We shall consider two properties:
1. Temperature difference
2. Thermal conductivity of the material

Use a cylindrical rod of a given material (say steel) which is insulated around its circumference.

One end of the rod is dipped in a large reservoir of water at 100 deg.C and the other end is dipped in water (with known volume) at 40 deg. C. The cold water if stored in a cylinder which is insulated on all sides. A thermometer reads the temperature of the cold water as a function of time.

This experiment will show that
(a) heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature.
(b) The thermal energy of a body increases when heat is added to it, and its temperature will rise.
(c) The thermal conductivity of water determines how quickly its temperature will rise. If mercury replaces water in the cold cylinder, its temperature will rise at a different rate because its thermal conductivity is different.

Answer:

a=4.44\frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

First we have to find the time required for train to travel 60 meters and impact the car, this is an uniform linear motion:

t=\frac{d}{v}\\\\t=\frac{60m}{30\frac{m}{s}}=2s

The reaction time of the driver before starting to accelerate was 0.50 seconds. So, remaining time for driver is 1.5 seconds.

Now, we have to calculate the distance traveled for the driver in this 0.5 seconds before he start to accelerate. Again, is an uniform linear motion:

d=vt\\d=20\frac{m}{s}(0.5s)=10m

The driver cover 10 meters in this 0.5 seconds. So, the remaining distance to be cover in 1.5 seconds by the driver are 35 meters. We calculate the minimum acceleration required by the car in order to cross the tracks before the train arrive, Since this is an uniformly accelerated motion, we use the following equation:

d=v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\a=\frac{2(d-v_0t)}{t^2}\\a=\frac{2(35m-20\frac{m}{s}*1.5s}{(1.5s)^2}\\a=4.44\frac{m}{s^2}

An object of mass 800g hangs on a spring. Calculate the force exerted by the object if acceleration due to gravity is 10/s2​
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

8 N

Explanation:

Using the equation F=ma (F: force/ m: mass  in kg/ a: acceleration),

F = (800/1000)(10)

F = 8 N

hjlf

Answer: a) for 150 Angstroms 6.63 *10^-3 eV; b) for 5 Angstroms 6.02 eV

Explanation: To solve this problem we have to use the relationship given by De Broglie as:

λ =p/h where p is the momentum and h the Planck constant

if we consider the energy given by acceleration tube for the electrons given by: E: e ΔV so is equal to kinetic energy of electrons p^2/2m

Finally we have:

eΔV=p^2/2m= h^2/(2*m*λ^2)

replacing we obtained the above values.
