Answer:

P=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2

Explanation:

Given that,

A radio wave transmits 38.5 W/m² of power per unit area.

A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

We need to find the radiation pressure on it. It is given by the formula as follows :

P=\dfrac{2I}{c}

Where

c is speed of light

Putting all the values, we get :

P=\dfrac{2\times 38.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\\=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2

So, the radiation pressure is 2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2.

Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that;

horizontal circle at a rate of 2.33 revolutions per second

the magnetic field of the Earth is 0.500 gauss

the baton is 60.1 cm in length.

the magnetic field  is oriented at 14.42°

we wil get the area due to rotation of radius of baton is

\Delta A = \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2

The  formula for the induced emf is

E = \frac{\Delta  \phi}{\Delta  t}

\phi  = \texttt {magnetic flux}

E=\frac{\Delta (BA) }{\Delta  t}

=B\frac{\Delta  A}{\Delta  t}

B is the magnetic field strength

substitute

\texttt {substitute}\  \frac{1}{2} \Delta \theta R^2 \ \ for \Delta  A

E=B\frac{(\Delta  \theta R^3/2)}{\Delta  t} \\\\=\frac{1}{2} BR^2\omega

The magnetic field of the earth is oriented at 14.42

\omega =2.33\\\\L=60.1c,\\\\\theta=14.42\\\\B=0.5

we plug in the values in the equation above

so, the induce EMF will be

E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)R^2\omega\\\\E=\frac{1}{2} \times (B\sin \theta)(\frac{L}{2} )\omega

=\frac{1}{2} \times0.5gauss\times\frac{0.0001T}{1gauss} \times\sin 14.42\times(\frac{60.1\times10^-^2m}{2} )^2(2.33rev/s)(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev} )\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.2490\times0.0903\times14.63982\\\\=2.5\times10^-^5\times0.32917\\\\=8.229\times10^-^6V

The effective nuclear charge experienced by the outermost electron of Na is different than the effective nuclear charge experien
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

B) Na has a lower first ionization energy than Ne.  

Explanation:

The atomic number¹ for Na has a value of 11 while in the case of Ne this value is 10. That means that Sodium (Na) has a total number of 11 protons, 11 neutrons and 11 electrons (since it is electrically neutral²). For the case of Neon (Ne) it has 10 protons, 10 neutrons and 10 electrons.

As the atomic number increases, the atomic radius³ shrinks (the orbitals are closer to the nucleus) as a consequence of the electric force. For the case of sodium (Na) the electron in the outermost orbital will experience a lower electric force than the electron placed in the outermost orbital in the atom of Neon (Ne).

Although, the sodium’s atom has more protons and therefore electrons, these eleven electrons will be organized according with the electronic configuration⁴ in the different shells (orbitals) of probabilities of their positions around the atom.

The electronic configuration for Na is:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹

The electronic configuration for Ne is:

1s²2s²2p⁶

Since Na needs another orbital to placed its outermost electron, the atomic radius will have a greater value than Ne. The electric force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two charged particles, as is established in Coulomb’s law:

F = \kappa_{0} \frac{q1q2}{r^{2}}    (1)

Where q1 and q2 are the charges, \kappa_{0} is the proportionality constant and r is the distance between the two charges.

Hence, the electron in the outermost orbital of Ne is submitted to a greater electric force according with equation 1, the required energy to remove it (ionization energy⁵) will be greater than in the case of Na (<u>for that case will be the first ionization energy</u>).

¹Atomic number: The number of protons or electrons in an atom.

²Electricaly neutral: All the charges are balanced (same number of positive charges and negative charges).

³Atomic radius: Distance between the center of the nucleus and an electron placed in the outermost orbital for a specific atom.

⁴Electronic configuration: Show how the electrons of an atom will be arranged in different orbitals according with the fact that each orbital has a specific number of electrons that can be held.

⁵Ionization energy: Energy required to remove an electron from an atom.

Key values:

First ionization energy of Na: 495 kJ/mol

First ionization energy of Ne: 2080 kJ/mol

Atomic radius of Na: 2.27 Å

Atomic radius of Ne: 1.54 Å

Atomic number of Na: 11

Atomic number of Ne: 10

Describe and explain how the movement and arrangement of the particles in a block of ice change as the ice melts to form liquid
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Ice is water in solid phase, in this phase, the particles are very close together and relatively in fixed positions.

As the temperature starts to increase (thermal energy), also does the kinetic energy of the particles (so we have a change from thermal energy to kinetic energy), so they start to move "more", and the position of the particles starts to be less "fixed". There is a point where the particles have enough energy, and this point is where the phase of the water changes from solid to liquid phase (the fusion point). After this point the water can not hold his shape, and takes the shape of the container where it is.

Suppose the price elasticity of supply for gasoline in the short run is estimated to be 0.4. Due to an unexpected surge in the d
netineya [11]

Answer:

increase by 8 percent

Explanation:

<em>Price elasticity of supply of a product is the degree of responsiveness of supply of that product to a change in price.</em> Simply put:

Price Elasticity of supply = change in quantity supply/ change in price.

In this case, price elasticity of supply of gasoline = 0.4

Percentage price increase = 20 percent.

Hence,

           0.4 = change in supply/20

           Change in supply = 20 x 0.4 = 8 percent

<em>Therefore, the quantity supply of gasoline will increase by 8 percent</em>
