Answer:

All matter contained electrons

Explanation:

The discovery and characterization of cathode ray suggested that it was a subatomic particle and cathode ray ( electron) was the first discovered. It immensely became the strong explanatory tool for chemical bond. This can be attributed to the the ease with which electron move from one atom to the other.

kenny6666 [7]

The braking force is -400 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the impulse theorem, which states that the impulse applied on the ferry (the product of force and time) is equal to its change in momentum:

$F \Delta t = m(v-u)$

where in this problem, we have:

F is the force applied by the brakes

$\Delta t = 65 s$ is the time interval

m = 13,000 kg is the mass of the ferry

u = 2.0 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity

And solving for F, we find the force applied by the brakes:

$F=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}=\frac{(13000)(0-2.0)}{65}=-400 N$

where the negative sign indicates that the direction is backward.

Two objects are placed in thermal contact and are allowed to come to equilibrium in isolation. the heat capacity of object a is

Harman [31]

Given:
Ca = 3Cb (1)
where
Ca = heat capacity of object A
Cb = heat capacity f object B

Also,
Ta = 2Tb (2)
where
Ta = initial temperature of object A
Tb = initial temperature of object B.

Let
Tf = final equilibrium temperature of both objects,
Ma = mass of object A,
Mb = mass of object B.

Assuming that all heat exchange occurs exclusively between the two objects, then energy balance requires that
Ma*Ca*(Ta - Tf) = Mb*Cb*(Tf - Tb) (3)

Substitute (1) and (2) into (3).
Ma*(3Cb)*(2Tb - Tf) = Mb*Cb*(Tf - Tb)
3(Ma/Mb)*(2Tb - Tf) = Tf - Tb

Define k = Ma/Mb, the ratio f the masses.
Then
3k(2Tb - Tf) = Tf - Tb
Tf(1+3k) = Tb(1+6k)
Tf = [(1+6k)/(1+3k)]*Tb

Answer:
$T_{f} =( \frac{1+6k}{1+3k} )T_{b}= \frac{1}{2}( \frac{1+6k}{1+3k})T_{a}$
where
$k= \frac{M_{a}}{M_{b}}$

If the radius of the sun is 7.001×105 km, what is the average density of the sun in units of grams per cubic centimeter? The vol

xenn [34]

Answer:

Average density of Sun is 1.3927 $\frac{g}{cm}$ .

Given:

Radius of Sun = 7.001 × $10^{5}$ km = 7.001 × $10^{10}$ cm

Mass of Sun = 2 × $10^{30}$ kg = 2 × $10^{33}$ g

To find:

Average density of Sun = ?

Formula used:

Density of Sun = $\frac{Mass of Sun}{Volume of Sun}$

Solution:

Density of Sun is given by,

Density of Sun = $\frac{Mass of Sun}{Volume of Sun}$

Volume of Sun = $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

Volume of Sun = $\frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times [7.001 \times 10^{10}]^{3}$

Volume of Sun = 1.436 × $10^{33}$ $cm^{3}$

Density of Sun = $\frac{ 2\times 10^{33} }{1.436 \times 10^{33} }$

Density of Sun = 1.3927 $\frac{g}{cm}$

Thus, Average density of Sun is 1.3927 $\frac{g}{cm}$ .

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

total weight acting downwards

= 3g + 10g

13 g

volume of lead = 10 / 11.3 = .885 cm³

Let the volume of bobber submerged in water be v in floating position . buoyant force on bobber = v x 1 x g

Buoyant force on lead = .885 x 1 x g

total buoyant force = vg + .885 g

For floating

vg + .885 g = 13 g

v = 12.115 cm³

total volume of bobber

= 4/3 x 3.14 x 2³

= 33.5 cm³

fraction of volume submerged

= 12.115 / 33.5

= .36

= 36 %
