Answer:

Nuclear power is presently a sustainable energy source, but could become completely renewable if the source of uranium changed from mined ore to seawater. Since U extracted is continuously replenished through geologic processes, nuclear would become as endless as solar.

g When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel 3.2 10-15 m before

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Time, $t=1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s$

Explanation:

Given that,

When a high-energy proton or pion traveling near the speed of light collides with a nucleus, it may travel $3.2\times 10^{-15}\ m$ before interacting.

Let t is the time interval required for the strong interaction to occur. It will move with the speed of light. So,

$t=\dfrac{d}{c}\\\\t=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-15}}{3\times 10^8}\\\\t=1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s$

So, the time interval is $1.07\times 10^{-23}\ s$

Two ropes are attached to either side of a 100.0 kg wagon as shown below. The rope on the right is pulled at an angle 40.0° rela

NikAS [45]

The acceleration of the wagon is found by applying Newton's Second Law of motion.

1. The responses for question 1 are;

x-component of the tension in the rope on the right is approximately 91.93 N

y-component of the tension in the rope on the right is approximately 71.135 N

x-component of the tension in the rope on the left is -80.0 N

y-component of the tension in the rope on the left is 0

2. The net force in the x-direction is approximately 11.93 N

3. The net acceleration of the wagon in the horizontal direction is approximately 0.1193 m/s².

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

Mass of the wagon, m = 100.0 kg

Angle of inclination to the horizontal of the rope to the right, θ = 40.0°

Tension in the rope on the right = 120.0 N

Direction in which the rope on the left is pulled = To the west

Tension in the rope on the left = 80.0 N

1. The x and y component of the tension in the rope on the right are;

x-component = 120.0 N × cos(40.0°) ≈ 91.93 N

y-component = 120.0 N × sin(40.0°) ≈ 77.135 N

The x and y component of the tension in the rope on the left are;

x-component = 80.0 N × cos(180°) = -80.0 N

y-component = 80.0 N × sin(180°) = 0.0 N

2. The net force in the horizontal direction, Fₓ, is found as follows;

Fₓ = The x-component of the rope on the left + The x-component of the rope on the right

Which gives;

Fₓ = 91.93 N - 80.0 N = 11.93 N

3. The net acceleration of the block is given as follows;

According to Newton's Second Law of motion, we have;

Force in the horizontal direction, Fₓ = Mass of wagon, m × Acceleration of the wagon in the horizontal direction, aₓ

Fₓ = m × aₓ

Therefore;

$\displaystyle a_x = \frac{F_x}{m} \approx \frac{11.93 \, N}{100.0 \, kg} = \mathbf{0.1193 \ m/s^2}$

The acceleration of the wagon in the horizontal direction, aₓ ≈ 0.1193 m/s².

The Balmer series in hydrogen atom produces only infrared emission. O True O False

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

As we know that, the Balmer series gives the n values as,

$n_{i}=2$ .

$[tex]n_{f}=3,4,5,.....\infty$ .

Now the value of wavelength can be calculated as,

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R(\frac{1}{n_{i} }-\frac{1}{n_{f} } )z^{2}$ .

Here, $R=109677 cm^{-1}$ .

And $n_{f}=3$ .

Now,

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=109677 cm^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3})$ .

Therefore,

$\lambda=\frac{6}{109677} cm\\\lambda=547\times 10^{-9} m\\ \lambda=547 nm$

Therefore, the wavelength of Balmer series lies in visible region which is 547 nm.

A photon detector captures a photon with an energy of 4.29 ✕ 10−19 J. What is the wavelength, in nanometers, of the photon?

serious [3.7K]

Answer : The wavelength of photon is, $4.63\times 10^{2}nm$

Explanation : Given,

Energy of photon = $4.29\times 10^{-19}J$

Formula used :

$E=h\times \nu$

As, $\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

So, $E=h\times \frac{c}{\lambda}$

where,

$\nu$ = frequency of photon

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of photon = ?

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$4.29\times 10^{-19}J=(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times \frac{(3\times 10^{8}m/s)}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=4.63\times 10^{-7}m=4.63\times 10^{-7}\times 10^9nm=4.63\times 10^{2}nm$

Conversion used : $1nm=10^{-9}m$

Therefore, the wavelength of photon is, $4.63\times 10^{2}nm$
