Answer:

The speed of sound in air when the temperature is 20°C is 343 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature T = 20°C = 20+273=293 K

The speed of sound in air is the distance traveled divided by time.

We know that,

The relation between the speed of sound in air and temperature is defined as:

$v= 331\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{273}}$

Where, T = temperature in Kelvin

v = speed of sound in air

We substitute the value into the formula

$v = 331\sqrt{\dfrac{293}{273}}$

$v = 342.9 = 343\ m/s$

The speed of sound in air is 331 m/s at 0° C, 343 m/s at 20°C and 346 m/s at 25°C.

Hence, the speed of sound in air when the temperature is 20°C is 343 m/s.

Be sure to answer all parts. Compare the wavelengths of an electron (mass = 9.11 × 10−31 kg) and a proton (mass = 1.67 × 10−27 k

Harrizon [31]

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) Speed, $v=6.66\times 10^6\ m/s$

Mass of the electron, $m_e=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

Mass of the proton, $m_p=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

The wavelength of the electron is given by :

$\lambda_e=\dfrac{h}{m_ev}$

$\lambda_e=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 6.66\times 10^6}$

$\lambda_e=1.09\times 10^{-10}\ m$

The wavelength of the proton is given by :

$\lambda_p=\dfrac{h}{m_p v}$

$\lambda_p=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 6.66\times 10^6}$

$\lambda_p=5.96\times 10^{-14}\ m$

(b) Kinetic energy, $K=1.71\times 10^{-15}\ J$

The relation between the kinetic energy and the wavelength is given by :

$\lambda_e=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_eK}}$

$\lambda_e=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 1.71\times 10^{-15}}}$

$\lambda_e=1.18\times 10^{-11}\ m$

$\lambda_p=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2m_pK}}$

$\lambda_p=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 1.71\times 10^{-15}}}$

$\lambda_p=2.77\times 10^{-13}\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

10. What is the acceleration of a 1000 kg car subject to a 500 N net force?

Simora [160]

Answer:

0.5m/s^2

Explanation:

We can use the formula [ F = ma ] but solve for "a" since that is what we are looking for.

F = ma

F/m = a

We know the net force and mass so substitute those values and simplify.

500/1000 = 0.5m/s^2

Best of Luck!

If I could lift up to ten tons and I threw a ball the size of an orange but weighed a ton, to the ground, how big of an impact w

Anarel [89]

Answer:

The impact force is 98000 N.

Explanation:

mass = 10 tons

The impact force is the weight of the object.

Weight =mass x gravity

W = 10 x 1000 x 9.8

W = 98000 N

The impact force is 98000 N.

What is the volume V of a sample of 4.00 mol of copper? The atomic mass of copper (Cu) is 63.5 g/mol, and the density of copper

rusak2 [61]

Answer : The volume of a sample of 4.00 mol of copper is $28.5cm^3$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the mass of copper.

$\text{ Mass of copper}=\text{ Moles of copper}\times \text{ Molar mass of copper}$

$\text{ Mass of copper}=(4.00moles)\times (63.5g/mole)=254g$

Now we have to calculate the volume of copper.

Formula used :

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$8.92\times 10^3kg/m^3=\frac{254g}{Volume}$

$Volume=\frac{254g}{8.92\times 10^3kg/m^3}=2.85\times 10^{-2}L=2.85\times 10^{-2}\times 10^3cm^3=28.5cm^3$

Conversion used :

$1kg/m^3=1g/L\\\\1L=10^3cm^3$

Therefore, the volume of a sample of 4.00 mol of copper is $28.5cm^3$
