Answer:

v = 1.3 10⁸  m / s

Explanation:

The magnetic force is given by

       F = q v x B

Where blacks indicate vectors

The magnetic field has a direction to the north, the fixed uranium atom on Earth has a direction to the east, so the field and velocity are perpendicular, the expression of the force remains

         F = q v B

If we use Newton's second law

       F = ma

The acceleration is centripetal

      F = m v² / r

The distance is the radius of the earth plus the distance from the surface

      r = Re + 50.103

      r = 6.37 10⁶ + 5 10³

      r = 6.3705 10⁶ m

      m v² / r = q v B

      v = q/m   B r

uranium mass

     m = 238 (1.66 10⁻²⁷) kg = 395 10⁻²⁷ kg

Let's calculate

      v = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 0.5 10⁻⁴ 6.3705 10⁶ /395 10⁻²⁷

      v = 1.29 10⁸  m / s

250 mL 0.1 M HCl solution is mixed with 250 mL
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The concentration of OH⁻ in the mixture is 0.05 M

Explanation:

The reaction of neutralization between HCl and NaOH is the following:

H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) ⇄  H₂O(l)

The number of moles of HCl is:

n_{HCl} = C*V = 0.1 mol/L*0.250L = 0.025 moles

Similarly, the number of moles of NaOH is:

n_{NaOH} = C*V = 0.2 mol/L*0.250L = 0.05 moles

Now, from the reaction of HCl and NaOH we have the following number of moles of NaOH remaining:

n_{NaOH} = 0.05 moles - 0.025 moles = 0.025 moles

Finally, the concentration of OH⁻ in the mixture is:

C =\frac{n_{NaOH}}{V_{T}}=\frac{0.025 moles}{0.250*2 L} = 0.05 moles/L

Therefore, the concentration of OH⁻ in the mixture is 0.05 M.

I hope it helps you!

In a physics lab experiment for the determination of moment of inertia, a team weighs an object and finds a mass of 2.15 kg. The
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

0.339 kgm²

Explanation:

We know the period of this pendulum, T = 2π√(I/mgh) where I = moment of inertia of the object about the pivot axis, m = mass of object = 2.15 kg, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = distance of center of mass of object from pivot point = 0.163 m.

Since T = 2π√(I/mgh), making I subject of the formula, we have

I = mghT²/4π²

Now since it takes 241 s to complete 113 cycles, then it takes 241 s/113 cycles to complete one cycle.

So, T = 241 s/113 = 2.133 s

So, Substituting the values of the variables into I, we have

I = mghT²/4π²

I = 2.15 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.163 m × (2.133 s)²/4π²

I = 15.63/4π² kgm²

I = 0.396 kgm²

Now from the parallel axis theorem, I = I' + mh² where I' = moment of inertia of object with respect to its center of mass about an axis parallel to the pivot axis

I' = I - mh²

I' = 0.396 kgm² - 2.15 kg × (0.163 m)²

I' = 0.396 kgm² - 0.057 kgm²

I' = 0.339 kgm²

Which statement about tornadoes is correct? a. They are a very common part of thunderstorms. b. Seventy-five percent of the worl
Anit [1.1K]

As strange as it may seem, around 75% world’s tornadoes

occur in the United States. It's actually because of the unique

geography of North America, and how the winds and storms

get funneled up through the US. (choice-b)


It's true that when there's a tornado, it usually comes along with a thunderstorm. But tornadoes are way way LESS common than thunderstorms.


Their main danger is from the high winds in the center of the funnel.

The rain is minor compared to the wind damage.


Tornadoes are not really the strongest storms on Earth.

Welll ... I guess that could depend on what "strong storm" means.

Sure, a tornado is incredibly vicious and powerful. But it's only a few

miles wide, and it only lasts for a few hours and then it's all over.

The tropical cyclones ... hurricanes, monsoons, typhoons ... don't have

winds as fast as tornadoes, but they can be a thousand miles wide and

last for weeks.
