First of all, we need to convert the energy produced from kilojoules to calories. 1 kJ corresponds to 239.1 cal, therefore:

E=18.9 kJ \cdot 239.1 =4519.4 cal

And so now we can calculate the energy value of the oil:

E_v = \frac{E}{m}=\frac{4519.4 cal}{0.50 g}=9038.8 cal/g

You are holding a finishing sander with your right hand. THe sander has a flywheel which spins counterclockwise as seen from beh
ryzh [129]

Answer:

c. turn downward

Explanation:

From the information given:

To find the tendency of the sander;

We need to apply the right-hand rule torque; whereby we consider the direction of the flywheel, the direction at which the torque is acting, and the movement of the sander toward the right.

Since the flywheel of the sander is in counterclockwise movement, hence the torque direction will be outward placing on the wall. However, provided that the movement of the sander is toward the right, then there exists an opposite force that turns downward which showcases the tendency in the sander is downward.

A diffraction grating produces a first-order bright fringe that is 0.18 m away from the central bright fringe on a flat screen.
Georgia [21]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 562.5 nm

Solution:

As per the question:

Order, n = 1

Slit separation, d = 2.5\times 10^{- 6}\ m

Distance from the bright fringe, y = 0.18 m

Distance between the screen and the grating, D = 0.8 m

Now,

We know from the eqn for diffraction:

n\lambda = dsin\theta

n = 1

\lambda = dsin\theta            (1)

Also,

For very small angle, \theta:

sin\theta ≈ tan\theta = \frac{y}{D} = \frac{0.18}{0.8} = 0.225

Using the above value in eqn (1):

\lambda = 2.5\times 10^{- 6}\times 0.225 = 5.625\times 10^{- 7}\ m = 562.5\ nm
