Answer:

$E=1.62\times 10^{14}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of the paperclip, m = 1.8 g = 0.0018 kg

We need to find the energy obtained. The relation between mass and energy is given by :

$E=mc^2$

Where

c is the speed of light

So,

$E=0.0018\times (3\times 10^8)^2\\\\E=1.62\times 10^{14}\ J$

So, the energy obtained is $1.62\times 10^{14}\ J$ .

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Use equation for kinetic energy: Ek=mV²/2

m=700 kg

V=10m/s

Ek=700kg*100m²7s²/2

As long as they're both on the same planet, the greater mass always has the greater weight. In this question, Object-A has the greater mass, so it weighs more that Object-B does.

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two identical ions that are separated by a distance of 5.0A is 3.7×10^-9N.a) wh

jeyben [28]

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrostatic force, $F=3.7\times 10^{-9}\ N$

Distance, $r=5\ A=5\times 10^{-10}\ m$

(a) $F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}$ , q is the charge on the ion

$q=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}$

$q=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.7\times 10^{-9}\times (5\times 10^{-10})^2}{9\times 10^9}}$

$q=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C$

(b) Let n is the number of electrons are missing from each ion. It can be calculated as :

$n=\dfrac{q}{e}$

$n=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

n = 2

Hence, this is the required solution.

A layer of oil (n = 1.38) floats on an unknown liquid. A ray of light originates in the oil and passes into the unknown liquid.

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56

Explanation:

Using Snell's law as:

$n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}$

Where,

${\theta_i}$ is the angle of incidence ( 65.0° )

${\theta_r}$ is the angle of refraction ( 53.0° )

${n_r}$ is the refractive index of the refraction medium (unknown liquid, n=?)

${n_i}$ is the refractive index of the incidence medium (oil, n=1.38)

Hence,

$1.38\times {sin65.0^0}={n_r}\times{sin53.0^0}$

Solving for ${n_r}$ ,

Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

First find the electrical wattage

W = I^2 * R

R = 12 ohms

I = 2 amps

Wattage = 2^2 * 12

Wattage = 4* 12

Wattage = 48 watts.

Now you need to use the power formula

Work = Power * Time

Work = ?

Power = 48 watts

Time = 3 minutes = 3 * 60 = 180 seconds.

Work = 48 * 180

Work = 8640 J

That's C
