A sample of helium behaves as an ideal gas as energy is
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

0.0321 g

Explanation:

Let helium specific heat c_h = 5.193 J/g K

Assuming no energy is lost in the process, by the law of energy conservation we can state that the 20J work done is from the heat transfer to heat it up from 273K to 393K, which is a difference of ΔT = 393 - 273 = 120 K. We have the following heat transfer equation:

E_h = m_hc_h \Delta T = 20 J

where m_h is the mass of helium, which we are looking for:

m_h = \frac{20}{c_h \Delta T} = \frac{20}{5.193 * 120} \approx 0.0321 g

Calculate the critical angle for light going from Glycerine to air.
Georgia [21]
The refractive index for glycerine is n_g=1.473, while for air it is n_a = 1.00.

When the light travels from a medium with greater refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle over which there is no refraction, but all the light is reflected. This critical angle is given by:
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )
where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two mediums. If we susbtitute the refractive index of glycerine and air in the formula, we find the critical angle for this case:
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{1.00}{1.473} )=42.8^{\circ}

A small sphere with mass mcarries a positive chargeqand is attached to one end of a silk fiber of lengthL. The other end of the
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

(a):  The magnitude of the electric force on the small sphere = \dfrac{q\sigma}{2\epsilon_o}.

(b): Shown below.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • m = mass of the small sphere.
  • q = charge on the small sphere.
  • L = length of the silk fiber.
  • \sigma = surface charge density of the large vertical insulating sheet.

<h2>(a):</h2>

When the dimensions of the sheet is much larger than the distance between the charge and the sheet, then, according to Gauss' law of electrostatics, the electric field experienced by the particle due to the sheet is given as:

\rm E = \dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_o}.

<em>where,</em>

\epsilon_o is the electrical permittivity of the free space.

The electric field at a point is defined as the amount of electric force experienced by a unit positive test charge, placed at that point. The magnitude electric field at a point and the magnitude of the electric force on a charge q placed at that point are related as:

\rm F_e=qE.

Thus, the magnitude of the electric force on the small sphere is given by

\rm F_e = q\times \dfrac{\sigma }{2\epsilon_o}=\dfrac{q\sigma}{2\epsilon_o}.

The sheet and the small sphere both are positively charged, therefore, the electric force between these two is repulsive, which means, the direction of the electric force on the sphere is away from the sheet along the line which is perepndicular to the sheet and joining the sphere.

<h2>(b):</h2>

When the sphere is in equilibrium, the tension in the fiber is given by the resultant of the weight of the sphere and the electric force experienced by it as shown in the figure attached below.

According to the fig.,

\rm \tan \theta = \dfrac{F_e}{W}.

<em>where,</em>

  • \rm F_e = electric force on the sphere, acting along left.
  • \rm W = weight of the sphere, acting vertically downwards.

<em />

\rm F_e = \dfrac{q\sigma}{2\epsilon_o}\\\\W=mg\\\\Therefore,\\\\\tan\theta = \dfrac{\dfrac{q\sigma}{2\epsilon_o}}{mg}=\dfrac{q\sigma}{2mg\epsilon_o}.\\\Rightarrow \theta=\tan^{-1}\left ( \dfrac{q\sigma}{2mg\epsilon_o}\right ) .
