Plastic and glass are both poor heat conductors. They are insulators which means their electrons don’t move as freely as conductors.

A 75-g projectile traveling at 600 m /s strikes and becomes embedded in the 40-kg block, which is ini-tially stationary. Compute
levacccp [35]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

          Mass, m = 75 g

         Velocity, v = 600 m/s

As no external force is acting on the system in the horizontal line of motion. So, the equation will be as follows.

          m_{1}v_{1_{i}} = (m_{1} + m_{2})vi

where,  m_{1} = mass of the projectile

            m_{2} = mass of block

              v = velocity after the impact

Now, putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

              m_{1}v_{1_{i}} = (m_{1} + m_{2})vi

         75(10^{-3}) \times 600 = [(75 \times 10^{-3}) + 50] \times v

                                  = \frac{45}{50.075}

                              v = 0.898 m/s

Now, equation for energy is as follows.

               E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

                  = \frac{1}{2} \times (75 \times 10^{-3} + 50) \times (600)^{2}

                  = 13500 J

Now, energy after the impact will be as follows.

             E' = \frac{1}{2}[75 \times 10^{-3} + 50](0.9)^{2}

                 = 20.19 J

Therefore, energy lost will be calculated as follows.

           \Delta E = E  E'

                       = (13500 - 20) J

                       = 13480 J

And,   n = \frac{\Delta E}{E}

             = \frac{13480}{13500} \times 100

             = 99.85

             = 99.9%

Thus, we can conclude that percentage n of the original system energy E is 99.9%.

Which is a diatomic molecule? <br> A. Ar <br> B. CO <br> C. CO2 <br> D. NaCl
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: B. CO

Explanation:

Diatomic molecules are those that are formed by two atoms of the same chemical element (homonuclear diatomic molecule) or different chemical element (heteronuclear diatomic molecule).  

In this sense, oxygen is a homonuclear diatomic molecule because it is formed by two atoms of the same element (O_{2}) and Carbon monoxide (CO) is heteronuclear diatomic molecule.

Sodium Chloride NaCl is not a diatomic molecule because is a product of ionization, but it can be diatomic in its gas phase with a polar covalent bond.

In the Bohr model of hydrogen, the electron moves in a circular orbit around the nucleus. (a) Determine the orbital frequency of
Airida [17]

Answer:

(a) 6.567 * 10^15 rev/s or hertz

(b) 8.21 * 10^14 rev/s or hertz

Explanation:

Fn= 4π^2k^2e^4m * z^2/(h^3*n^3)

Where Fn is frequency at all levels of n.

Z = 1 (nucleus)

e = 1.6 * 10^-19c

m = 9.1 * 10^-31 kg

h = 6.62 * 10-34

K = 9 * 10^9 Nm2/c2

(a) for groundstate n = 1

Fn = 4 * π^2 * (9*10^9)^2*(1.6*10^-19)^4* (9.1 * 10^-31) * 1 / (6.62 * 10^-31)^3 = 6.567 * 10^15 rev/s

(b) first excited state

n = 1

We multiple the groundstate answer by 1/n^3

6.567 * 10^15 rev/s/ 2^3

F2 = 8.2 * 10^ 14 rev/s

Which data set has the smallest standard deviation?
777dan777 [17]
The answer would be B.
<span>
Standard deviation basically measures how spread out the values are. Without solving, you can easily tell which one among your choices have a smaller deviation. The closer the values are to each other the smaller the standard deviation. The values of choice B are the closest together, so you can assume that they have the smallest standard deviation. </span>
