Answer:

Coefficient of friction.

Explanation:

The amount of friction divided by the weight of an object is equal to the coefficient of friction. It is a dimensional less number. It can be given by :

$F=\mu N$

N is normal force.

$\mu$ = coefficient of friction

$\mu=\dfrac{F}{N}$

Calculate the separation between the two lowest levels for an O2 molecule in a one-dimensional container of length 5.0 cm. At wh

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The separation between the two lowest levels = $1.24 * 10^{-39}J$

The values of n where the energy of molecule reaches 1/2 kT at 300K = $2.2 * 10^{9}$

The separation at this level = 1.8 * $10^{-30}$ J

Explanation:

Knowing the formula

En = $\frac{n^{2} h^{2} }{8 mL^{2} }$

Mass of oxygen molecule

m (O2) = 32 amu * $\frac{1.6605 * 10^{-27 kg} }{1 amu}$

So the energy diference between the two lowest levels:

E2 - E1 = $\frac{3h^{2} }{8mL^{2} }$

E2 - E1 = $\frac{3 * (6.626 * 10^{-34} Js)^{2} } {8 * 32 amu * (\frac{1.6605 * 10^{-27 kg} }{1 amu})* (5*10^{-2})^{2} } = 1.24 * 10^{-39}J$

Now we should find n where the energy of molecule reaches 1/2 kT

En = $\frac{n^{2} h^{2} }{8 mL^{2} }$ = $\frac{1}{2}kT$

$\frac{h^{2} }{8 mL^{2} }$ = $4.13 * 10^{-14}J$

$n^{2} * (4.13 * 10^{-14}J) = \frac{1}{2} (1.38 * 10^{-23}JK^{-1}) * 300K$

$n = 2.2 * 10^{9}$

by the end is necessary to calculate the separation of the level

En - En-1 = $(n^{2} - (n - 1)^{2}) * \frac{h^{2} }{8 mL^{2} }$

= 1.8 * $10^{-30}$ J

True or False:In a current, electrons will always flow from negative to positive.

DIA [1.3K]

It should be true: electrons low from negative toward positive to negative toward positive because opposite charges attract each other.

I hope this was correct

Difference between static and kinetic friction in physics

KIM [24]

The force of static friction keeps a stationary object at rest. Once the force of static friction is overcome, the force of kinetic friction is what slows down a moving object.

A child is holding a wagon from rolling straight back down in a driveway that inclined at 20 degree horizontal. if the wagon wei

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

F = 51.3°

Explanation:

The component of weight parallel to the inclined plane must be responsible for the rolling back motion of the car. Hence, the force required to be applied by the child must also be equal to that component of weight:

$F = Parallel\ Component\ of\ Weight\ of\ Wagon= WSin\theta\\$

where,

W = Weight of Wagon = 150 N

θ = Angle of Inclinition = 20°

Therefore,

$F = (150\ N)Sin\ 20^o$

Does a generator start a Direct Current?

lesya [120]

A direct-current (DC) generator is a rotating machine that supplies an electrical output with unidirectional voltage and current. ... The field is produced by direct current in field coils or by permanent magnets on the stator. The output, or armature, windings are placed in slots in the cylindrical iron rotor.
