Answer:

Because each color is refracted differently, each bends at a different angle, resulting in a fanning out and separation of white light into the colors of the spectrum.

The spectrum is produced because different colours of light travel at different speeds in glass.

The spectrum is produced because different colours of light travel at different speeds in glass. Red light is slowed down least by glass and is refracted least. Violet light is slowed down most by glass and is refracted most. As a result, the coloured light spreads out to form a spectrum of white light.

What is the emf of this cell under standard conditions? Express your answer using three significant figures.

madreJ [45]

Complete Question

A voltaic cell utilizes the following reaction and operates at 298 K:

3Ce4+(aq)+Cr(s)→3Ce3+(aq)+Cr3+(aq).

What is the emf of this cell under standard conditions? Express your answer using three significant figures.

Answer:

The value is $E^o_{cell} = 2.35 V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The ionic equation is

$3 Ce^{4 +} _{(aq)} + Cr _{(s)} \to 3 Ce^{3+} _{(aq)} + Cr^{3r} _{(aq)}$

Now under standard conditions the reduction half reaction is

$Ce^{4+} + e \to Ce^{3+} ; \ \ E^o_r = 1.61 V$

And the oxidation half reaction is

$Cr^{3+} + 3e^{-} \to Cr ; \ \ \ E^o_o = - 0.74 V$

The emf of this cell under standard conditions is mathematically represented as

$E^o_{cell} = E^o _r - E^o _o$

substituting values

$E^o_{cell} = 1.61 - (- 0.74)$

$E^o_{cell} = 2.35 V$

You drop a 30 g pebble down a well. You hear a splash 2.7 s later. Ignoring air resistance, how deep is the well? Assume g = 9.8

lys-0071 [83]

I will assume here that the well is sufficiently short so that the time the sound takes to come from the bottom of the well to our ear is negligible.

Since the pebble moves by uniformly accelerated motion, the distance it covers is given by
$S= \frac{1}{2}gt^2$
where
$g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration
$t=2.7 s$ is the time the pebble takes to reach the bottom of the well

Therefore, the depth of the well is
$S= \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(2.7 s)^2 = 35.7 m \sim 36 m$
and the correct answer is B.

Design a tension member and slip-critical splice to carry a factored load of 500 kips. Please use a wide-flange section for the

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Kindly check the explanation section.

Explanation:

For the design we are asked for in this question/problem there is the need for us to calculate or determine the strength in fracture and that of the yield. Also, we need to calculate for the block shear strength.

From the question, we have that the factored load = 500kips. Also, note that the tension splice must not slip.

Also, the shear force are resisted by friction, that is to say shear resistance = 1.13 × Tb × Ns.

Assuming our db = 3/4 inches, then the slip critical resistance to shear service load = 18ksi(refer to AISC manual for the table).

If db = 7/8 inches, then the shear force resistance for n bolt = 10.2kips, n > 49.6.

The yielding strength = 0.9 × Aj × Fhb= 736 kips > 500

The fracture strength = .75 × Ah × Fhb = 309 kips.

The bearing strength of 7/8 inches bolt at the edge hole and other holes = 46 kips and 102 kips.

What is the density of a block of marble that

EleoNora [17]

Explanation:

Solution,

Volume (v)=287 cm^3

Mass(m)=816 g

Density(d)=m/v

=816/287

=2.84

So, the density of the block of marbles is 2.84 g/cm^3.
