Answer:

719

Explanation:

Conversion

1 picometer (pm) is equivalent to $1 × 10^{-12}$ meter

1 micrometer is equivalent to $1 × 10^{-6}$ meter

To find the number of layers, we divide the overal leaf thickness by the thickness of one atom hence dividing tex]0.125 × 10^{-6}[/tex] meter by $174 × 10^{-12}$ meter we get that the number of sheets will be as follows

$\frac {0.125× 10^{-6}}{174\times 10^{-12}}=718.3908045\approx 719$

Therefore, they are approximately 719 sheets

JUST PLZ HELP!!! Why does the lightbulb in the right electrical circuit turn on but not the one on the left?

jekas [21]

In the open circuit the current can not flow from one end of the power source to the other. Because of this there is no current flow, and therefore the light does not turn on.

Answer:

$\rho=1.8\times 10^{-8}\Omega.m$

Explanation:

Given:

width of the wire, $w=1.8\ mm=1.8\times 10^{-3}\ m$

thickness of the flat wire, $d=0.12\ mm=1.2\times 10^{-4}$

length of the wire, $l=12\ m$

voltage across the wire, $V=12\ V$

current through the wire, $I=12\ A$

Now the net resistance of the wire:

using ohm's law

$R=\frac{V}{I}$

$R=\frac{12}{12}$

$R=1\ \Omega$

We have the relation between the resistivity and the resistance as:

$R=\rho.\frac{l}{a}$

where:

a = cross sectional area of the wire

$\rho =$ resistivity of the wire material

$1=\rho\times \frac{12}{1.8\times 10^{-3}\times 1.2\times 10^{-4}}$

$\rho=1.8\times 10^{-8}\Omega.m$

A car cruises at a constant rate of 50 miles per hour. How much time will it take to go 600 miles?

Len [333]

Speed is constant. 50 miles = 1 hour. 600/50 = 12. 1hr(12) = 12 hours.

A 15-ft3 tank contains oxygen initially at 14.7 psia and 80°F. A paddle wheel within the tank is rotated until the pressure insi

Nikolay [14]

Explanation:

Equation for energy balance will be as follows.

$\Delta E_{system} = E_{in} - E_{out}$

$\Delta U = W_{in} - Q_{out}$

Hence, $W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})$

Therefore, we will calculate the final temperature as follows.

$\frac{P_{1}V}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V}{T_{2}}$

$T_{2} = \frac{20 psia}{14.7}(638 R)$

= 868.03 R

Now, we will calculate the mass as follows.

m = $\frac{P_{1}V}{RT_{1}}$

= $\frac{14.7 psia \times 15 ft^{3}}{0.3353 psi ft^{3}/lbm R \times 638 R}$

= 1.031 lbm

Hence,

$W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})$

Putting the values into the above equation as follows.

$W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})$

$W_{in} = 20 Btu + 1.031 lbm (\frac{0.160 Btu}{lbm R})(735 - 540)R$

$W_{in}$ = 655.2 Btu

Thus, we can conclude that work done by paddle wheel is 655.2 Btu.

Mainly because of the higher energy of blue light than red light.

In fact, light is made of photons, each one carrying an energy equal to
$E=hf$
where h is the Planck constant while f is the frequency of the light.
The frequency of red light is approximately 450 THz, while the frequency of blue light is about 650 Hz. Higher frequency means higher energy, so blue light is more energetic than red light and therefore it can cause more damages than red light.
