Physics

Answer:

The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.4 kJ/g

Explanation:

The given readings are;

The first (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₁ = 581 g

The second (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₂ = 526 g

The first joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₁ = 195 kJ

The second joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₂ = 327 kJ

The latent heat of vaporization = The heat required to evaporate a given mass water at constant temperature

Based on the measurements, we have;

The latent heat of vaporization = ΔQ/Δm

∴ The latent heat of vaporization of water = (327 kJ - 195 kJ)/(581 g - 526 g) = 2.4 kJ/g

The latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.4 kJ/g

Two stationary point charges of 3.00 nC and 2.00 nC are separated by a distance of 50.0 cm. An electron is released from rest at
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

1. the electric potential energy of the electron when it is  at the midpoint is - 2.9 x 10^{-17} J

2. the electric potential energy of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from the 3.00 nC charge is - 5.04 x  10^{-17} J

Explanation:

given information:

q_{1} =  3 nC = 3 x 10^{-9} C

q_{2} =  2 nC = 2 x 10^{-9} C

r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

the electric potential energy of the electron when it is  at the midpoint

potential energy of the charge, F

F = k \frac{q_{e}q}{r}

where

k = constant (8.99 x 10^{9} Nm^{2} /C^{2})

electron charge, q_{e} = - 1.6 x 10^{-19} C

since it is measured at the midpoint,

r = \frac{0.5}{2}

  = 0.25 m

thus,

F = F_{1}+ F_{2}

  = k\frac{q_{e} q_{1} }{r} + k\frac{q_{e} q_{2} }{r}

  = \frac{kq_{e} }{r} (q_{1} +q_{2})

  = (8.99 x 10^{9})( - 1.6 x 10^{-19} )(3 x 10^{-9} +2 x 10^{-9})/0.25

  = - 2.9 x 10^{-17} J

the electric potential energy of the electron when it is 10.0 cm from the 3.00 nC charge

r_{1} = 10 cm = 0.1 m

r_{2} = 0.5 - 0.1 = 0.4 m

F = k\frac{q_{e} q_{1} }{r} + k\frac{q_{e} q_{2} }{r}

  = kq_{e}(\frac{q_{1} }{r_{1} }+\frac{q_{2} }{r_{2} })

  = (8.99 x 10^{9})( - 1.6 x 10^{-19} )(3 x 10^{-9} /0.1+2 x 10^{-9}/0.4)

  = - 5.04 x  10^{-17} J

An electron in a mercury atom drops
aksik [14]

Since the electron dropped from an energy level i to the ground state by emitting a single photon, this photon has an energy of 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁸ Joules.

<h3>How to calculate the photon energy?</h3>

In order to determine the photon energy of an electron, you should apply Planck-Einstein's equation.

Mathematically, the Planck-Einstein equation can be calculated by using this formula:

E = hf

<u>Where:</u>

  • h is Planck constant.
  • f is photon frequency.

In this scenario, this photon has an energy of 1.41 × 10⁻¹⁸ Joules because the electron dropped from an energy level i to the ground state by emitting a single photon.

(a) According to Hooke's Law, the force required to hold any spring stretched x meters beyond its natural length is f(x)=kx. Sup
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

a) The work required to stretch the spring from 20 centimeters to 25 centimeters is 0.313 joules, b) The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta is 4\pi.

Explanation:

a) The work, measured in joules, is a physical variable represented by the following integral:

W = \int\limits^{x_{f}}_{x_{o}} {F(x)} \, dx

Where

x_{o}, x_{f} - Initial and final position, respectively, measured in meters.

F(x) - Force as a function of position, measured in newtons.

Given that F = k\cdot x and the fact that F = 25\,N when x = 0.3\,m - 0.2\,m, the spring constant (k), measured in newtons per meter, is:

k = \frac{F}{x}

k = \frac{25\,N}{0.3\,m-0.2\,m}

k = 250\,\frac{N}{m}

Now, the work function is obtained:

W = \left(250\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\int\limits^{0.05\,m}_{0\,m} {x} \, dx

W = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(250\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\cdot [(0.05\,m)^{2}-(0.00\,m)^{2}]

W = 0.313\,J

The work required to stretch the spring from 20 centimeters to 25 centimeters is 0.313 joules.

b) Let be r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta. The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve is given by the following integral:

A = \int\limits^{2\pi}_0 {[r(\theta)]^{2}} \, d\theta

A = 4\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\sin^{2}5\theta} \, d\theta

By using trigonometrical identities, the integral is further simplified:

A = 4\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\frac{1-\cos 10\theta}{2} } \, d\theta

A = 2 \int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {(1-\cos 10\theta)} \, d\theta

A = 2\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0}\, d\theta - 2\int\limits^{2\pi}_{0} {\cos10\theta} \, d\theta

A = 2\cdot (2\pi - 0) - \frac{1}{5}\cdot (\sin 20\pi-\sin 0)

A = 4\pi

The area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve r(\theta) = 2\cdot \sin 5\theta is 4\pi.
