Answer:

The equation for momentum of a piece of matter.

In either case, the momentum would be less than a linebacker hitting you at full speed. The equation for momentum is written: p = mv where p stands for momentum. That is, mass times velocity equals momentum.

A physics student swings a tennis ball connected to a rope in a vertical circle with a constant speed of 6.29 m/s. The ball has

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

r = 0.5 m

Explanation:

First we find the angular speed of the ball by using its period:

ω = θ/t

For the time period:

ω = angular speed = ?

θ = angular displacement = 2π rad

t = time period = 0.5 s

Therefore,

ω = 2π rad/0.5 s

ω = 12.56 rad/s

Now, for the radius:

v = rω

r = v/ω

where,

v = linear speed = 6.29 m/s

r = radius = ?

r = (6.29 m/s)/(12.56 rad/s)

When atoms of an element are excited, they emit specific wavelengths of light. How is this similar to a fingerprint when Fraunho

Anika [276]

Answer:

As you may know, each element has a "fixed" number of protons and electrons.

These electrons live in elliptical orbits around the nucleus, called valence levels or energy levels.

We know that as further away are the orbits from the nucleus, the more energy has the electrons in it. (And those energies are fixed)

Now, when an electron jumps from a level to another, there is also a jump in energy, and that jump depends only on the levels, then the jump in energy is fixed.

Particularly, when an electron jumps from a more energetic level to a less energetic one, that change in energy must be compensated in some way, and that way is by radiating a photon whose energy is exactly the same as the energy of the jump.

And the energy of a photon is related to the wavelength of the photon, then we can conclude that for a given element, the possible jumps of energy levels are known, meaning that the possible "jumps in energy" are known, which means that the wavelengths of the radiated photons also are known. Then by looking at the colors of the bands (whose depend on the wavelength of the radiated photons) we can know almost exactly what elements are radiating them.

Neko [114]

Question (continuation)

(a) What is the change in electric potential energy when the dipole moment of a molecule changes its orientation with respect to E S from parallel to perpendicular?

(b) At what absolute temperature T is the average translational kinetic energy 3/2kT of a molecule equal to the change in potential energy calculated in part (a)?

Answer:

a. 9.0 * 10^-24 Joules

b. 0.44K

Explanation:

Given

Let p = dipole moment = 5.0 * 10^-30 Cm

Let E = Magnitude = 1.8 * 10^6 N/m

The charge in electric potential = Final Charge - Initial Charge

Initial Charge = Potential Energy

Initial Energy = -pE cosФ where Ф = 0

So, initial Energy = - 5.0 * 10^-30 * 1.8 * 10^6

Initial Energy = -9 * 10^-24 Joules

Final Energy = 0

Charge = 0 - (-9.0 * 10^-24)

Charge = 9.0 * 10^-24 Joules

Absolute Temperature

Change in Kinetic Energy = Change in Potential Energy = 9.0 * 10^-24

Change in Kinetic Energy = 3/2kT where k is Steven-Boltzmann constant = 1.38 * 10^-23

So,

9.0 * 10^-24 = 3/2 * 1.38 * 10^-23 * T

T = (9.0 * 10^-24 * 2)/(3 * 1.38 * 10^-23)

T = (18 * 10^-24)/(4.14 * 10^-23)

T = 0.44K

Energy is conventionally measured in Calories as well as in joules. One Calorie in nutrition is one kilocalorie, defined as 1 kc

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

a) The student must run flight of stairs to lose 1.00 kg of fat 709.5 times.

b) Average power

P(w)= 1062.07 [w]

P(hp)=1.42 [hp]

c) This activity is highly unpractical, because the high amount of repetitions he has to due in order to lose, just 1 Kg of fat.

Explanation:

First, lets consider the required amount of work to move the mass of the student. (considering running stairs just as a vertical movement)

Work:

$W= F*d= m*g*d$

Where m is the mass of the student, g is gravity (9.8 m/s) and d is the total distance going up the stairs (0.15m *85steps= 12.75m )

$W= F*d= m*g*d=85* 9.8*12.75=10620.75 [J]$

Converting from Joules to Kcals:

$\frac{10620.75}{4186} =2.537 Kcal$

Now lets take into account the efficiency of the human body (20%)

2.537 ---> 20%

x ---> 100%

$x=\frac{2.537*100}{20} =12.685$

So the student is consuming 12.685 KCals each time he runs up the stairs.

Now,

1 g --> 9 Kcals

1000 g --> 9000KCals

Burning 1 g of fat, requieres 9 KCals, 1000g burns 9000KCals. So in order to burn a 1Kg of fat:

$\frac{9000Kcals}{12.685Kcals} =709.5 times$

He must run up the stairs 709.5 times, to burn 1 Kg of fat.

********************

For b) just converting units, taking into account the time lapse. (53103.75 is the 100% of the energy in joules, from converting 12.685Kcals to joules)

$Power=\frac{Joules}{Seconds} =\frac{53103.75}{50} =1062.075 [W]\\$

$P(hp)=\frac{P(w)}{745.7} =\frac{1062.075}{745.7} =1.42[hp]$
