a. 100J
b. 200J
c. more than 200J
d. less than 200J
e. none of the above

Answer:

The second snowball hits the ground with a kinetic energy of 100 Joules

Explanation:

Given that,

From the edge of a roof you throw a snowball downward that strikes the ground with 100 J of kinetic energy. It is a case of conservation of energy.

At the highest point,

$mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2=mgh'+0$

$100=mgh'$

At lowest point,

$mgh'=K$

From above two equation, we get :

Kinetic energy, K = 100 J

So, the second snowball hits the ground with a kinetic energy of 100 Joules. So, the correct option is (A).

Two electrons with a charge of magnitude 1.6×10-19 C in an atom are separated by 1.5×10-10 m, the typical size of an atom. What

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

$1.02\cdot 10^{-8} N$ , repulsive

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric force between two charged particles is given by Coulomb's law:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where:

$k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2}$ is the Coulomb's constant

$q_1, q_2$ are the two charges of the two particles

r is the separation between the two charges

The force is:

- repulsive if the two charges have same sign

- Attractive if the two charges have opposite signs

In this problem, we have two electrons, so:

$q_1=q_2=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the magnitude of the two electrons

$r=1.5\cdot 10^{-10} m$ is their separation

Substituting into the formula, we find the electric force between them:

$F=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})^2}{(1.5\cdot 10^{-10})^2}=1.02\cdot 10^{-8} N$

And the force is repulsive, since the two electrons have same sign charge.

One mol of a perfect, monatomic gas expands reversibly and isothermally at 300 K from a pressure of 10 atm to a pressure of 2 at

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

1 mole of perfect, monoatomic gas

initial Temperature $(T_i)=300 K$

$P_i=10 atm$

$P_f=2 atm$

Work done in iso-thermal process $=P_iV_iln\frac{P_i}{P_f}$

$P_i$ =initial pressure

$P_f$ =Final Pressure

$W=10\times 2.463\times ln\frac{10}{2}=39.64 J$

Since it is a iso-thermal process therefore q=w

Therefore q=39.64 J

(b)if the gas expands by the same amount again isotherm-ally and irreversibly

work done is $=P\Delta V$

$V_1=\frac{RT_1}{P_1}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{10}=2.463 L$

$V_2=\frac{RT_2}{P_2}=\frac{1\times 0.0821\times 300}{2}=12.315 L$

$\Delta W=1\times (12.315-2.463)=9.852 J$

$\Delta q=\Delta W=9.852 J$

$\Delta U=0$

A very long straight current-carrying wire produces a magnetic field of 25 µT at a distance d from the wire. How far will the ma

daser333 [38]

The magnetic field strength of a very long current-carrying wire is proportional to the inverse of the distance from the wire. The farther you go from the wire, the weaker the magnetic field becomes.

B ∝ 1/d

B = magnetic field strength, d = distance from wire

Calculate the scaling factor for d required to change B from 25μT to 2.8μT:

2.8μT/25μT = 1/k

k = 8.9

You must go to a distance of 8.9d to observe a magnetic field strength of 2.8μT

How high would you have to lift a 1000kg car to give it a potential energy of:

Elza [17]

Given parameters:

Mass of the car = 1000kg

Unknown:

Height = ?

To find the heights for the different amount potential energy given, we need to understand what potential energy is.

Potential energy is the energy at rest due to the position of a body.

It is mathematically expressed as:

P.E = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

h is the height of the car

Now the unknown is h, height and we make it the subject of the expression to make for easy calculation.

h = $\frac{P.E }{mg}$

<u>For 2.0 x 10³ J;</u>

h = $\frac{2000}{1000 x 9.8}$ = 0.204m

<u>For 2.0 x 10⁵ J;</u>

h = $\frac{200000}{9.8 x 1000}$ = 20.4m

<u>For 1.0kJ = 1 x 10³J; </u>

h = $\frac{1000}{9.8 x 1000}$ = 0.102m
