Answer:

O2 has two more electrons compared to N2, with extra 2 electrons in the higher energy anti-bonding orbitals known as Diradical. These electrons have higher energy and are unpaired; therefore, O2 is more reactive

calculate the diameter of a silver wire of length 75cm , which is extended by 1.85mm when a 10kg mass is suspended from it's end

sdas [7]

Answer: $0.8\ mm$

Explanation:

Given

length of wire $l=75\ cm$

change in length $\Delta l=1.85\ mm$

mass of wire $m=10\ kg$

Young's modulus for silver $E=7.9\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2$

load on wire $F=mg$

$F=10\times 9.8=98\ kg$

change in length is given by

$\Delta l=\dfrac{Pl}{AE}$

Where A=area of cross-section

$A=\dfrac{Pl}{\Delta lE}$

$A=\dfrac{98\times 0.75}{1.85\times 10^{-3}\times 7.9\times 10^{10}}$

$A=\dfrac{73.5}{14.615\times 10^{7}}$

$A=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2$

also wire is the shape of cylinder so cross-section is given by

$A=\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2$

$\Rightarrow d^2=\dfrac{5.029\times 10^{-7}\times 4}{\pi }$

$\Rightarrow d^2=64.02\times 10^{-8}$

$\Rightarrow d=8\times 10^{-4}\ m$

$\Rightarrow d=0.8\ mm$

A cannon tilted upward at 30° fires a cannonball with a speed of 100 m/s. At that instant, what is the component of the cannonba

Sonja [21]

Answer:

the cannonball’s velocity parallel to the ground is 86.6m/S

Explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem remember that in a parabolic movement the horizontal component X of the velocity of the cannonball is constant while the vertical one varies with constant acceleration.

For this case we must draw the velocity triangle and find the component in X(see atached image).

V= Initial velocity=100M/S

$cos30=\frac{Vx}{V}$

V= Initial velocity=100M/S

Vx=cannonball’s velocity parallel to the ground

Solving for Vx

Vx=Vcos30

Vx=(100m/S)(cos30)=86.6m/s

the cannonball’s velocity parallel to the ground is 86.6m/S

A football player, with a mass of 69.0 kg, slides on the ground after being knocked down. At the start of the slide, the player

White raven [17]

Answer:

(a) -472.305 J

(b) 1 m

Explanation:

(a)

Change in mechanical energy equals change in kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is given by $0.5mv^{2}$

Initial kinetic energy is $0.5\times 69\times 3.7^{2}=472.305 J$

Since he finally comes to rest, final kinetic energy is zero because the final velocity is zero

Change in kinetic energy is given by final kinetic energy- initial kinetic energy hence

0-472.305 J=-472.305 J

(b)

From fundamental kinematic equation

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as$

Where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, a is acceleration, s is distance

Making s the subject we obtain

$s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{-2a}$ but a=\mu g hence

$s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{-2\mu g}=\frac {0^{2}-3.7^{2}}{-2*0.7*9.81}=0.996796272\approx 1 m$

It has been a hot summer, so when you arrive at a lake, you decide to go for a swim even though it is nighttime. The water is co

ale4655 [162]

Answer: This is because water has a higher Specific Heat Capacity than air.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of an object measures how much heat will be required to change its temperature.

Water has a higher specific heat capacity than air, so the temperature of the water will remain fairly constant even though the air surrounding the water is experience temperature changes.

Since air has a lower Specific Heat Capacity than water, heat from the sun will readily heat it up in comparison to water.
