We use mercury in thermometers because most metals are good conductor of heat and mercury is the only metal in liquid state.

What potential difference would an electron have to fall through to acquire a speed of 3.00*10^6 m/sec?

kirill [66]

Answer:

25.6 V

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of electron associated with its potential difference is given by eV which is equal to the 1/2 mv^2.

m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg, v = 3 x 10^6 m/s, e = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

eV = 1/2 m v^2

V = mv^2 / 2 e

V = (9.1 x 10^-31) x (3 x 10^6)^2 / (2 x 1.6 x 10^-19)

V = 25.6 V

A positive point charge q1 = +5.00 × 10−4C is held at a fixed position. A small object with mass 4.00×10−3kg and charge q2 = −3.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Therefore the speed of q₂ is 1961.19 m/s when it is 0.200 m from from q₁.

Explanation:

Energy conservation law: In isolated system the amount of total energy remains constant.

The types of energy are

Kinetic energy.
Potential energy.

Kinetic energy $=\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Potential energy = $\frac{Kq_1q_2}{d}$

Here, q₁= +5.00×10⁻⁴C

q₂=-3.00×10⁻⁴C

d= distance = 4.00 m

V = velocity = 800 m/s

Total energy(E) =Kinetic energy+Potential energy

$=\frac{1}{2} mv^2$ + $\frac{Kq_1q_2}{d}$

$=\frac{1}{2} \times 4.00\times 10^{-3}\times(800)^2 +\frac{9\times10^9\times 5\times10^{-4}\times(-3\times10^{-4})}{4}$

=(1280-337.5)J

=942.5 J

Total energy of a system remains constant.

Therefore,

E $=\frac{1}{2} mv^2$ + $\frac{Kq_1q_2}{d}$

$\Rightarrow 942.5 = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times10^{-3} \times V^2 +\frac{9\times10^{9}\times5\times 10^{-4}\times(-3\times 10^{-4})}{0.2}$

$\Rightarrow 942.5 = 2\times10^{-3}v^2 -6750$

$\Rightarrow 2 \times10^{-3}\times v^2= 942.5+6750$

$\Rightarrow v^2 = \frac{7692.5}{2\times 10^{-3}}$

$\Rightarrow v= 1961.19$ m/s

Therefore the speed of q₂ is 1961.19 m/s when it is 0.200 m from from q₁.

Which property allows objects that do not produce their own light

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Reflection

Explanation:

As light is scattered on items which do not generate illumination, they reflect it. This is attributed to the fact that light reflects off of themselves. The moon, for example, absorbs sunlight such that it can be seen at night.

Pls help. This is about heat. I got the answer, just need the working

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

You have to heat the calorimeter to 100 C from 20 C

this will take .20 kg * 390 j /kg-C * 80 C = 6240 j

You have to heat the mass of water to boiling point (100 C ) from 20C

this will take

.50 kg * 4182 j/kg-C * 80 = 167,280 j

AND you have to add enough heat to boil off .03 kg of water:

.03 kg * (2260000 j/kg-C ) = 67,800 j

Power = joules / sec = (6240 + 167280 + 67800) / 274.8 = 878 watts

Your answer may differ just a bit for slightly different or rounded values of specific heat or heat of fusion for water .....
