Numerical Problems:

A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to

katovenus [111]

The correct answer should be c.The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.

If the temperature drops that means that the molecules are coming together. If the temperature rises then it means that the molecules are spreading. If the kinetic energy falls down that means that they are slower which means that they are cooler.

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of: a) A person running across the room (assume 180 kg at 1 m/s) b) A 5.0 MeV proton

solmaris [256]

Answer:

a

$\lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \ m$

b

$\lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the person is $m = 180 \ kg$

The speed of the person is $v = 1 \ m/s$

The energy of the proton is $E_ p = 5 MeV = 5 *10^{6} eV = 5.0 *10^6 * 1.60 *10^{-19} = 8.0 *10^{-13} \ J$

Generally the de Broglie wavelength is mathematically represented as

$\lambda = \frac{h}{m * v }$

Here h is the Planck constant with the value

$h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s$

So

$\lambda = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{ 180 * 1 }$

=> $\lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \ m$

Generally the energy of the proton is mathematically represented as

$E_p = \frac{1}{2} * m_p * v^2_p$

Here $m_p$ is the mass of proton with value $m_p = 1.67 *10^{-27} \ kg$

=> $8.0*10^{-13} = \frac{1}{2} * 1.67 *10^{-27} * v^2$

=> $v _p= \sqrt{\frac{8.0 *10^{-13}}{ 0.5 * 1.67 *10^{-27}} }$

=> $v = 3.09529 *10^{7} \ m/s$

So

$\lambda_p = \frac{h}{m_p * v_p }$

so $\lambda_p = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{1.67 *10^{-27} * 3.09529 *10^{7} }$

=> $\lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m$

lanet R47A is a spherical planet where the gravitational acceleration on the surface is 3.45 m/s2. A satellite orbitsPlanet R47A

qaws [65]

$2.6×10^6\:\text{m}$

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity g is defined as

$g = G\dfrac{M}{R^2}$

and solving for R, we find that

$R = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{g}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(1)$

We need the mass M of the planet first and we can do that by noting that the centripetal acceleration $F_c$ experienced by the satellite is equal to the gravitational force $F_G$ or

$F_c = F_G \Rightarrow m\dfrac{v^2}{r} = G\dfrac{mM}{r^2}\:\:\:\:\:(2)$

The orbital velocity v is the velocity of the satellite around the planet defined as

$v = \dfrac{2\pi r}{T}$

where r is the radius of the satellite's orbit in meters and T is the period or the time it takes for the satellite to circle the planet in seconds. We can then rewrite Eqn(2) as

$\dfrac{4\pi^2 r}{T^2} = G\dfrac{M}{r^2}$

Solving for M, we get

$M = \dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

Putting this expression back into Eqn(1), we get

$R = \sqrt{\dfrac{G}{g}\left(\dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}\right)}$

$\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\sqrt{\dfrac{r^3}{g}}$

$\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2\pi}{(1.44×10^4\:\text{s})}\sqrt{\dfrac{(5×10^6\:\text{m})^3}{(3.45\:\text{m/s}^2)}}$

$\:\:\:\:= 2.6×10^6\:\text{m}$

the measure of each exterior angle of a regular pentagon is ___ the measure of each exterior angle of a regular nonagon

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

(a) 72°

(b) 40°

Explanation:

PENTAGON

First, we calculate the total angles in a Pentagon using:

180(n - 2)

Where n = number of sides of the polygon, in this case, 5.

Hence, the total angle in a polygon is

180(5 - 2) = 180 * 3 = 540°

Therefore, each angle will be:

540°/5 = 108°

Because the interior angle and exterior angle form a straight line (180°), the exterior angle of a regular pentagon will be:

180 - 108 = 72°

The exterior angle of a regular Pentagon is 72°

NONAGON

First, we calculate the total angles in a Nonagon using:

180(n - 2)

Where n = number of sides of the polygon, in this case, 9.

Hence, the total angle in a polygon is

180(9 - 2) = 180 * 7 = 1260°

Therefore, each angle will be:

1260°/9 = 140°

Because the interior angle and exterior angle form a straight line (180°), the exterior angle of a regular nonagon will be:

180 - 140 = 40°

The exterior angle of a regular Nonagon is 40°
