Answer:

a) Watt is a derived unit because it's not a “base unit.”

b) The atomic clock is suitable for measuring time because natural atomic oscillations happen at a higher frequency and as a result they are more stable.

c) There is fluctuation in time measured by a pendulum clock because the pendulum rod changes in length slightly with changes in temperature, causing changes in the rate of the clock. An increase in temperature causes the rod to expand, making the pendulum longer, so its period increases and the clock loses time.

D) The weight of an object is more at pole and less at equator of the earth because the distance of the pole is less than the distance of the equator from the centre of the earth.

e) The weight of an object on the moon is about one-sixth the weight it would have on the earth because the moon's gravitation force is determined by the mass and the size of the moon. Hence, the weight of an object on the moon is 1/6th its weight on the earth.

An initially uncharged 3.47-μF capacitor and a 6.43-kΩ resistor are connected in series to a 1.50-V battery that has negligible

harkovskaia [24]

Answer: a) io=233.28 A ( initial current); b) τ=R*C= 22.31 ms; c) 81.7 ms

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use, the formule for the variation of the current in a RC circuit:

I(t)=io*Exp(-t/τ)

and also we consider that io=V/R=(1.5/6.43*10^3)

=233.28 A

then the time constant for the RC circuit is τ=R*C=6.43*10^3*3.47*10^-6

=22.31 ms

Finally the time to reduce the current to 2.57% of its initial value is obtained from:

I(t)=io*Exp(-t/τ) for I(t)/io=0.0257=Exp(-t/τ) then

ln(0.0257)*τ =-t

t=-ln(0.0257)*τ=81.68 ms

An engineer is designing a runway for a witch. Several brooms will use the runway and the engineer must design it so that it is

jonny [76]

Answer:

1170 m

Explanation:

Given:

a = 3.30 m/s²

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 88.0 m/s

x₀ = 0 m

Find:

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

(88.0 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (3.30 m/s²) (x - 0 m)

x = 1173.33 m

Rounded to 3 sig-figs, the runway must be at least 1170 meters long.

Consider the hydrogen atom. How does the energy difference between adjacent orbit radii change as the principal quantum number i

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

the energy difference between adjacent levels decreases as the quantum number increases

Explanation:

The energy levels of the hydrogen atom are given by the following formula:

$E=-E_0 \frac{1}{n^2}$

where

$E_0 = 13.6 eV$ is a constant

n is the level number

We can write therefore the energy difference between adjacent levels as

$\Delta E=-13.6 eV (\frac{1}{n^2}-\frac{1}{(n+1)^2})$

We see that this difference decreases as the level number (n) increases. For example, the difference between the levels n=1 and n=2 is

$\Delta E=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{2^2})=-13.6 eV(1-\frac{1}{4})=-13.6 eV(\frac{3}{4})=-10.2 eV$

While the difference between the levels n=2 and n=3 is

$\Delta E=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{9})=-13.6 eV(\frac{5}{36})=-1.9 eV$

And so on.

So, the energy difference between adjacent levels decreases as the quantum number increases.
