Answer 1

Answer:

a)  x_{cm} = m₂/ (m₁ + m₂)   d , b)   x_{cm} = 52.97 pm

Explanation:

The expression for the center of mass is

                [tex]x_{cm}[/tex] = 1 / M  ∑ [tex]x_{i}[/tex] [tex]m_{i}[/tex]

Where M is the total masses, mI and xi are the mass and position of each element of the system.

Let's fix our reference system on the oxygen atom and the molecule aligned on the x-axis, let's use index 1 for oxygen and index 2 for carbon

              x_{cm} = 1 / (m₁ + m₂)   (0+ m₂ x₂)

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

             m₁ = 17 u = 17 1,661 10⁻²⁷ kg = 28,237 10⁻²⁷ kg

             m₂ = 12 u = 12 1,661 10⁻²⁷ kg = 19,932 10⁻²⁷ kg

             d = 128 pm = 128 10⁻¹² m

The equation for the center of mass is

               x_{cm} = m₂/ (m₁ + m₂)   d

b) let's calculate the value

            x_{cm} = 19.932 10⁻²⁷ /(19.932+ 28.237) 10⁻²⁷    128 10-12

            x_{cm} = 52.97 10⁻¹² m

            x_{cm} = 52.97 pm

Answer 2

(a) The expression for the center mass of these two atoms relative to oxygen atom is  [tex]X_{cm} = \frac{m_1 d_0 \ +\ m_2d}{m_1 + m_2}[/tex]

The given parameters;

mass of the carbon atom = 12umass of the oxygen atom, = 17 udistance between the atoms, = 128 pm

The center mass of these two atoms relative to oxygen atom is calculated as follows;

[tex]X_{cm} = \frac{m_1 d_0 \ +\ m_2d}{m_1 + m_2}[/tex]

where;

[tex]d_0[/tex] is distance of the atom in the fixed reference point (oxygen atom)

(b)

The numeric value for the center of mass of carbon monoxide in units of pm is calculated as follows;

[tex]X_{cm} = \frac{17u(0) \ +\ 12u(128 \ pm)}{(12u + 17u)}\\\\X_{cm} = \frac{(12 \times 128u) \ pm}{29u} \\\\X_{cm} = 53 \ pm[/tex]

An excited hydrogen atom emits light with a wavelength of 486.4 nm to reach the energy level for which n = 2. In which principal quantum level did the electron begin?

Answers

Answer:

The electron began in the quantum level of 4

Explanation:

Using the formula of wave number:

Wave Number = 1/λ = Rh(1/n1² - 1/n2²)

where,

Rh = Rhydberg's Constant = 1.09677 x 10^7 /m

λ = wavelength of light emitted = 486.4 nm = 486.4 x 10^-9 m

n1 = final shell = 2

n2 = initial shell = ?

Therefore,

1/486.4 x 10^-9 m = (1.09677 x 10^7 /m)(1/2² - 1/n2²)

1/4 - 1/(486.4 x 10^-9 m)(1.09677 x 10^7 /m) = 1/n2²

1/n2² = 0.06082

(a) In that 4.0 s interval, how much work is done on the object by the force accelerating it? What is the instantaneous power due to that force (b) at the end of the interval and (c) at the end of the first half of the interval?

Answers

Explanation:

A.

Given:

V = 13 m/s

t = 4 s

Constant acceleration, a= (V-Vi)/t

= 13/4

= 3.25 m/s^2

F = mass * acceleration

= 2.7 * 3.25

= 8.775 N.

Using equations of motion,

distance,S = (13 * 4) - (1/2)(3.25)(4^2)

= 26 m

Workdone, W = force * distance

= 8.775 * 26

= 228.15 J

B.

Instantaneous power, P = Force *Velocity

= 8.775 * 13

= 114. 075 W

C.

t = 2 s,

Constant acceleration, a= (V-Vi)/t

= 13/2

= 6.5 m/s^2

Force = mass * acceleration

= 2.7 * 6.5

a large parallel plate capacitor has plate seperation of 1.00 cm and plate area of 314 cm^2. The capacitor is connected across a voltage of 20.0 V and has air betweeen the plates. How much work is done on the capacitor as the plate seperation is inceased to 2.00 cm?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]W = -2.76\times 10^{-9}~J[/tex]

Explanation:

The work done on the capacitor is equal to the difference in potential energy stored in the capacitor in two different cases.

The potential energy is given by the following formula:

[tex]U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2[/tex]

where C can be calculated using the plate separation and area.

[tex]C = \epsilon\frac{A}{d} = \epsilon\frac{0.0314}{0.01} = 3.14\epsilon[/tex]

Therefore, the potential energy in the first case is

[tex]U = \frac{1}{2}3.14\epsilon (20)^2 = 628\epsilon[/tex]

In the second case:

[tex]C_2 = \epsilon\frac{A}{d} = \epsilon\frac{0.0314}{0.02} = 1.57\epsilon\\U = \frac{1}{2}C_2 V^2 = \frac{1}{2}1.57\epsilon (20)^2 = 314\epsilon[/tex]

The permittivity of the air is very close to that of vacuum, which is 8.8 x 10^-12.

So, the difference in the potential energy is

[tex]W = U_2 - U_1 = \epsilon(314 - 628) = -314 \times 8.8 \times 10^{-12} = -2.76\times 10^{-9}~J[/tex]

An electron is accelerated eastward at 1.06 109 m/s2 by an electric field. Determine the magnitude and direction of the electric field.

Answers

Answer:

Electric field, [tex]E=6.02\times 10^{-3}\ N/C[/tex] to the west direction.                  

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration of the electron, [tex]a=1.06\times 10^9\ m/s^2[/tex] (eastwards)

We need to find the magnitude and direction of the electric field. From Newton's law and electrostatic force,

ma = qE

[tex]E=\dfrac{ma}{q}[/tex]

[tex]E=\dfrac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.06\times 10^9}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}[/tex]

[tex]E=6.02\times 10^{-3}\ N/C[/tex]

The direction of electric field is in opposite direction of the acceleration of the electron. So, the electric field is acting in west direction.

Final answer:

The magnitude of the electric field accelerating an electron eastward is 6.04 × 10⁴ N/C, and its direction is westward since the electron has a negative charge.

Explanation:

To determine the magnitude and direction of the electric field that accelerates an electron eastward, we can use the formula F = qE, where F is the force, q is the charge of the electron, and E is the electric field strength. The force exerted on the electron can be found using Newton's second law, F = ma, where m is the mass of the electron (9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg) and a is the acceleration (1.06 × 10⁹ m/s²). Thus, F = (9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg)(1.06 × 10⁹ m/s²) = 9.66 × 10⁻¹¹ N. We then solve for E by rearranging the formula to E = F/q, with q being the charge of an electron (-1.60 × 10⁻¹¹ C). Thus, E = (9.66 × 10⁻¹¹ N) / (-1.60 × 10⁻¹¹ C) = -6.04 × 10⁴ N/C. The negative sign indicates that the electric field points westward since it accelerates the electron eastward, and the electron has a negative charge.

A bird is flying due east. Its distance from a tall building is given by x(t) = 28.0 m + (12.4 m/s)t – (0.0450 m/s3)t3. What is the instantaneous velocity of the bird when t = 8.00s?

Answers

Answer:

3.76 m/s

Explanation:

Instantaneous velocity: This can be defined as the velocity of an object in a non uniform motion. The S.I unit is m/s.

v' = dx(t)/dt..................... Equation 1

Where v' = instantaneous velocity, x = distance, t = time.

Given the expression,

x(t) = 28.0 m + (12.4 m/s)t - (0.0450 m/s³)t³

x(t) = 28 + 12.4t - 0.0450t³

Differentiating x(t) with respect to t.

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135t²

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135t²

When t = 8.00 s.

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 0.135(8)²

dx(t)/dt = 12.4 - 8.64

dx(t)/dt = 3.76 m/s.

Therefore,

v' = 3.76 m/s.

Hence, the instantaneous velocity = 3.76 m/s

Final answer:

To find the bird's instantaneous velocity at t = 8.00s, we differentiate its position function to get v(t) = 12.4 m/s - 0.135 m/s^2 × t^2, then substitute t = 8.00s to find v(8.00) = 3.76 m/s east.

Explanation:

The question asks for the instantaneous velocity of a bird flying due east when t = 8.00s, given the position function x(t) = 28.0 m + (12.4 m/s)t – (0.0450 m/s3)t3. To find the instantaneous velocity, we need to differentiate the position function with respect to time (t) to get the velocity function, v(t).



First, let's differentiate x(t):

Derivative of 28.0 m is 0 since it's a constant.

Derivative of (12.4 m/s)t is 12.4 m/s, as the derivative of t is 1.

Derivative of (-0.0450 m/s3)t3 is -0.135 m/s2 × t2, using the power rule for derivatives.



So, the velocity function is v(t) = 12.4 m/s - 0.135 m/s2 × t2. To find the instantaneous velocity at t = 8.00s, we plug in t = 8.00 into the velocity function:



v(8.00) = 12.4 m/s - 0.135 m/s2 × (8.002)



Calculating this gives us:



v(8.00) = 12.4 m/s - 0.135 m/s2 × 64.00 = 12.4 m/s - 8.64 m/s = 3.76 m/s



Therefore, the instantaneous velocity of the bird when t = 8.00s is 3.76 m/s east.

When a sound wave moves through a medium such as air, the motion of the molecules of the medium is in what direction (with respect to the motion of the sound wave)? Group of answer choicesa. Perpendicularb. Parallalc. Anit-paralleld. Both choices B and C ara valid

Answers

Answer:

Both choices B and C are valid

Explanation:

Sound wave are Mechanical wave. Air (or viscus fluid) is the medium of propagation. Sound is produced by the back and forth vibration of the object. Consider the vibration of object is from left to right then this back and forth vibrations of object displaces the molecules of the medium both rightward and leftward (to and fro) to the direction of the energy transport forming compression and rarefaction. This shows that the motion of the molecules of the medium is both parallel (and anti-parallel) to the direction of the sound wave propagation.

Final answer:

The motion of the particles of a medium in a sound wave is parallel to the direction of the wave motion.

Explanation:

A sound wave is a longitudinal wave, which means that the motion of the particles of the medium is parallel to the direction of the wave motion. In other words, the particles of the medium vibrate or oscillate back and forth in the same direction that the sound wave is traveling. This can be compared to compressing and stretching a coiled spring. As the wave propagates through the medium, it creates zones of compression and rarefaction, causing the air molecules to move in the same direction as the sound wave.

Answer:

The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

Explanation:

Given that,

We know that,

The resistance is inversely proportional to the diameter.

[tex]R\propto\dfrac{1}{D}[/tex]

The power is inversely proportional to the resistance.

[tex]P\propto\dfrac{1}{R}[/tex]

[tex]P\propto D^2[/tex]

We need to calculate the factor of the diameter of the filament reduced

Using relation of power and diameter

[tex]\dfrac{P_{i}}{P_{f}}=\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]\dfrac{D_{i}^2}{D_{f}^2}=\dfrac{54.3}{60}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{D_{i}}{D_{f}}=0.95[/tex]

[tex]D_{i}=0.95 D_{f}[/tex]

Hence, The factor of the diameter is 0.95.

Answer:

Explanation:

Po = 60 W

P = 54.3 W

Let the initial diameter of the filament is do and the final diameter of the filament is d.

Let the voltage is V and the initial resistance is Ro and the final resistance is R.

The formula for power is given by

P = V²/R

The resistance of the filament is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter of the filament. As voltage is constant so the power is

Power α diameter²

So, initial power is

Po α do²     ..... (1)

Final power is

P α d²         ..... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get

P / Po = d² / do²

54.3 / 60 = d² / do²

d² / do² = 0.905

d = 0.95 d

Thus, the diameter of the filament is reduced to a factor of 0.95 .

What is the magnitude of the net force ∑ F on a 1.9 kg bathroom scale when a 74 kg person stands on it?

Answers

Answer:

725.2‬ N

Explanation:

Since it is not stated the scale, the person or both accelerated or experience weightlessness, the net force acting on the bathroom scale is the weight of the person acting downward as the person stands on the scale .

                       Weight = mass of a body × acceleration due to gravity

                                    = 74 kg × 9.8 m/s²

If the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases, does the number of waves passing by you increase, decrease, or stay the same?

Answers

Answer:

If the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases, the number of waves passing by you increase.

Explanation:

The total number  of vibration or oscillation per unit time is called frequency of a waver. It is given by :

[tex]f=\dfrac{n}{t}[/tex]

n is the number of waves passing

t is the time taken

It is clear that the frequency is directly proportional to the number of waves. Hence, if the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases, the number of waves passing by you increase.

A 1.78-m3 rigid tank contains steam at 220°C. One-third of the volume is in the liquid phase and the rest is in the vapor form. The properties of steam at 220°C are given as follows: vf = 0.001190 m3/kg and vg = 0.08609 m3/kg.

Answers

Answer:

a) P = 2319.6[kPa]; b) 2.6%

Explanation:

Since the problem data is not complete, the following information is entered:

A 1.78-m3 rigid tank contains steam at 220°C. One-third of the volume is in the liquid phase and the  rest is in the vapor form. Determine (a) the pressure of the steam, and (b) the quality of the saturated  mixture.

From the information provided in the problem we can say that you have a mixture of liquid and steam.

a) Using the steam tables we can see (attached image) that the saturation pressure at 220 °C is equal to:

[tex]P_{sat} =2319.6[kPa][/tex]

[tex]v_{f}=0.001190[m^{3}/hr]\\v_{g}=0.08609[m^{3}/hr]\\[/tex]

b) Since the specific volume of the gas and liquid is known, we can find the mass of each phase using the following equation:

[tex]m_{f}=\frac{V_{f} }{v_{f} } \\m_{g}=\frac{V_{g} }{v_{g} } \\where:\\V_{f}=volume of the fluid[m^3]\\v_{f}=specific volume of the fluid [m^3/kg]\\[/tex]

We know that the volume of the fluid is equal to:

[tex]V_{f}=1/3*V_{total} \\V_{total}=1.78[m^3]\\[/tex]

Now we can find the mass of the gas and the liquid.

[tex]m_{f}=\frac{1/3*1.78}{0.001190} \\m_{f}=498.6[kg]\\m_{g}=\frac{2/3*1.78}{0.08609}\\m_{g}=\ 13.78[kg][/tex]

The total mass is the sum of both

[tex]m_{total} =m_{g} + m_{fluid} \\m_{total} = 498.6 + 13.78\\m_{total} = 512.38[kg][/tex]

The quality will be equal to:

[tex]x = \frac{m_{g} }{m_{T} }\\ x= \frac{13.78}{512.38} \\x = 0.026 = 2.6%[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

Gauge Pressure of a tank is

[tex]P_{gauge}=55\ kPa[/tex]

at that place atmospheric Pressure is  [tex]h=72.1\ cm\ of\ Hg[/tex]

Density of mercury [tex]\rho _{Hg}=13600\ kg/m^3[/tex]

Atmospheric Pressure in kPa is given by

[tex]P_{atm}=\rho _{Hg}\times g\times h[/tex]  

[tex]P_{atm}=13600\times 9.8\times 0.721[/tex]

[tex]P_{atm}=96.09\ kPa[/tex]

and Absolute Pressure is summation of gauge pressure and atmospheric Pressure

[tex]P_{abs}=P_{gauge}+P_{atm}[/tex]

Is the electric-field magnitude between the plates larger or smaller than that for the original capacitor?

Answers

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field will decrease

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor having plate area A and plate separation d is C=ϵ0A/d.  

Where ϵ0 is the permittivity of free space.  

A capacitor filled with dielectric slab of dielectric constant K, will have a new capacitance C1=ϵ0kA/d

        C1=K(ϵ0A/d)

        C1=KC

Where C is the capacitance with no dielectric.

The new capacitance is k times the capacitance of the capacitor without dielectric slab.  

This implies that the charge storing capacity of a capacitor increases k times that of the capacitor without dielectric slab.

The charge stored in the original capacitor Q=CV

The charge stored in the original capacitor after inserting dielectric  Q1=C1V1

The law of conservation of energy states that the energy stored is constant:

i.e Charge stored in the original capacitor is same as charge stored after the dielectric is inserted.

Q   = Q1

CV = C1V1

  CV = C1V1  -------2

We derived C1=KC. Inserting this into equation 2

   CV = KCV1

 V1 = (CV)/KC

         V/K

This implies the voltage decreases when a dielectric is used within the plate.

The relationship between electric field and potential voltage is a linear one

V= Ed

Therefore the electric field will decrease

Final answer:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor with non-uniform electric field due to increased plate separation will be less than the ideal scenario calculated by C = € A/d.

Explanation:

When the separation of the plates in a parallel-plate capacitor is not small enough to maintain a uniform electric field, the field lines will bulge outwards at the edges. This bulging implies that some of the field lines that emanate from one plate do not reach the opposite plate, reducing the effective area over which the field is acting. Consequently, this non-uniform field means that the capacitance of the capacitor will be less than the ideal calculation using the formula C = € A/d, where C is the capacitance, € is the permittivity of the medium between the plates, A is the plate area, and d is the separation between the plates.

If an electric current of 8.50 A flows for 3.75 hours through an electrolytic cell containing copper-sulfate (CuSO4) solution, then how much copper is deposited on the cathode (the negative electrode) of the cell? (Copper ions carry two units of positive elementary charge, and the atomic mass of copper is 63.5 g/mol.)

Answers

Answer:

75.5g

Explanation:

From the ionic equation, we can write

[tex]CU^{2+}+SO^{2-}_{4}\\[/tex]

next we find the number of charge

Note Q=it

for i=8.5A, t=3.75 to secs 3.75*60*60=13500secs

hence

[tex]Q=8.5*13500\\Q=114750C[/tex]

Since one faraday represent one mole of electron which equal 96500C

Hence the number of mole produced by 114750C is

114750/96500=1.2mol

The mass of copper produced is

[tex]mol=\frac{mass}{molar mass} \\mass=mole*molar mass\\mass=1.2*63.5\\mass=75.5g[/tex]

Hence the amount of copper produced is 75.5g

Answer:

75.5 g.

Explanation:

Dissociation equation:

Cu2+ + SO4^2- --> CuSO4

Q = I * t

Where,

I = current

= 8.5 A

t = time

= 3.75 hours

= 13500 s

Q = 8.5 * 13500

= 114750 C

1 faraday represent one mole of electron which equal 96500C

Number of mole of Cu2+

= 114750/96500

= 1.19 mol.

Mass = number of moles * molar mass

= 1.19 * 63.5

= 75.5 g.

(a). Value of resistance R is  1 ohm.

(b). The Value of time constant will be 3 second.

The time constant is defined as, time taken by the system to reach at 63.2% of its final value.

Time constant in RL circuit is,  [tex]=\frac{L}{R}[/tex]

Time constant in RC circuit is, [tex]=RC[/tex]

Since, in question given that both circuit have same time constant.

So,    [tex]RC=\frac{L}{R}\\\\R^{2}=\frac{L}{C}\\\\R=\sqrt{\frac{L}{C} }[/tex]

substituting L = 3H and C = 3F in above expression.

Explanation:

The position of the particle in simple harmonic motion is given by the equation x = (2.00 cm)sin(3.00πt), where x represents the displacement from the equilibrium position and t represents time in seconds.

(b) The maximum speed of the particle is equal to the amplitude of the motion multiplied by the angular frequency, vmax = (2.00 cm)(2π)(1.50 Hz). The earliest time at which the particle reaches this maximum speed is when it passes through its equilibrium position, t = 0.

(c) The maximum acceleration of the particle is equal to the amplitude of the motion multiplied by the angular frequency squared, amax = (2.00 cm)(2π)(1.50 Hz)2. The earliest time at which the particle reaches this maximum acceleration is when it is at its maximum displacement from the equilibrium position, which occurs at t = 0.

(d) To find the total distance traveled between t = 0 and t = 1.00 s, we calculate the area under the velocity versus time graph. Since the particle is in simple harmonic motion, the velocity varies sinusoidally, and the total distance traveled is equal to two times the amplitude of the motion, dtotal = 2(2.00 cm) = 4.00 cm.

Problem 12.6 A hockey player hits a puck so that it comes to rest 10 s after sliding 100 ft on the ice. Determine (a) the initial velocity of the puck, (b) the coefficient of friction between the puck and the ice.

Answers

Answer:

a)The initial velocity of the puck is 20 ft/s.

b)The coefficient of friction is 0.062.

Explanation:

Hi there!

a)For this problem let's use the equations of position and velocity of an object moving in a straight line with constant acceleration:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

v = v0 + a · t

Where:

x = position of the puck after a time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

a = acceleration.

t = time.

v = velocity of the puck at a time t.

Let's place the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the puck is hit so that x0 = 0.

We know that at t = 10 s the velocity of the puck is zero (v = 0) and its position is 100 ft (x = 100 ft):

100 ft = v0 · 10 s + 1/2 · a · (10 s)²

0 = v0 + a · 10 s

We have a system of two equations with two unknowns, so, we can solve the system.

Solving for v0 in the second equation:

0 = v0 + a · 10 s

v0 = -a · 10 s

Replacing v0 in the first equation:

100 ft = (-a · 10 s) · 10 s + 1/2 · a · (10 s)²

100 ft = -50 s² · a

100 ft / -50 s² = a

a = -2.0 ft/s²

Then the initial velocity of the puck will be:

v0 = -a · 10 s

v0 = -(-2.0 ft/s²) · 10 s

v0 = 20 ft/s

The initial velocity of the puck is 20 ft/s.

b) The friction force is calculated as follows:

Fr = N · μ

Where:

Fr = friction force.

N = normal force.

μ = coefficient of friction.

Since the only vertical forces acting on the puck are the weight of the puck and the normal force and since the puck is not being accelerated in the vertical direction, then, the normal force is equal to the weight of the puck. The weight (W) is calculated as follows:

W = m · g

Where "m" is the mass of the puck and "g" is the acceleration due to gravity (32.2 ft/s²).

Then the friction force can be calculated as follows:

Fr = m · g · μ

Since the acceleration of the puck is provided only by the friction force, then, due to Newton's second law:

Fr = m · a

Where "m" is the mass of the puck and "a" its acceleration. Then:

Fr = m · g · μ

Fr = m · a

m · g · μ = m · a

μ = a/g

μ = 2.0 ft/s² / 32.2 ft/s²

μ = 0.062

The coefficient of friction is 0.062.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]V = 1.44\times 10^{5}~V[/tex]

Explanation:

The electric potential can be found by using the following formula

[tex]V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}[/tex]

Applying this formula to each charge gives the total potential.

[tex]V = V_1 + V_2 + V_3 + V_4\\V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{4\times 10^{-6}}{(\sqrt{2}/2)^2} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{4\times 10^{-6}}{(\sqrt{2}/2)^2} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{3\times 10^{-6}}{(\sqrt{2}/2)^2} - \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{3\times 10^{-6}}{(\sqrt{2}/2)^2}\\V = \frac{16\times 10^{-6}}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\\V = 1.44\times 10^{5}~V[/tex]

Since the potential is a scalar quantity, it is safe to sum all the potentials straightforward. And since they all placed on the corners of a square, +3 and -3 μC charges cancel out each other.
