The Professor's centripetal acceleration is 0.044 m/s²

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object moving in circular motion. It is usually directed towards the center of the rotation.

It is given by:

a = v²/r

where v is the velocity and r is the radius.

Given that the radius (r) = 4 m, velocity (v) = 0.419 m/s, hence:

a = v²/r = 0.419²/4 =  0.044 m/s²

The Professor's centripetal acceleration is 0.044 m/s²

Tres litros de oxigeno gaseoso a 15 grados centígrados y a presión atmosférica (1atm), se lleva a una presión de 10mm de Hg. ¿ c
lana [24]

Answer:

Three liters of gaseous oxygen at 15 degrees Celsius and at atmospheric pressure (1atm), is brought to a pressure of 10mm Hg. What will be the volume of the gas now if the temperature has not changed?

Explanation:

Given that, the temperature is constant

Then, using gay Lussac law

P1•V1 / T1 = P2•V2 / T2

Since temperature is constant

Then, T1 = T2 = T and they cancels out

So, we are left with

P1•V1 = P2•V2

Given that, .

Initial volume

V1 = 3 litres.

Initial pressure

P1 = 1atm = 101325 Pa

Final pressure

P2 = 10mmHg = 1333.22 Pa

Then, we want to find the final volume V2

Make V2 subject of formula.

V2 = V1•P1 / P2

V2 = 3 × 101325 / 1333.22

V2 = 288 litres

So, the final volume is 288 litres.

In Spanish

Dado que la temperatura es constante

Luego, usando la ley gay de Lussac

P1 • V1 / T1 = P2 • V2 / T2

Como la temperatura es constante

Entonces, T1 = T2 = T y se cancelan

Entonces, nos quedamos con

P1 • V1 = P2 • V2

Dado que, .

Volumen inicial

V1 = 3 litros.

Presión inicial

P1 = 1atm = 101325 Pa

Presión final

P2 = 10 mmHg = 1333.22 Pa

Entonces, queremos encontrar el volumen final V2

Hacer V2 sujeto de fórmula.

V2 = V1 • P1 / P2

V2 = 3 × 101325 / 1333.22

V2 = 288 litros

Entonces, el volumen final es de 288 litros

Violet light of wavelength 405 nm ejects electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.890 eV from a certain metal. What is the b
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

  Ф = 2.179 eV

Explanation:

This exercise has electrons ejected from a metal, which is why it is an exercise on the photoelectric effect, which is explained assuming the existence of energy quanta called photons that behave like particles.

            E = K + Ф

the energy of the photons is given by the Planck relation

            E = h f

we substitute

           h f = K + Ф

           Ф= hf - K

the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

            c = λ f

            f = c /λ

            Φ = \frac{hc}{\lambda } - K

let's reduce the energy to the SI system

            K = 0.890 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1eV) = 1.424 10⁻¹⁹ J

calculate

           Ф = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/405 10⁻⁹  -1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 4.911 10⁻¹⁹ - 1.424 10⁻¹⁹

           Ф = 3.4571 10⁻¹⁹ J

         

we reduce to eV

           Ф = 3.4871 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

           Ф = 2.179 eV

A bullet with a mass 2.25g is fired up into the air with a velocity of 187.5 m/s. What is the maximum height of the bullet
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

1793.7m

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of energy; the kinetic energy substended by the object equals the potential energy sustain by the object when it gets to its maximum position.

Now the kinetic energy; is

K.E = 1/2 × m × v2

Where m is mass

v is velocity

Hence.

K.E = 1/2 × 2.25 × (187.5)^2

Now this should be same with the potential energy which is given as;

P.E = m× g× h

Where m is mass of object

g is acceleration of free fall due to gravity = 9.8m/S2

h is maximum height substain by the object.

Hence P.E = 2.25 × 9.8 × h

From the foregoing analysis of energy conversation it implies;

1/2 × 2.25 × (187.5)^2 =2.25 × 9.8 × h

=> 1/2 × (187.5)^2 = 9.8 × h

=>1/2 × (187.5)^2 / 9.8 = h

=> 1793.69m = h

h= 1793.69m

h =1793.7m to 1 decimal place
