A physicist attempts to use Newton's laws of motion to predict the behavior of a molecule of water, but the laws fail to give ac

curate predictions. What is the most likely reason?
A) Liquids do not follow the laws of motion.


B) The molecule is small enough so that quantum effects are important.


C) Newton’s laws apply to atoms, but not to molecules.


D) The molecule was likely traveling at a near-light speed.

Answer:

B) The molecule is small enough so that quantum effects are important.

Explanation:

The molecules of water behave like wave and their motion cannot be accurately predicted by classical physics laws but can be properly predicted by quantum theory.

Classical physics describes matter that behave like solid particles while quantum effect describes matter that behaves like waves.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

A magnetic force can act on an electron even when it A) is at rest B) moves parallel to magnetic field lines C) both of these D)
Kobotan [32]

Answer: A)

Explanation: when an electron is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a force.

This force is given below as

F=qvB*sinθ

F = force experienced by charge.

q = magnitude of electronic charge

v = speed of electron

B= strength of magnetic field

θ = angle between magnetic field and velocity.

What defines the force exerted on the charge is the angle between the field and it velocity.

If magnetic field is parallel to velocity, then it means that θ=0° which means sin 0 = 0, which means

F = qvB * 0 = 0.

The charge being at rest has nothing to do with the angle between magnetic field strength and velocity.

A pirate fires his cannon parallel to the water but 3.5 m above the water. The cannonball leaves the cannon with a velocity of 1
Bumek [7]

Answer:

202.8m

Explanation:

Given that A pirate fires his cannon parallel to the water but 3.5 m above the water. The cannonball leaves the cannon with a velocity of 120 m/s. He misses his target and the cannonball splashes into the briny deep.

First calculate the total time travelled by using the second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

Let assume that u = 0

And h = 3.5

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

3.5 = 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2

3.5 = 4.9t^2

t^2 = 3.5/4.9

t^2 = 0.7

t = 0.845s

To know how far the cannonball travel, let's use the equation

S = UT + 1/2at^2

But acceleration a = 0

T = 2t

T = 1.69s

S = 120 × 1.69

S = 202.834 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the cannon ball is approximately 202.8m.
