Answer:

Your body generates a static energy which gives it a net positive Charge as such the charge spreads uniformly over the surface of the doorknob

Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most o

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

3 photons

Explanation:

The energy of a photon E can be calculated using this formula:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

Where $h$ corresponds to Plank constant (6.626070x10^-34Js), $c$ is the speed of light in the vacuum (299792458m/s) and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the photon(in this case 800nm).

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.626070\times10^{-34})(299792458)}{800\times10^{-9}}=\frac{1.986445812\times10^-25}{800}=2.483057265\times10^{-19}J$

Tranform the units

$1eV=1.602176634\times10^{-19}J\\2.483057265\times10^{-19}J(\frac{1eV}{1.602176634\times10^{-19}J})=1.549802445eV$

The band Gap is 4eV, divide the band gap between the energy of the photon:

$\frac{4ev}{1.549802445eV}=2.508974118$

Rounding to the next integrer: 3.

Three photons are the minimum to equal or exceed the band gap.

the base of a rectangular vessel measure 10m by 18cm. water is poured into a depth of 4cm. (a) what is the pressure on the base?

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

a) P =392.4[Pa]; b) F = 706.32[N]

Explanation:

With the input data of the problem we can calculate the area of the tank base

L = length = 10[m]

W = width = 18[cm] = 0.18[m]

A = W * L = 0.18*10

A = 1.8[m^2]

a)

Pressure can be calculated by knowing the density of the water and the height of the water column within the tank which is equal to h:

P = density * g *h

where:

density = 1000[kg/m^3]

g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

h = heigth = 4[cm] = 0.04[m]

P = 1000*9.81*0.04

P = 392.4[Pa]

The force can be easily calculated knowing the relationship between pressure and force:

P = F/A

F = P*A

F = 392.4*1.8

F = 706.32[N]

If the Earth were compressed in such a way that its mass remained the same, but the distance around the equator were just one-ha

vovikov84 [41]

If the distance around the equator is reduced by half, then the radius is also reduced by half.

Since the acceleration due to gravity is proportional to 1/(radius²),
the acceleration changes by a factor of 1/(1/2)² = 1/(1/4) = <em>4 </em>.

The acceleration due to gravity ... and also the weight of everything on Earth ...
becomes <em>4 times what it is now</em>.

A block of mass m=9.0 kg and speed V and is behind a block of mass M= 27 kg and speed of .50 m/s. The surface is frictionless, a

sammy [17]

Answer:

2.06 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal. Considering this case where we have frictionless surface, no momentum is lost in the process.

Momentum before collision

Momentum is given by p=mv where m and v represent mass. The initial sum of momentum will be 9v+(27*0.5)=9v+13.5

Momentum after collision

The momentum after collision will be given by (9+27)*0.9=32.4

Relating the two then 9v+13.5=32.4

9v=18.5

V=2.055555555555555555555555555555555555555 m/s

Rounded off, v is approximately 2.06 m/s
