A crane lifts an air conditioner to the top of a building. If the building is 12 m high, and the air conditioner has a mass of 2

00 kg, how much work did the crane do to lift it? (Hint: the force the crane exerts is equal to the weight of the air conditioner)

Work needed = 23,520 J

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

height = 12 m

mass = 200 kg

Required

work needed by the crane

Solution

Work is the transfer of energy caused by the force acting on a moving object  

Work is the product of force with the displacement of objects.  

Can be formulated  

W = F x d  

W = Work, J, Nm  

F = Force, N  

d = distance, m  

F = m x g

Input the value :

W = mgd

W = 200 kg x 9.8 m/s²x12 m

W = 23520 J

For a proton in the ground state of a 1-dimensional infinite square well, what is the probability of finding the proton in the c
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The probability of finding the proton at the central 2% of the well is almost exactly 4%

Explanation:

If we solve Schrödinger's equation for the infinite square well, we find that its eigenfunctions are sinusoidal functions, in particular, the ground state is a sinusoidal function for which only half a cycle fits inside the well.

let L be the well's length, the boundary conditions for the wavefunction are:

\psi(0) = \psi(L) =0

And Schrödinger's equation is:  

- \frac{\hbar^2}{2m} \frac{d^2\psi}{dx^2} = E\psi

The solution to this equation are sines and cosines, but the boundary conditions only allow for sine waves. As we pointed out, the ground state is the sine wave with the largest wavelength possible (that is, with the smallest energy).

\psi_0(x)=\sqrt[]{\frac{2}{L} }\, \sin(\frac{\pi x}{L} )\\

here the leading constant is just there to normalise the wavefunction.

Now, if we know the wavefunction, we can know what the probability density function is, it is:

f_X(x) = |\psi|^2

So in our case:

f_X(x) = \frac{2}{L} \sin^2(\frac{\pi x}{L})

And to find the probability of finding the particle in a strip at the centre of the well of width 2% of L we only have to integrate:

P(X \in [0.49 L, 0.51L ])= \int\limits^{0.49L}_{0.51L } {\frac{2}{L} \sin^2(\frac{\pi x}{L})} \, dx

If we do a substitution:

x = u \, L

We get the integral:

\int\limits^{0.49}_{0.51 } 2\,  \sin^2(\pi u)} \, du

This integral can be computed analytically, and it's numerical value is .0399868, that is, almost a 4% probability.

How long does it take oxygen to diffuse a distance of 1 mm in water at room temperature? How long does it take oxygen to diffuse
Viktor [21]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,

travel distance = 1 mm

diffusion constant for the  molecule  of oxygen in water = 1 x 10⁻⁹ m²/s

we know that

 t = \dfrac{x^2}{2D}

t is the time taken for diffusion

x = 1 mm = 10⁻³ m

D is the diffusion

 t = \dfrac{(10^{-3})^2}{2\times 10^{-9}}

 t = \dfrac{(10^{3})}{2}

        t = 500 s

so, the option to the answer is 170 s

the correct answer is option A
