Answer:

20.3N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Area of the eardrum = 0.0002m²

Pressure on the eardrum = 1atm = 101325Nm⁻²

Unknown:

Force exerted on the eardrum = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force per unit area impacted on a body.

Pressure = $\frac{Force }{area}$

Force = Pressure x area

Now insert the parameters and solve;

Force = 101325Nm⁻² x 0.0002m² = 20.3N

True or false? Atoms are balanced because they have an equal number of electrons and protons

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

false you balance by having the same number of atom on the reactants side and the products side

E) Thermal energy is released during

vichka [17]

Answer:

e) True, f) False

Explanation:

e) Let consider a close system, that is, a system with no mass interactions with surroundings. Then, we get the following expression by the First Law of Thermodynamics:

$Q_{net,in} - W_{net, out} = \Delta U$ (1)

Where:

$Q_{net, in}$ - Net input heat, measured in joules.

$W_{net, out}$ - Net output work, measured in joules.

$\Delta U$ - Change in thermal energy, measured in joules.

Please notice that work comprises all kind of work (i.e. mechanical, electric, magnetic), whereas heat comprises all heat interactions including chemical and radioactive phenomena.

If thermal energy is released, then $\Delta U < 0$ , which is caused by three scenarios:

(i) $Q_{net,in} < 0$ , $W_{net, out} < 0$ , $|Q_{net,in}|>|W_{net,out}|$

(ii) $Q_{net, in} > 0$ , $W_{net,out} > 0$ , $|Q_{net,in}|$

(iii) $Q_{net,in}< 0$ , $W_{net, out}>0$

In the case $Q_{net,in} > 0$ , $W_{net, out}$ , the thermal energy of the system is increased. Therefore, thermal energy is released during some energy conversions. Answer: True

f) A liquid solidifies when temperature goes below point of fusion, meaning a realease of heat with no work interactions. That is:

$Q_{net, in} = \Delta U$ , $Q_{net, in} < 0$ (2)

If $Q_{net, in} < 0$ , then $\Delta U < 0$ . Then, if a liquid absorbs heat energy, then thermal energy is increase and the liquid does not solidifies. Answer: False.

A 50.0-kg box rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.300 and the

Dimas [21]

Answer:

98N and 147N

Explanation:

We have the following information:

$m=50kg\\\mu_s =0.4\\\mu_k = 0.2\\F=140N$

We can find the static fricton force as follow,

$F=\mu_s * N$

Where N is the normal force (mg)

$F=0.3*50*9.8\\F=147N$

Static friction force at 147N is greater than the force applied hence body does not move.

$F=\mu_k N = 0.2*50*9.8= 98N$

A circuit is built based on the circuit diagram shown. What is the current in the 50 Ω resistor

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

1.2 A

Explanation:

From the diagram attached, The three resistors are parallel because the each ends of the resistors are connected together. Since they are in parallel, the voltage across each resistor is the same. The voltage source connected in parallel to the resistors is 60 V. Therefore the voltage across the 50 Ω resistor is 60 V. Using ohm law:

Voltage (V) = Current (I) × Resistance (R)

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 60 V/ 50 Ω

I = 1.2 A

The current in the 50 Ω resistor is 1.2 A

Explain how the extension of a spring is determined

fgiga [73]

Answer:

For a given spring the extension is directly proportional to the force applied For example if the force is doubled, the extension doubles When an elastic object is stretched beyond its limit of proportionality the object does not return to its original length when the force is removed
