<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

a) 5.00 x 10^8 J

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The work done to move the sailboat is calculated through the equation;

W = F x d

where F is force and d is the distance.

Substituting the known values from the given above,

W = (5.00 x 10⁴ N)(10 km)(1000 m/ 1km)

= 5.00 x 10⁸ J

Thus, the work done is <u>5.00 x 10⁸Joules</u>

Consider a hydrogen atom in the n = 1 state. The atom is placed in a uniform B field of magnitude 2.5 T. Calculate the energy di

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$E=29\times 10^{-5}eV$

Explanation:

For n-=1 state hydrogen energy level is split into three componets in the presence of external magnetic field. The energies are,

$E^{+}=E+\mu B$ ,

$E^{-}=E-\mu B$ ,

$E^{0}=E$

Here, E is the energy in the absence of electric field.

And

$E^{+} and E^{-}$ are the highest and the lowest energies.

The difference of these energies

$\Delta E=2\mu B$

$\mu=9.3\times 10^{-24}J/T$ is known as Bohr's magneton.

B=2.5 T,

Therefore,

$\Delta E=2(9.3\times 10^{-24}J/T)\times 2.5 T\\\Delta E=46.5\times 10^{-24}J$

Now,

$Delta E=46.5\times 10^{-24}J(\frac{1eV}{1.6\times 10^{-9}J } )\\Delta E=29.05\times 10^{-5}eV\\Delta E\simeq29\times 10^{-5}eV$

Therefore, the energy difference between highest and lowest energy levels in presence of magnetic field is $E=29\times 10^{-5}eV$

A thin uniform rod (length = 1.2 m, mass = 2.0 kg) is pivoted about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end of the rod. (

Anika [276]

Answer:

$a=9.8 rad/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Torque, $\tau$ is given by

$\tau=Fr$ where F is force and r is perpendicular distance

$R=0.5Lcos\theta$ where $\theta$ is the angle of inclination

Torque, $\tau$ can also be found by

$\tau=Ia$ where I is moment of inertia and a is angular acceleration

Therefore, Fr=Ia and F=mg where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

Making a the subject, $a=\frac {Fr}{I}=\frac {mgr}{I}$ and already I is given as

$I=\frac {mL^{2}}{3} and r is 0.5Lcos\theta$ hence

$a=\frac {0.5mgLcos\theta}{1/3 mL^{2}}$

$a=\frac {3gcos\theta}{2L}$

Taking g as 9.81, $\theta$ is given as 37 and L is 1.2

$a=\frac {3*9.81cos37}{2*1.2}=9.7932679419$

$a=9.8 rad/s^{2}$

An old light bulb draws only 54.3 W, rather than its original 60.0 W, due to evaporative thinning of its filament. By what facto

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of old light bulb = 54.3 W

Power = 60 W

We know that,

The resistance is inversely proportional to the diameter.

$R\propto\dfrac{1}{D}$

The power is inversely proportional to the resistance.

$P\propto\dfrac{1}{R}$

$P\propto D^2$

We need to calculate the factor of the diameter of the filament reduced

Using relation of power and diameter

$\dfrac{P_{i}}{P_{f}}=\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}=\dfrac{54.3}{60}$

$\dfrac{D_{i}}{D_{f}}=0.95$

$D_{i}=0.95 D_{f}$

Hence, The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

What is the relationship between the electric force and each one of the charges?

Bess [88]

Explanation: Electrostatic force is directly related to the charge of each object. So if the charge of one object is doubled, then the force will become two times greater.
