Answer:

<em>For a dry-cell battery to operate, oxidation will occur from the zinc anode and reduction will take place in the cathode. The most common type of cathode is a carbon graphite. Once reactants have been turned into products, the dry-cell battery will work to produce electricity.</em>

Explanation:

<em>The battery operates through electrochemical reactions called oxidation and reduction. These reactions involve the exchange of electrons between chemical species. If a chemical species loses one or more electrons, this is called oxidation. The opposite process, the gain of electrons, is called reduction.</em>

A force in the +x -direction with magnitude F(x)=18.0N−(0.530N/m)x is applied to a 7.90 kg box that is sitting on the horizontal

dsp73

Answer:

$v\approx 8.570\,\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

The equation of equlibrium for the box is:

$\Sigma F_{x} = 18\,N-(0.530\,\frac{N}{m} )\cdot x = (7.90\,kg)\cdot a$

The formula for the acceleration, given in $\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , is:

$a = \frac{18\,N-(0.530\,\frac{N}{m} )\cdot x}{7.90\,kg}$

Velocity can be derived from the following definition of acceleration:

$a = v\cdot \frac{dv}{dx}$

$v\, dv = a\, dx$

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot v^{2} = \int\limits^{17\,m}_{0\,m} {\frac{18\,N-(0.530\,\frac{N}{m} )\cdot x}{7.90\,kg} } \, dx$

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot v^{2} =\frac{18\,N}{7.90\,kg} \int\limits^{17\,m}_{0\,m}\, dx - \frac{0.530\,\frac{N}{m} }{7.90\,kg} \int\limits^{17\,m}_{0\,m} {x} \, dx$

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot v^{2} = (2.278\,\frac{m}{s^{2}})\cdot x |_{0\,m}^{27\,m}-(0.034\,\frac{1}{s^{2}})\cdot x^{2}|_{0\,m}^{27\,m}$

$v =\sqrt{2\cdot[(2.278\,\frac{m}{s^{2}})\cdot x |_{0\,m}^{27\,m}-(0.034\,\frac{1}{s^{2}})\cdot x^{2}|_{0\,m}^{27\,m}] }$

The speed after the box has travelled 17 meters is:

$v\approx 8.570\,\frac{m}{s}$

Light of wavelength 476.1 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.29 mm apart. What is the required distance from the slits to the screen

stich3 [128]

Answer:

The distance is $D = 2.6 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength of the light is $\lambda = 476.1 \ nm = 476.1 *10^{-9} \ m$

The distance between the slit is $d = 0.29 \ mm = 0.29 *10^{-3} \ m$

The between the first and second dark fringes is $y = 4.2 \ mm = 4.2 *10^{-3} \ m$

Generally fringe width is mathematically represented as

$y = \frac{\lambda * D }{d}$

Where D is the distance of the slit to the screen

Hence

$D = \frac{y * d}{\lambda }$

substituting values

$D = \frac{ 4.2 *10^{-3} * 0.29 *10^{-3}}{ 476.1 *10^{-9} }$

$D = 2.6 \ m$

Approximate the Sun as a uniform sphere of radius 6.96 X 108 m, rotating about its central axis with a period of 25.4 days. Supp

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

T = 184 seconds

Explanation:

First in order to solve this, we need to know which is the expression to calculate the period. This is an exercise of angular velocity, so:

T = 2π/w

Where w: angular speed (in rad/s)

So, let's calculate first the innitial angular speed:

w = 2π/T

Converting days to seconds:

25.4 days * 24 h/day * 3600 s/h = 2,194,560 s

Then the angular speed:

w = 2π / 2,194,560 = 2.863x10^-6 rad/s

Now, the innitial angular momentum is:

I = (2/5)Mr² replacing data:

I = 2/5* (6.96x10^8)² * M = 1.94x10^17m² * M

so the initial angular momentum would be:

L = Iω = 2.863x10^-6 * 1.94x10^17 M

L = 5.55x10^11 m²/s * M = final angular momentum

Now the final I = 2/5Mr²

Final I = 2/5 * (6.37x10^6)² * M = 1.62x10^13m² * M

Then 5.55x10^11m²/s * M = 1.62x10^13m² * M * ω → M cancels

ω = 3.42x10^-2 rad/s

Then the new period

T = 2π/ω = 2*3.14 / 3.42x10^-2

T = 184 seconds
