A rock is placed in a graduated cylinder containing water, and the cylinder is covered to avoid evaporation. The next morning th

e water level has dropped by 5.65 ml. No one has to the cylinder, and the cylinder has no leaks. What is the most likely explanation for what happened?

Explanation:

The setup contains rock, cylinder, covering lid and atmosphere. One or a few may contribute to the loss of water.

They may be dry, so it might have absorbed water. The rock may be porous and absorb water due to gaps between its molecules.

The material used as lid to cover the cylinder may be not good enogh to stop water from evaporation. The cylinder you might have kept near a hot source and water may have converted water vapor.

An electron moving at right angles to a 0.1 T magnetic field experiences an acceleration of 6 × 1015 m.s-2. What is the speed of
GaryK [48]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.1 T

Acceleration, a=6\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2

Charge on electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C    

Mass of electron, m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg    

(a) The force acting on the electron when it is accelerated is, F = ma

The force acting on the electron when it is in magnetic field, F=qvB\ sin\theta

Here, \theta=90

So, ma=qvB

Where

v is the velocity of the electron

B is the magnetic field

v=\dfrac{ma}{qB}

v=\dfrac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg\times 6\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 0.1\ T}

v = 341250  m/s

or

v=3.41\times 10^5\ m/s

So, the speed of the electron is 3.41\times 10^5\ m/s

(b) In 1 ns, the speed of the electron remains the same as the force is perpendicular to the cross product of velocity and the magnetic field.

A horizontal uniform meter stick supported at the 50-cm mark has a mass of 0.50 kg hanging from it at the 20-cm mark and a 0.30
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

70 cm

Explanation:

0.5 kg at 20 cm

0.3 kg at 60 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

0.5(50-20)=0.3(60-50)+0.6x\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{0.5(50-20)-0.3(60-50)}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow x=20\ cm

The position of the third mass of 0.6 kg is at 20+50 = 70 cm

Recall that weight is a force and is equal to m*g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity exerted by the Earth near the Eart
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

145.43 N

Explanation:

Weight is given by (mg)

where m = mass of the body

g = acceleration due to gravity

mass is constant everywhere and is equal to 77.1 kg, both on the earth and on the moon.

But the acceleration due to gravity exerted by the moon near the moon's surface is 16.6% that of Earth,

g(moon) = 0.166 g(earth) = 0.166 × 9.8 = 1.6268 m/s²

Weight on the moon = mg(moon) = (77.1×1.6268) = 125.43 N

A man takes 20 seconds to climb 5m up a ladder. He weighs 720N. Calculate the power he must deliver to do this.
muminat

Answer:

Power = 180 Watt.

Explanation:

W = Work done = m x g x H.

m = mass of the body.

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2.

W = weight of the body = m x g = 720 N.

H = height of the body = 5 m.

t = Time = 20 s.

Plugging the above values in the formula we get:

W = 720 x 5 = 3600 J.

Power = \frac{W}{t}

           = \frac{3600}{20} = 180 Watt.

Therefore the required value of power = 180 Watt.

A 4.15-volt battery is connected across a parallel-plate capacitor. Illuminating the plates with ultraviolet light causes electr
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

a ) 2.13 X 10⁶ m/s .

b ) 1.28 X 10⁶ m/s

Explanation:

When electrons are repelled by negative plates and attracted by positive plates , it will increase their kinetic energy.

Increase in their energy = 4.15 eV

= 4.5 X 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ J

= 6.64 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Initial kinetic energy

= 1/2 mv²

= 1/2 x 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ x ( 1.76 x 10⁶)²

= 14.09 X 10⁻¹⁹ J

Total energy

= 6.64 x 10⁻¹⁹+14.09 X 10⁻¹⁹

= 20.73 x 10⁻¹⁹

If V be the increased velocity

1/2 m V² = 20.73 X 10⁻¹⁹

.5 X 9.1 X 10⁻³¹ V² = 20.73 X 10⁻¹⁹

V = 2.13 X 10⁶ m/s .

b ) When electrons are released from positive plate , their speed are reduced because of attraction between electrons and positively charge plates.

Initial kinetic energy

= 14.09 x 10⁻¹⁹ J (see above )

reduction in kinetic energy  

= 6.64 x 10⁻¹⁹ J ( See above )

Total energy with electron -

= 14.09 x 10⁻¹⁹  - 6.64 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 7. 45 x 10⁻¹⁹ J .

If V be the energy of electrons reaching the negative plate,

1/2 m V² =7. 45 x 10⁻¹⁹

V = 1.28 X 10⁶ ms⁻¹
