Answer:

B. A device that absorbs and draws heat from a hot object,

dispersing it into the surroundings

Explanation

a heat sink is an object that disperses heat from another object. They're most commonly used in computers, but are also found in cell phones , DVD players and even refrigerators. In computers, a heat sink is an attachment for a chip that prevents the chip from overheating and, in modern computers, it's as important as any other component.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

A. 200 J

Explanation:

The initial kinetic energy depends on the initial speed, while the gravitational potential energy depends on the height, both balls are thrown with the same initial speed and from the same height. Therefore, due to the law of conservation of energy, the balls must have the same mechanical energy (the sum of both energies) when both impact the ground. Since the potential energy is zero at this point, its final kinetic energy must also be the same.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Radius of dee, r = 8 mm = 0.008 m

Electric field, e = 400 V/m

Magnetic field, B = 4.7 x 10^-4 T

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

(a) Let v is the speed of electrons.

$v = \frac{Bqr}{m}$

$v = \frac{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.008}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}$

v = 661098.9 = 661099 m/s

(b)

$\frac{e}{m}=\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

e / m = 1.76 x 10^14 C / kg

K = 0.5 x mv²

K = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x 661099 x 661099

K = 1.99 x 10^-19 J

K = 1.24 eV

So, the potential difference is

V = 1.24 V

(d) if the acceleration voltage is doubled

V = 2 x 1.24 = 2.48 V

So, Kinetic energy

K = 2.48 eV

K = 2.48 x 1.6 x 10^-19 = 3.968 x 10^-19 J

Let v is the speed

K = 0.5 x mv²

3.968 x 10^-19 = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x v²

v = 933856.5 m/s

Let the new radius is r.

$r=\frac{mv}{Bq}$

$r=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 933856.5}{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

r = 0.0113 m = 1.13 cm
