Light is faster than sound.

Explanation:

Tamiku [17]2 years ago

Answer: Lightning is mostly light and electricity, this light that is hitting is going at a rate of 299,792.458 km per second (or 186,282 miles per second) this is so much compared to sound which only travels at about 761 mph (or approximately 332 meters per second). Fun fact: The lightening you are seeing is that coming back to the cloud because the process happens so fast.

A rigid container holds 0.30g of hydrogen gas.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Part A:    \mathbf{Q =94 \ J} to two significant figures

Part B:    \mathbf{Q =160  \ J} to two significant figures

Part C:    \mathbf{Q =220  \ J} to two significant figures

Explanation:

Given that :

mass of the hydrogen = 0.30 g

the molar mass of hydrogen gas molecule = 2 g/mol

we all know that:

number of moles = mass/molar mass

number of moles = 0.30 g /2 g/mol

number of moles = 0.15 mol

For low temperature between the range of 50 K to 100 K, the specific heat at constant volume for a diatomic gas molecule = C_v=\dfrac{3}{2}R

For Part A:

Q = mC_v\Delta T

Q= 0.15 \ mol (\dfrac{3}{2})(8.314 \ J/mole.K )(100-50)K

Q= 0.15 \times (\dfrac{3}{2}) \times (8.314 \ J )\times (50)

Q=93.5325 \ J

\mathbf{Q =94 \ J} to two significant figures

Part B. For hot temperature, C_v=\dfrac{5}{2}R

Q = mC_v\Delta T

Q= 0.15 \ mol (\dfrac{5}{2})(8.314 \ J/mole.K )(300-250)K

Q= 0.15 \times (\dfrac{5}{2}) \times (8.314 \ J )\times (50)

Q=155.8875 \ J

\mathbf{Q =160  \ J} to two significant figures

Part C. For an extremely hot temperature, C_v=\dfrac{7}{2}R

Q = mC_v\Delta T

Q= 0.15 \ mol (\dfrac{7}{2})(8.314 \ J/mole.K )(2300-2250)K

Q= 0.15 \times (\dfrac{7}{2}) \times (8.314 \ J )\times (50)

Q=218.2425 \ J

\mathbf{Q =220  \ J} to two significant figures

How many photons with 10 ev are required to produce 20 joules of energy?
oee [108]
One electron Volt (eV) is equal to 1.6 x 10^-19 Joules. Therefore, 10 eV is equal to 1.6 x 10^-18 Joules. In order to produce 20 Joules of energy from 10 eV photons, we would require 20 x 1/(1.6  x 10^-18) = 1.25 x 10^19 particles. This demonstrates that in the world of particle physics, the Joule is a massive energy unit relative to the commonly used electron Volt.

What is 16.558 m/s rounded to three significant figures?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Option C. 16.6 m/s

Explanation:

To round this 16.558 m/s to 3sf, we need to count the number beginning from 1. When we get to the 3rd number( ie 5), we'll examine the fourth number(i.e 5)to see if it less than five or greater. If it less than five, then we'll discard it. But if it five or greater, we'll approximate it and add it to the 3rd number.

So.

16.558 m/s = 16.6m/s to 3sf

In a parallel circuit the current A stays in one path B splits and goes through two components C makes one circle
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

B splits and goes through two components

Explanation:

- A series circuit is a circuit in which the components are all connected along the same branch: as a result, the current flowing through the components is the same, while the sum of the potential differences across each component is equal to the emf of the battery

- A parallel circuit is a circuit consisting of separate branches, so that each branch has a potential difference equal to the emf of the battery. As a result, in such a circuit the current in the circuit splits and goes through the different branches/components.

So, the correct answer is

B splits and goes through two components
