Answer:

Explanation:

Is beacuse of the air within our bodys is exerting the same pressure out wards so tjere is no pressure difference

Answer:

it is because our body itself is not adept enough to resist the air pressure. For every reaction, there be an balanced opposite reaction according to Newton's law. namely, all forces such as air pressure are in proportion therefore we will not perceive air pressure which also means no net force.

In a television set, electrons are accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 20 kV. The electrons then pass throug

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer: Fmax = 5.54*10^-12 N

Explanation: From the question, we have the potential difference (V) =20kv = 20,000v and strength of magnetic field (B) =0.41 T.

The maximum force experienced by a charge of magnitude (q) is given as

Fmax = qvB

Where v = velocity of electron.

The velocity of the electron can be gotten by using the work energy theorem.

The kinetic energy of the electron (mv²/2) equals the work done needed to accelerate it.

mv²/2 = qV.

Where m = mass of an electronic charge = 9.11×10^-31 kg, q = magnitude of an electronic charge = 1.609×10^-19 c, v = velocity of electron, V = potential difference = 20,000v.

By substituting the parameters, we have that

(9.11×10^-31 × v²)/2 = 1.609×10^-19 × 20000

(9.11×10^-31 × v²) = 1.609×10^-19 × 20000 ×2

v² = (1.609×10^-19 × 20000 ×2)/9.11×10^-31

v² = 64.36*10^(-16)/9.11×10^-31

v² = 7.0647×10^15

v = √7.0647×10^15

v = 8.40×10^7 m/s

Fmax = 1.609×10^-19 × 8.40×10^7 × 0.41

Fmax = 5.54*10^-12 N

Elemental analysis of the unknown gas from part a revealed that it is 30.45% n and 69.55% o by mass. What is the molecular formu

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

the molecular formula for the gas is NO₂

Explanation:

since it contains

Nitrogen = n → 30.45%

Oxygen = o → 69.55%

and 30.45%+69.55% = 100% , then the gas only contains nitrogen and oxygen

Also we know that the proportion of oxygen over nitrogen is

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = moles of oxygen / moles of nitrogen

since

moles = mass / molecular weight

then for a sample of 100 gr of the unknown gas

mass of oxygen = 69.55%*100 gr = 69.55 gr

mass of Nitrogen = 30.45%*100 gr = 30.45 gr

proportion of oxygen over nitrogen = (mass of oxygen/ molecular weight)/(mass of nitrogen / molecular weight of nitrogen ) = (69.55 gr/ 16 gr/mol) /( 30.45 gr /14 gr/mol) = 1.998 mol of O/ mol of N≈ 2 mol of O/ mol of N

therefore there are 2 atoms of oxygen per atom of nitrogen

thus the molecular formula for the gas is:

NO₂

A low resistance light bulb and a high resistance light bulb are connected in parallel with each other. Which bulb is brighter i

sweet [91]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The bulb with low resistance will be brighter.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The brightness of a bulb is a function of both the voltage across the bulb and current flowing through the bulb. The higher the voltage, the higher the current. Hence the brighter the bulb.

Now, according to the question, the bulbs (the high resistance bulb and the low resistance bulb) are connected in parallel with each other. This means that the same voltage passes across them.

Also, we know that according to Ohm's law, the voltage (V) and current (I) through a conductor are related by the following equation;

V = I x R -------------------(i)

Where;

R is the resistance of the conductor.

We can re-write equation (i) as follows;

I = V / R -----------------------(ii)

According to equation (ii), at fixed voltage (V), the current (I) will increase as the resistance (R) decreases.

Now, since the two bulbs have the same voltage, the bulb with the low resistance will allow a larger flow of current than the bulb with high resistance. Therefore, as said earlier that brightness is dependent on voltage and current, the bulb with the low resistance (and having larger current at some voltage) will be brighter than the bulb with the high resistance (having smaller current at same voltage).
