How can we use the balloon experiment to prove that air has weight (even though we cannot see air)?

Answer:

The end of the meter stick with the deflated balloon should have risen into the air. ... The only way the balloon could have lost mass is if the air that was inside it has mass. With this experiment you have shown that air takes up space and has mass, so you have proven that air is matter.

Place an empty balloon on weighing machine, then fill it with air and place on weighing machine.

You will observe that air filled balloon has more weight than the empty balloon.

  • initial velocity=0m/s=u
  • Acceleration=a=4.8m/s^2
  • Time=t=15s

Final velocity be v

\\ \sf\longmapsto v=u+at

\\ \sf\longmapsto v=0+4.8(15)

\\ \sf\longmapsto v=72m/s

At an outdoor market, a bunch of bananas attached to the bottom of a vertical spring of force constant 16.0 N/m is set into osci
aksik [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

4.53 kg

Explanation:

spring constant, K = 16 N/m

Amplitude, A = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Maximum speed, v = 37.6 cm/s = 0.376 m/s

The formula for maximum speed is given by

v = ωA

where, ω is the angular frequency

0.376 = ω x 0.2

ω = 1.88 rad/s

\omega =\sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}

m = \frac{K}{\omega ^{2}}

m = \frac{16}{1.88 ^{2}}

m = 4.53 kg

Thus, the mass of banana bunch is 4.53 kg.

calculate the electric field strength between two parallel plates separated by 0.50 cm, across which is a potential of 12 volts.
Alexxandr [17]
Formula for Electric Field strength , E =  V/d

where V = Voltage in volts, and d = distance of separation in meters.

d = 0.5 cm = 0.005 m,    V = 12 V

E = V/d =  12 / 0.005

E = 2400

Electric Field Strength = 2400 Volts/meter

An electron accelerates through a 12.5 V potential difference, starting from rest, and then collides with a hydrogen atom, excit
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Initial state    Final state

     3           ⇒        2

     3           ⇒        1

     2          ⇒         1

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use Bohr's atomic model

         E = - 13.606 / n²

where is the value of 13.606 eV is the energy of the ground state and n is the integer.

The energy acquired by the electron in units of electron volt (eV)

          E = e V

          E = 12.5 eV

all this energy is used to transfer an electron from the ground state to an excited state

        ΔE = 13.6060 (1 / n₀² - 1 / n²)

the ground state has n₀ = 1

       ΔE = 13.606 (1 -  1/n²)

        1 /n² = 1 - ΔE/13,606

         1 / n² = 1 - 12.5 / 13.606

         1 / n² = 0.08129

          n = √(1 / 0.08129)

          n = 3.5

 since n is an integer, maximun is

         n = 3

because it cannot give more energy than the electron has

From this level there can be transition to reach the base state.

 

Initial state    Final state

     3           ⇒        2

     3           ⇒        1

     2          ⇒         1
