A similar experiment was more recently done by NASA using an icy mixture of water, methanol, ammonia and carbon monoxide. The mi

xture was exposed to ultraviolet radiation. The results of this experiment were that no amino acids or DNA were formed, but complex organic molecules were observed. The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether:___________.

"a horn emits a frequency of 1000 HZ. A 14 m/s wind is blowing toward a listener. What is the frequency of the sound heard by th
Semenov [28]

Answer:

 f_L = 1000 Hz

Explanation:

given,

speed of wind, = 14 m/s

frequency of horn,f_s = 1000 Hz

speed of sound,V = 344 m/s

frequency heard by the listener

using Doppler effect

f_L = \dfrac{v+v_L}{v+v_s}f_s

f_L is the frequency of the sound heard by the listener

f_s is the frequency of sound emitted by the listener

V is the speed of sound

v_L is the speed of listener

v_s is the speed of source

now,

considering the frame of reference in which wind is at rest now, both listener and the source will be moving at 14 m/s

 f_L = \dfrac{v+14}{v+14}\times 1000

now on solving we will get

 f_L = 1000 Hz

hence, the frequency heard by the listener is equal to  1000 Hz

For a molecule of O2 at room temperature (300 K), calculate the average angular velocity for rotations about the x or y axes. Th
Ksivusya [100]

Answer: 6.65 rad/s

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to know that according the kinetic theory of gases, the average kinetic energy KE of a molecule with i degrees of freedom is:

KE=\frac{i}{2}kT (1)

Where:

i=5 because oxigen is a diatomic molecule and has 5 degrees of freedom

k=1.38064852 (10)^{-23} \frac{m^{2}kg}{s^{2}K} is the Boltzman constant

T=300 K is the temperature

Then:

KE=\frac{5}{2}(1.38064852 (10)^{-23} \frac{m^{2}kg}{s^{2}K})(300 K) (2)

KE=1.035 (10)^{-20} \frac{m^{2}kg}{s^{2}} (3) With this value of average kinetic energy we can find the average angular velocity, with the following equation:

KE=\frac{1}{2}I \omega^{2} (4)

Where:

I is the moment of inertia

\omega is the angular velocity

Now, I=m R^{2} (5)

Being m=31.98 g/mol=0.03198 kg/mol the molar mass of Oxigen molecule and R=0.121(10)^{-9}m the distance between atoms

I=(0.03198 kg/mol)(0.121(10)^{-9}m)^{2} (6)

I=4.682(10)^{-22} \frac{kg}{mol} m^{2} (7)

Substituting (7) and (3) in (4):

1.035 (10)^{-20} \frac{m^{2}kg}{s^{2}}=\frac{1}{2} (4.682(10)^{-22} \frac{kg}{mol} m^{2}) \omega^{2} (8)

Finding \omega:

\omega=6.65 rad/s (9) This is the average angular velocity for a molecule of O2

A spring has an unstretched length of
koban [17]

Answer:

24 N

Explanation:

Given,

Unstretched length or original length , x1 = 12cm

Stiffness constant, k = 8 N/cm

Load required to take spring to a length , x2 of 15cm

Recall the relation :

F = Ke

Where, e = extension

e = x2 - x1

e = (15 - 12) = 3

F = ke

F = 8 N/cm * 3cm

F = 24 N/cm*cm

F = 24 N

Hence, required load = 24 N
