An unstrained horizontal spring has a length of 0.26 m and a spring constant of 180 N/m. Two small charged objects are attached

to this spring, one at each end. The charges on the objects have equal magnitudes. Because of these charges, the spring stretches by 0.039 m relative to its unstrained length. Determine (a) the possible algebraic signs and (b) the magnitude of the charges.

Answer:

a)

two like charges always repel each other while two unlike charges attract each other. Since the spring stretches by 0.039 m, the charges have the same sign. both charges are positive(+) or Negative (-)

b)

both q1 and q1 are 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C or -8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

Given that;

L = 0.26 m

k = 180 N/m

x = 0.039 m

a)

we know that two like charges always repel each other while two unlike charges attract each other. Since the spring stretches by 0.039 m, the charges have the same sign.

b)

Spring force F = kx

F = 180 × 0.039

F = 7.02 N

Now, Electrostatic force F = Keq²/r²

where r = L + x = ( 0.26 + 0.039 )

we know that proportionality constant in electrostatics equations Ke = 9×10⁹ kg⋅m3⋅s−2⋅C−2

so from the equation; F = Keq²/r²

Fr² = Keq²

q = √ ( Fr² / Ke )

we substitute

q = √ ( 7.02 N × ( 0.26 + 0.039 )² / 9×10⁹ )

q = √ ( 7.02 N × ( 0.26 + 0.039 )² / 9×10⁹ )

q =  √ (0.627595 / 9×10⁹)

q = √(6.97 × 10⁻¹¹)

q = 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C

Therefore both q1 and q1 are 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C or -8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C

A 23.5 g piece of aluminum metal is initially at 100.0°C. It is dropped into a coffee cup-calorimeter containing 130.0 g of wate
vivado [14]

Answer: The molar heat capacity of aluminum is 25.3J/mol^0C

Explanation:

heat_{absorbed}=heat_{released}

As we know that,  

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]         .................(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

m_1 = mass of water = 130.0 g

m_2 = mass of aluminiunm = 23.5 g

T_{final} = final temperature = 26.0^oC=(273+26)K=299K

T_1 = temperature of water = 23^oC=(273+23)K=296K

T_2 = temperature of aluminium = 100^oC=273+100=373K

c_1 = specific heat of water= 4.184J/g^0C

c_2 = specific heat of aluminium= ?

Now put all the given values in equation (1), we get

130.0\times 4.184\times (299-296)=-[23.5\times c_2\times (299-373)]

c_2=0.938J/g^0C

Molar mass of Aluminium = 27 g/mol

Thus molar heat capacity =0.938J/g^0C\times 27g/mol=25.3J/mol^0C

Light of wavelength 436.1 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.31 mm apart. What is the required distance from the slits to the screen
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The correct answer is "4.26 m".

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength,

\lambda = 436.1 \ nm

or,

  =436.1\times 10^{-9} \ m

Distance,

d = 0.31 \ mm

or,

  =0.31\times 10^{-3} \ m

Distance between the 1st and 2nd dark fringes,

(y_2-y_1) = 6\times 10^{-3} \ m

As we know,

⇒ \frac{d}{L} (y_2-y_1) = \lambda

or,

⇒ L=\frac{d(y_2-y_1)}{\lambda}

By substituting the values, we get

       =\frac{0.31\times 6\times 10^{-6}}{436.1\times 10^{-9}}

       =\frac{0.31\times 6\times 10^3}{436.1}

       =\frac{1860}{436.1}

       =4.26 \ m

Bromination of alkenes ?
Stells [14]
Chemistry - Bromination. Bromination: Any reaction or process in which bromine (and no other elements) are introduced into a molecule. Bromination of an alkene by electrophilic addition of Br2.

How does bromination of alkenes work?
Alkenes react in the cold with pure liquid bromine, or with a solution of bromine in an organic solvent like tetrachloromethane. The double bond breaks, and a bromine atom becomes attached to each carbon. The bromine loses its original red-brown color to give a colorless liquid.
