α=30°

F=20 N

Fh=F*cos(α)

Fv=F*cos(90-α)=F*sin(α) (vertical component of the force F)

Fv=20*0,5=10.00 N

Answer (C)

A ball of radius R and mass m is magically put inside a thin shell of the same mass and radius 2R. The system is at rest on a ho

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$x =\frac{-R}{2}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that mass

Thin layer radius $= 2R$

Generally the expression for ths solution is given as

Xcm =(m*0 =m(-2R))/2m =-mR/(2m)=-R/2

the center of mass will not move at initial state

Considering the center of mass of both bodies

$xcm=\frac{m*x+m*x)}{2m} =x$

$x =\frac{-R}{2}$

Therefore the enclosing layer moves $x =\frac{-R}{2}$

The bonds of oxygen molecules are broken by sunlight. The minimum energy required to break the oxygen-oxygen bond is 495 kJ/mol.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The wavelength of sunlight that can cause this bond breakage is 242 nm

Explanation:

The minimum energy of the sunlight that'll break Oxygen-oxygen bond must match 495 KJ/mol

But 1 mole of any molecule contains 6.02 × 10²³ molecules/mol

Each molecule of Oxygen will require (495 × 10³)/(6.02 × 10²³) = 8.22 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

E = hf

v = fλ

f = v/λ

f = frequency of the sunlight

λ = wavelength of the sunlight

v = speed of light = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

E = hv/λ

λ = hv/E

h = Planck's constant = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s

λ = (6.63 × 10⁻³⁴)(3 × 10⁸)/(8.22 × 10⁻¹⁹)

λ = 2.42 × 10⁻⁷ m = 242 nm.

A beam of protons enter the electric field of magnitude E = 0.5 N/C between a pair of parallel plates. There is a magnetic field

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

0.217 m/s

Explanation:

The protons in the beam passes undeflected when the electric force is equal to the magnetic force:

qE = qvB

where

q is the proton's charge

E is the magnitude of the electric field

v is the speed of the protons

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

Re-arranging the equation,

$v=\frac{E}{B}$

And by substituting

E = 0.5 N/C

B = 2.3 T

We find

$v=\frac{0.5}{2.3}=0.217 m/s$
