Any sample of an ELEMENT is made of only one type of atom.

Here are some elements:

-- Hydrogen, Helium, Neon

-- Carbon (lead in a pencil, also diamonds)

-- Oxygen, Nitrogen, Argon (All mixed together in air, but not hooked up with other atoms)

Other elements you may have heard of:

-- Silver, Gold, Copper, Iron, Lead, Aluminum, Silicon, Chlorine, Calcium, Titanium, Nickel, Tin, Platinum, Mercury, Radium, Uranium

How is energy measured?

stepladder [879]

Because a Btu is so small, energy is usually measured in millions of Btus. 1 Btu = the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water (which is equivalent to one pint) by one degree Fahrenheit. This is roughly the heat produced from burning one match.

Consider an oil droplet of mass m and charge q. We want to determine the charge on the droplet in a Millikan-type experiment. We

Katen [24]

Answer:

$q=\frac{mg}{E_o}$

Explanation:

Given:

Charge = q

Electric field strength = $E_o$

weight of the droplet = mg

The charge is suspended motionless. This is because the electric force on the charge is balanced by the weight of the droplet.

electric force on charged droplet, $F=qE_o$

This is balanced by the weight, $mg$

Equating the two:

$qE_o=mg\\\Rightarrow q=\frac{mg}{E_o}$

A lamp hangs from the ceiling at a height of 2.6 m. The lamp has a mass of 3.8 kg. The screws holding the lamp break, and it fal

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given height of lamp from the ceiling = 2.6m

mass of the lamp = 3.8kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

As the body falls to the ground, it falls under the influence of gravity.

Gravitational potential energy = mass*acc due to gravity * height

Gravitational potential energy = 3.8*2.6*9.81

Gravitational potential energy = 96.923 Joules

b) Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

m = mass of the body (in kg)

v = velocity of the body (in m/s²)

To get the velocity v, we will use the equation of motion $v^{2} = u^{2}+2gh$

$v^{2} = 0^{2}+2(9.81)(2.6) \\v^{2} = 51.012\\v =\sqrt{51.012}\\ v = 7.14m/s$

Since mass = 3.8kg

$K.E = 1/2 * 3.8 *7.14^{2}\\ K.E = 96.86Joules$

c) To know how fast the lamp is moving when it hits the ground, we will use the formula. When the body hits the ground, the height covered will be 0m. this means that the body is not moving once it hits the ground. It stays in one position. The energy possessed by the body at this point is potential energy. The correct answer is therefore 0 m/s

A sample of helium gas has a volume of 900. milliliters and a pressure of 2.50 atm at 298 K. What is the new pressure when the t

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The new pressure = 5.64 atm.

Explanation:

Using The general gas equation,

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂..................... Equation 1

making P₂ the subject of the equation

P₂ = P₁V₁T₂/V₂T₁ ...................... Equation 2

Where P₁ = initial pressure, V₁ = initial Volume, T₁ = Initial temperature, P₂ = final pressure, V₂ = final volume, T₂ = final Temperature.
