Answer:

p = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ C m     and  ΔU = 2.7 10 -11 J

Explanation:

The dipole moment of a dipole is the product of charges by distance

                        p = 2 a q

With 2a the distance between the charges and the magnitude of the charges

                        p = 1.7 10⁻⁹ 6.8 10⁻⁶

                        p = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ C m

 

The potential energie dipole  is described by the expression

                       U = - p E cos θ

Where θ is the angle between the dipole and the electric field, the zero value of the potential energy is located for when the dipole is perpendicular to the electric field line

Orientation parallel to the field

                      θ = 0º

                      U = 1.16 10⁻¹⁴ 1160 cos 0

                      U1 = 1.35 10⁻¹¹ J

Antiparallel orientation

                       θ = 180º

                      cos 180 = -1

                      U2 = -1.35 10⁻¹¹ J

The difference in energy between these two configurations is the subtraction of the energies

                         ΔU = | U1 -U2 |

                         ΔU = 1.35 10-11 - (-1.35 10-11)

                         ΔU = 2.7 10 -11 J

Two resistors, A and B, are connected in a series circuit with a battery. The resistance of A is twice that of B. Which resistor
IgorC [24]

Answer:

A dissipates more power.

Explanation:

  • In a series circuit, the current is the same at any point in it.
  • The power dissipated in any resistor follows Joule's law, as follows:

        P = I^{2} * R

  • So, for a given current, the power is directly proportional to the resistance of the resistor.
  • In this case, as resistor A has twice the resistance of resistor B, A dissipates twice more power than B.

The battery for a certain cell phone is rated at 3.70 V. According to the manufacturer it can produce math]3.15 \times 10^{4} J[
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The average current that this cell phone draws when turned on is 0.451 A.

Explanation:

Given;

voltage of the phone, V = 3.7 V

electrical energy of the phone battery, E = 3.15 x 10⁴ J

duration of battery energy, t = 5.25 h

The power the cell phone draws when turned on, is the rate of energy consumption, and this is calculated as follows;

P = \frac{E}{t}

where;

P is power in watts

E is energy in Joules

t is time in seconds

P = \frac{3.15*10^4}{5.25*3600s} = 1.667 \ W

The average current that this cell phone draws when turned on:

P = IV

I = \frac{P}{V} =\frac{1.667}{3.7} = 0.451 \ A

Therefore, the average current that this cell phone draws when turned on is 0.451 A.

A car hits another and the two bumpers lock together during the collision. is this an elastic or inelastic collision?
valkas [14]
Inelastic.
If it was elastic, they'd bump right off each other. But since they've been locked, or stuck together, this is inelastic.

What is the mass of metal if it has a density of 12.459 hg/cm^3 and displaces 28.7cm^3 of water ​
natima [27]

Answer:

357.6g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Density  = 12.459g/cm³

Volume of metal  = 28.7cm³

Unknown:

Mass of metal = ?

Solution:

The density of a substance is its mass per unit volume.

To find the mass;

     Mass of metal  = density x volume

Now insert the parameters and solve;

    Mass of metal  = 12.459 x 28.7  = 357.6g

The force that binds atoms together to form molecules is
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The electromagnetic force

Explanation:

There are four fundamental forces in nature:

- Gravitational force: it is the force that acts between any particles having mass. It is relevant only on very large scales (planets, stars), since it is the weakest of the 4 forces, so very large masses are needed in order to produce relevant effects.

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force that acts between particles with electric charge. It can be attractive or repulsive. It is the main force that acts between atoms and molecules.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the force that keeps the protons and the neutrons together inside the nucleus. It acts only on very short scales (only within the nucleus of the atom)

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for the radioactive decays of certain nuclei. It also acts on very short scales.

Therefore, the force that is responsible for binding atoms together to form molecules is the electromagnetic force.
