True or False?

What does it mean if an AA battery has 1.5V written on the side of it?

Pie

It means that the potential difference between the metal can and the little button on top of the battery is about 1.5 volts.

That's strictly the result of the chemicals in the battery, and has nothing to do with its size. If a battery as big as a house has the same chemistry inside that the AA has, the big one will also have 1.5 volts between its terminals. (But it'll run your flashlight much longer than the AA will, before it runs down.)

A vacuum gage connected to a chamber reads 39 kPa at a location where the atmospheric pressure is 92 kPa. Determine the absolute

Nata [24]

Answer: 53 kPa

Explanation:

Absolute pressure is a pressure value referred to absolute zero or vacuum. This value indicates the total pressure to which a body or system (the chamber in this situation) is subjected, considering the total pressure acting on it.

In this sense, the equation that will be useful in this case is:

$P_{atmospheric}= P_{absolute} + P_{vacuum}$ (1)

Where:

$P_{atmospheric}=92 kPa$ is the atmospheric pressure

$P_{vacuum}=39 kPa$ is the vacuum pressure

$P_{absolute}$ is the absolute pressure

Isolating $P_{absolute}$ from (1):

$P_{absolute}=P_{atmospheric} - P_{vacuum}$ (2)

$P_{absolute}=92 kPa - 39 kPa$ (3)

Finally:

$P_{absolute}=53 kPa=53(10)^{3} Pa$ This is the absolute pressure in the chamber

A tank whose bottom is a mirror is filled with water to a depth of 20.0 cm. A small fish floats motionless 7.0 cm under the surf

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The apparent depth of (a) the fish is 5.3 cm and (b) the image of the fish is 24.8 cm.

Explanation:

According to the following equation:

$\frac{n_{w} }{s} +\frac{n_{a} }{s'} = \frac{n_{a}- n_{w}}{R_{c} } \\$

where nw and na is the refractive indices of water (1.33) and air (1.00) respectively; s is the depth of the fish below the surface of the water; s' is the apparent depth of the fish from normal incidence and Rc is the radius of curvature of the mirror at the bottom of the tank.

Note that the bottom of the tank is assumed to be a flat mirror, therefore the radius of curvature is very large (R⇒∞).

Therefore, the above equation can be expressed as:

$\frac{n_{w}}{s} +\frac{n_{a}}{s'}=0$

Now we can solve for the apparent depth of the fish.

(a) $s'=-(\frac{n_{a}}{n_{w}})x s$ (Make s' subject of the formula from the above equation)

$s'=(\frac{1.00}{1.33} )x7cm$

∴ $s'=5.3 cm.$

(b) The motionless fish floats 13 cm above the mirror, therefore the image of the fish will be situated at 13 + 20 =33 cm away from the real fish.

Therefore, s = 33 cm

$s'=-(\frac{n_{a}}{n_{w}})x s$

$s'=(\frac{1.00}{1.33} )x 33 cm$

$s'=24.8 cm.$

NB: Here, it is assumed that the water is pure, as impurities may alter the refractive index of water.

How do you calculate the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom?

schepotkina [342]

The number of protons in an atom is the same as its atomic number, which is found on its corresponding atomic symbol in the periodic table of elements. And as long as this atom has a neutral charge, than the number of electrons will be the same. If the atom does have a charge, like say, 2-, then subtract 2 from the number of protons to get the number of electrons.
For the number of neutrons, you have to memorize the isotopes available sometimes. But usually something like carbon 14 will have a total of (in this case) 14 total protons/neutrons. So subtract this number by the number of protons(6), and you have 8 neutrons.
Hope this helps!
