1 - (u²/c²)]

Let's solve for y, first. We have

y = √[1 - (1.5*10^8²/3*10^8²)]

y = √(1 - ½²)

y = √(1 - ¼)

y = √0.75

y = 0.8660, using our newly gotten y, we use it to solve the final equation

p = ymu

p = 0.866 * 1*10^-3 * 1.5*10^8

p = 129900 kgm/s

thus, we have found that the momentum of the particle is 129900 kgm/s

How does the molecular structure of a water molecule affect its polarity?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The polarity of water molecules means that molecules of water will stick to each other like when unlike charges attracts. This is called hydrogen bonding.

Polarity makes water a good solvent, gives it the ability to stick to itself (cohesion), stick to other substances (adhesion), and have surface tension (due to hydrogen bonding).

When the two hydrogen atoms bond with the oxygen, they attach to the top of the molecule. This molecular structure gives the water molecule polarity, or a lopsided electrical charge that attracts other atoms. The end of the molecule with the two hydrogen atoms is positively charged.

An electroscope is a fork-shaped device commonly used to detect the presence of charge. The tin leaves of an electroscope will s

velikii [3]

Answer:

All these is caused by the repulsion force.

Explanation:

The electroscope produces a series of electric charges that produce a repulsion force when is putted in contact with a electric charged object.

As the physics law mentions, two different forces are repealed, the electrocospe is charged negatively and the object positively, causing a repulsion force that avoids that both objects touch the other.

In a nuclear reactor, each atom of uranium (of atomic mass 235 u) releases about 200 MeV when it fissions. What is the change in

Ket [755]

Answer:

0.002372187708 kg

Explanation:

Each atom of Uranium 235 releases 200 MeV = 200×10⁶×1.60218×10⁻¹⁹

= 200×1.60218×10⁻¹³ Joule

Number of atoms in a 2.6 kg sample mass = (2.6/0.235)×6.02214076×10²³

⇒Number of atoms in a 2.6 kg sample mass = 66.627×10²³ atoms

Change in energy = Change in mass / (speed of light)²

ΔE = Δmc²

⇒200×1.60218×10⁻¹³×66.627×10²³ = Δm×(3×10⁸)²

⇒Δm = 200×1.60218×10⁻¹³×66.627×10²³/(3×10⁸)²

⇒Δm = 2372.187708×10⁻⁶ kg

∴Change in mass = 0.002372187708 kg

A grating has 460 rulings/mm. What is the longest wavelength for which there is a 6.0th-order diffraction line

mestny [16]

Answer:

λ = 3.62 x 10⁻⁷ m = 362 nm

Explanation:

The grating equation gives the relationship between the wavelength, the diffraction line order and the diffraction angle. The grating equation is written as follows:

mλ = d Sinθ

where,

m = order of diffraction = 6

λ = longest wavelength = ?

d = 1/(460 rulings/mm)(1000 mm /1 m) = 2.17 x 10⁻⁶ m/ruling

θ = Diffraction angle = 90° (for longest wavelength)

(6)λ = (2.17 x 10⁻⁶ m/ruling) Sin 90°

λ = (2.17 x 10⁻⁶ m/rulings)/6

A girl is walking 2km north them east then south then west whar is her displacement

Licemer1 [7]

You haven't told us the lengths of the last 3 pieces.

IF all 4 pieces are the same length, then she ends up
in exactly the same place where she started, and her
displacement for the complete square walk is zero.
