Compared to the buoyant force of the atmosphere on a 1-kilogram helium-filled balloon, the buoyant force of the atmosphere on a
Vladimir [108]

It all depends on the SIZE of the balloon.

If the balloon is made of really tough rubber, and it holds the helium in the same volume as the solid iron block, then the buoyant force of the atmosphere is the same for both objects.

But if the balloon is just some flimsy stuff, and it lets the helium expand to a much bigger volume than the iron block, then the buoyant force on the balloon is greater than the buoyant force on the solid iron block.

In fact, it DOESN'T MATTER what's in the balloon and what's in the block.  It doesn't matter whether either one of them is solid, liquid, or gas, and it doesn't matter whether they have the same or different mass.  

Whichever one has greater VOLUME has a greater buoyant force of atmosphere acting on it.

In a double-slit experiment, it is observed that the distance between adjacent maxima on a remote screen is 1.0 cm. What happens
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

C) It increases to 2.0 cm

Explanation:

In a double-slit diffraction experiment, the distance on the screen between two adjacent maxima is given by

\Delta y = \frac{\lambda D}{d}

where

\lambda is the wavelength of the wave

D is the distance of the screen from the slits

d is the separation between the slits

In this problem, the initial distance between adjacent maxima is 1.0 cm. Later, the slit separation is cut in a half, which means that the new slit separation is

d'=\frac{d}{2}

Substituting into the equation, we find that the new separation between the maxima is

\Delta y' = \frac{\lambda D}{d/2}=2(\frac{\lambda D}{d})=2\Delta y

So, the distance increases by a factor 2: therefore, the new separation between the maxima will be 2.0 cm.

Which Lewis dot diagram shows an atom that needs 2 more electrons in its outermost shell?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of hydrogen is 1 and one dot in its lewis structure displays only one electron. So, in order to complete its octet it needs one more electron.

Atomic number of carbon is 6 and its electronic distribution is 2, 4. Carbon needs 4 more electrons in order to complete its octet.

Atomic number of oxygen is 8 and its electronic distribution is 2, 6. In order to complete octet, oxygen needs 2 more electrons.

Atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7. In order to complete octet, fluorine needs 1 more electron.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options, lewis dot structure of oxygen atom needs 2 more electrons in its outermost shell.

The aurora is caused when electrons and protons, moving in the earth's magnetic field of ≈5.0×10−5T, collide with molecules of t
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

r=0.341m

Explanation:

The circular movement is produced by the magnetic field:

F=q*v*B

This force is a centripetal force because the electron moves in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. For a centripetal Force, that produces a circular orbit with a radius r:

F=m*a=m*v^{2}/r

If we solve these two equations in order to find r, with the mass and charge of a electron:

qvB=mv^{2}/r\\r=mv/(qB)=9,1*10^{-31}*3*10^{6}/(1.6*10^{-19}*5*10^{-5})=0.341m
