Answer:

c. Should uncontrolled nuclear reactions be used for military applications?

Explanation:

The question on wether to use technology for military applications, is not a science question but a moral dilemma

You have seen magnets sticking to the refrigerator door, or maybe in your science class room. They attract metal items, for exam
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

B) shrinks

Explanation:

The magnetic force is a force exerted between two magnets, or two magnetic materials, or also on an electric charge moving in a magnetic field.

If we talk about magnetic material, the magnetic field they generates can be represented using a dipole: essentially, they have a north pole (where the lines of the field go out) and a south pole (where the lines of the field go in).

Also, the lines spread apart as we move away from the magnet itself. This means that the strength of the field (and so, the intensity of the force) decreases as we move away from the magnet.

Using this description, we can now understand that when we move the paper clip further from the magnet, the force exerted on the clip decreases, as the magnetic field becomes weaker. So, the correct answer is B.

For crystal diffraction experiments, wavelengths on the order of 0.25 nm are often appropriate.
Kamila [148]

Answer:

A) E = 4.96 x 10³ eV

B) E = 4.19 x 10⁴ eV

C) E = 3.73 x 10⁹ eV

Explanation:

A)

For photon energy is given as:

E = hv

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of photon = ?

h = 6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

λ = wavelength = 0.25 nm = 0.25 x 10⁻⁹ m

Therefore,

E = \frac{(6.625 x 10^{-34} J.s)(3 x 10^8 m/s)}{0.25 x 10^{-9} m}

E = (7.95 x 10^{-16} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})

<u>E = 4.96 x 10³ eV</u>

<u></u>

B)

The energy of a particle at rest is given as:

E = m_{0}c^2

where,

E = Energy of electron = ?

m₀ = rest mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

E = (9.1 x 10^{-31} kg)(3  x  10^8 m/s)^2\\

E = (8.19 x 10^{-14} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})\\

<u>E = 4.19 x 10⁴ eV</u>

<u></u>

C)

The energy of a particle at rest is given as:

E = m_{0}c^2

where,

E = Energy of alpha particle = ?

m₀ = rest mass of alpha particle = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

E = (6.64 x 10^{-27} kg)(3  x  10^8 m/s)^2\\

E = (5.97 x 10^{-10} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})\\

<u>E = 3.73 x 10⁹ eV</u>

Why you cannot use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance. What problem you may face if you use it
Stells [14]

The problem you would encounter is measuring the height of two different people, a tall one and a short one, and getting the same answer for both of them.

No matter WHAT we're hearing out of the White House these days, you CAN'T bend and stretch your standard measuring devices, or any other 'facts', to make them fit the thing that you're measuring.  This does not work.  You're always entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts.

A barometer accidentally contains 6.5 inches of water on top of the mercury column (so there is also water vapor instead of a va
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

(a). 14.4 lbf/in^2.

(b). 27.8 in, AS THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES, THE LENGTH OF MERCURY DECREASES.

Explanation:

So, from the question above we are given the following parameters which are going to help us in solving this particular Question;

=> The "barometer accidentally contains 6.5 inches of water on top of the mercury column (so there is also water vapor instead of a vacuum at the top of the barometer)"

=> "On a day when the temperature is 70oF, the mercury column height is 28.35 inches (corrected for thermal expansion)."

With these knowledge, let us delve right into the solution;

(a). The barometric pressure = water vapor pressure + acceleration due to gravity (ft/s^2) × water density(slug/ft^3) × {ft/12 in}^3 × [ height of mercury column + specific gravity of mercury × height of water column].

The barometric pressure= 0.363 + {(62.146) ÷ (12^3) × 390.6425}. = 14.4 lbf/in^2.

(b). { (13.55 × length of mercury) + 6.5 } × (62.15÷ 12^3) = 14.4 - 0.603.

Length of mercury = 27.8 in.

AS THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES, THE LENGTH OF MERCURY DECREASES.
