Answer:

The number of moles of the air is 4.464 x 10⁻⁴ mole

The number of molecules is 2.688 x 10²⁰ molecules

Explanation:

Given;

pressure of the air, P = 1 atm

volume of the air, V = 1 m³

temperature of the air, T = 0° C = 273 K

The number of moles of the air is calculated as;

PV = nRT

$n = \frac{PV}{RT}$

where;

n is the number of moles

R is ideal gas constant = 8.2057m³atm/mol.k

$n = \frac{1atm \ \times \ 1m^3}{(8.2057 \ m^3 atm/mol.K)(273 \ K)} = 4.464 \ \times 10^{-4} \ mol.$

The number of molecules is calculated as follows;

1 mole ---------------------> 6.022 x 10²³ molecules

4.464 x 10⁻⁴ mole ----------> ?

= (4.464 x 10⁻⁴) (6.022 x 10²³ molecules)

= 2.688 x 10²⁰ molecules of air.

A resistor, an inductor, and a switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. Suppose at f

Airida [17]

Answer:

c. The steady-state value of the current depends on the resistance of the resistor.

Explanation:

Since all the components are connected in series, when the switch is at first open, current will not flow round the circuit. As current needs to flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and switch to the negative terminal of the battery.

But the moment the switch is closed, at the initial time t = 0, the current flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and switch to the negative terminal of the battery. It then begins to increase at a rate that depends upon the value of the inductance of the inductor.

What are three areas of science that rely on physical science?

yanalaym [24]

"physical science" is a branch of science that is based on practical tests and explanations of the different phenomena. It is based on scientific evidence and tests/experiments.

Some of the branches that are based on physical science are:
1- Astronomy
2- Electronics
3- Engineering
4- Radiology

A certain factory whistle can be heard up to a distance of 2.5 km. Assuming that the acoustic output of the whistle is uniform i

enyata [817]

Answer:

Emitted power will be equal to $7.85\times 10^{-5}watt$

Explanation:

It is given factory whistle can be heard up to a distance of R=2.5 km = 2500 m

Threshold of human hearing $I=10^{-12}W/m^2$

We have to find the emitted power

Emitted power is equal to $P=I\times A$

$P=I\times 4\pi R^2$

$P=10^{-12}\times 4\times 3.14\times 2500^2=7.85\times 10^{-5}watt$

So emitted power will be equal to $7.85\times 10^{-5}watt$

The emission of x rays can be described as an inverse photoelectric effect.

timama [110]

Answer:

The potential difference through which an electron accelerates to produce x rays is $1.24\times 10^4\ volts$ .

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of the x -rays, $\lambda=0.1\ nm=0.1\times 10^{-9}\ m$

The energy of the x- rays is given by :

$E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

The energy of an electron in terms of potential difference is given by :

$E=eV$

So,

$\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}=eV$

V is the potential difference

e is the charge on electron

$V=\dfrac{hc}{e\lambda}$

$V=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.1\times 10^{-9}}$

V = 12431.25 volts

$V=1.24\times 10^4\ volts$

So, the potential difference through which an electron accelerates to produce x rays is $1.24\times 10^4\ volts$ . hence, this is the required solution.
