<h2>Heat released in this process is 3516.7 J</h2>

Explanation:

A calorimeter has a heat capacity of 1265 J/°C

Heat capacity of calorimeter = 1265 J/°C

A reaction causes the temperature of the calorimeter to change from 22.34°C to 25.12°C

Change in temperature = 25.12 - 22.34 = 2.78°C

Heat released = Heat capacity of calorimeter x Change in temperature

Heat released = 1265 x 2.78 = 3516.7 J

Heat released in this process is 3516.7 J

Answer:

heat released is $3.51 \times 10^3 \ J.$

Explanation:

It is given that, heat capacity of calorimeter is, H = $1265 \ J/^0C.$

Also , initial temperature of calorimeter, $T_i=22.34^0C.$

final temperature of calorimeter, $T_f=25.12^oC.$

We know , Heat will release when it is positive.

So, heat released , Heat = $H \times(T_f-T_i)=1265\times(25.12-22.34)\\=3516.7 \ J=3.51\times 10^3\ J.$ .

Since it is positive. Therefore, heat released is $3.51 \times 10^3 \ J.$

What is air pressure?

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A. Earth's gravity pulling down on air molecules

Explanation:

Air pressure refers to the weight of the air per unit surface area. It is the amount of gravitational force which is pulling down the molecules of air.

The common unit of air pressure is: Pascal, atm

1 atm = 101325 Pa

As the column of the air above increases, the air pressure increase. This is because with the increase in amount of air, the weight increase of the air increases. This is the reason a diver feels immense pressure in the sea and cooking takes a lot of time on hilly areas because of low air pressure.

You drop a rock down a well that is 5.4 m deep. How long does it take the rock to hit the bottom of the well?

Natali5045456 [20]

Equation of motion:

$y_{f}=y_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

Since initial velocity is zero, the second term goes away:

$y_{f}=y_{o}+0+ \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}=y_{o}+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}-y_{o}= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$y_{f}-y_{o}=5.4m$

$5.4m= \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$\frac{2(5.4m) }{a} = t^{2}$

$a = g = 9.81 \frac{m}{ s^{2}}$

$\frac{2(5.4m) }{9.81 \frac{m}{ s^{2} } } = t^{2}$

$1.1 s^{2} = t^{2}$ $\sqrt{1.1 s^{2}} = \sqrt{t^{2}}$

<u><em> $t = 1.05s$ </em></u>

Two protons are maintained at a separation of nm. Calculate the electric potential due to the two particles at the midpoint betw

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The electric potential is approximately 5.8 V

The resulting direction of the electric field will lie on the line that joins the charges but since it is calculated in the midpoint and the charges are the same we can directly say that its magnitude is zero

Explanation:

The two protons can be considered as point charges. Therefore, the electric potential is given by the point charge potential:

$\displaystyle{U=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}}$ (1)

where $q$ is the charge of the particle, $\epsilon_0$ the electric permittivity of the vacuum (I assuming the two protons are in a vacuum) and $r$ is the distance from the point charge to the point where the potential is being measured. Because the electric potential is an scalar, we can simply add the contribution of the two potentials in the midpoint between the protons. Thus:

$\displaystyle{U_{midpoint}=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}}+\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}}=\frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0r}}}$

Substituting the values $q=1.602 \cdot10^{-19}\ C$ , $\displaystyle{\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=8.99\cdot 10^9 N\cdot m^2\cdot C^{-2}}$ and $r=0.5 \cdot 10^{-9} m$ we obtain:

$\displaystyle{U_{midpoint}=\frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0r}}=5.759 \approx 5.8 V}$

The resulting direction of the electric field will lie on the line that joins the charges but since it is calculated in the midpoint and the charges are the same we can directly say that its magnitude is zero.
