When the temperature of ice-cold water is increased slightly, does it undergo a net expansion or net contraction?

1 answer:

4 0

From the freezing temperature up to about 4°C (39°F) the water CONTRACTS. That is, it becomes MORE dense. I think I read that water is the ONLY known substance whose solid phase floats in its liquid phase. That's why the cubes float in your soda and bergs float in the ocean. And if weren't so, then life on Earth would not be possible ! Oceans and lakes would freeze from the bottom up, ONE TIME, and then never thaw again.

Two high-current transmission lines carry currents of 29.0 A and 78.0 A in the same direction and are suspended parallel to each

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

$I_1=29 A$

$I_2=78 A$

$d=38 cm=\frac{38}{100}=0.38 m$

$1 m=100 cm$

a.Length of segment,l=20 m

Magnetic force ,F= $\frac{2\mu_0I_1I_2 l}{4\pi d}$

$\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}=10^{-7}$

Substitute the values

$F=\frac{10^{-7}\times 29\times 78\times 20}{0.38}=0.0119 N$

Hence, the magnetic force exert by each segment on the other=0.0119 N

b.We know that when current carrying in the wires are in same direction then the force will attract to each other.

Hence, the force will be attractive.

What is E of a hydrogen atom in the 3p state?

notsponge [240]

Answer:

E=-1.51 eV.

$L=\hbar\sqrt{2}$

Explanation:

The nth level energy of a hydrogen atom is defined by the formula,

$E_{n}=-\frac{13.6}{n^{2} }$

Given in the question, the hydrogen atom is in the 3p state.

Then energy of n=3 state is,

$E_{n}=-\frac{13.6}{(3)^{2} }\\E_{n}=-1.51eV$

Therefore, energy of the hydrogen atom in the 3p state is -1.51 eV.

Now, the value of L can be calculated as,

$L=\hbar\sqrt{l(l+1)}$

For 3p state, l=1

$L=\hbar\sqrt{1(1+1)}\\L=\hbar\sqrt{2}$

Therefore, the value of L of a hydrogen atom in 3p state is $L=\hbar\sqrt{2}$ .

The distance a spring stretches varies directly as the amount of weight that is hanging on it. A weight of 2.5 pounds stretches

julsineya [31]

We use the equation y = kx
y = 18, x = 2.5

18 = k2.5
k = 7.2

x = 6.4
y = 7.2*6.4
y = 46.08

hope this help
