Consider the diatomic molecule oxygen O2 which is rotating in the xy plane about the z axis passing through its center, perpendi

cular to its length. The mass of each oxygen atom is 2.66 × 10−26 kg, and at room temperature, the average separation distance between the two oxygen atoms is 2.2 × 10−10 m (treat the atoms as point masses). If the angular speed of the molecule about the z axis is 5.49 × 1012 rad/s, what is its rotational kinetic energy? Answer in units of J.

Answer: 9.7*10^-21 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of oxygen atom, m = 2.66*10^-26 kg

Separation distance between the two atoms, r = 2.2*10^-10 m

Angular speed, w = 5.49*10^12 rad/s

First, we start by finding our moment of Inertia, I, using the relation

I = 1/2mr²

I = 1/2 * 2.66*10^-26 * (2.2*10^-10)²

I = 1/2 * 1.2874*10^-45

I = 6.437*10^-46 kgm²

The Rotational Kinetic Energy is given by

KE = 1/2Iw²

Now, using this value of I, we plug it in the energy equation.

KE = 1/2 * 6.437*10^-46 * (5.49*10^12)²

KE = 1/2 * 1.94*10^-20

KE = 9.7*10^-21 J

Thus, the rotational kinetic energy is 9.7*10^-21 J

A delivery truck leaves a warehouse and travels 2.60 km north. The truck makes a left turn and travels 1.25 km west before makin

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

4.19 km and 107.35 degrees north of east

Explanation:

So in the end, the truck is (2.6 + 1.4 = 4km) north and 1.25 km west from the warehouse. We can use the Pythagorean formula to calculate the magnitude and direction α of the truck displacement from the warehouse:

$s = \sqrt{s_n^2 + s_w^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 1.25^2} = \sqrt{16 + 1.5625} = \sqrt{17.5625} = 4.19$ km

$tan\alpha = \frac{s_n}{s_w} = \frac{4}{1.25} = 3.2$

$\alpha = tan^{-1}3.2 = 1.27 rad \approx 72.65 degrees$ north or west or (180 - 72.65) = 107.35 degrees north of east

Why are the decomposers categorized as consumers? how do they differ from producers

QveST [7]

Hi! Decomposers (mainly soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate)<span /> are categorized as consumers due to the fact that they consume dead organic matter such as plants and animals. They differ from producers (green plants and some bacteria) because they do not produce their own food using photosynthesis or chemosythensis.
Hope this helped!

Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same plate area. Capacitor 1 has a plate separation twice that of capacitor 2, and the qu

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

$V_1=8 V_2$

Explanation:

Given that:

Area of the plate of capacitor 1= Area of the plate of capacitor 2=A

separation distance of capacitor 2, $d_2=d$

separation distance of capacitor 1, $d_1=2d$

quantity of charge on capacitor 2, $Q_2=Q$

quantity of charge on capacitor 1, $Q_1=4Q$

We know that the Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area and inversely proportional to the distance of separation.

Mathematically given as:

$C=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}$ .....................................(1)

where:

k = relative permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates= 1 for air

$\epsilon_0 = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\,F.m^{-1}$

From eq. (1)

For capacitor 2:

$C_2=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}$

For capacitor 1:

$C_1=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}$

$C_1=\frac{1}{2} [ \frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}]$

We know, potential differences across a capacitor is given by:

$V=\frac{Q}{C}$ ..........................................(2)

where, Q = charge on the capacitor plates.

for capacitor 2:

$V_2=\frac{Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}}$

$V_2=\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}$

& for capacitor 1:

$V_1=\frac{4Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}}$

$V_1=\frac{4Q\times 2d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}$

$V_1=8\times [\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}]$

$V_1=8 V_2$

g A box having mass 0,5kg is placed in front of a 20 cm compressed spring. When the spring released, box having mass m1, collide

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:Expression given below

Explanation:

Given mass of spring $\left ( m_1\right )=0.5 kg$

Compression in the spring $\left ( x\right )=20 cm$

Let the spring constant be K

Using Energy conservation

potential energy stored in spring =Kinetic energy of Block $\left ( m_1\right )$

$\frac{1}{2}Kx^2=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2$

$v=x\sqrt{\frac{k}{m_1}}$

now conserving momentum

$m_1v=\left ( m_1+m_2\right )v_0$

$v_0=\frac{m_1}{m_1+m_2}v$

where $v_0$ is the final velocity
