A uniform cube with mass 0.700 kg and volume 0.0270 m3 is sitting on the floor. A uniform sphere with radius 0.400 m and mass 0.

800 kg sits on top of the cube.

Answer:

44 1/3 cm

Explanation:

The cube has an edge length of ∛0.027 m = 0.3 m, so a center of mass (CoM) 15 cm above the floor.

The sphere's center of mass is 40 cm above the top of the cube, so is 70 cm above the floor. The weighted average of the CoM locations is ...

((15 cm)(0.700 kg) +(70 cm)(0.800 kg))/(0.700 kg +0.800 kg)

= (10.5 kg·cm +56 kg·cm)/(1.500 kg) = 44.333... cm

The center of mass of the two-object system is 44 1/3 cm above the floor.

When light energy hits the retina, the retinal changes from a _____ to a _____ configuration.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Cis, Trans.

Explanation:

Rhodopsin also known as visual purple, pigment which contains sensory protein that helps to convert light into an electrical signal. Rhodopsin present in wide range of organisms from bacteria to vertebrates.

Rhodopsin is composed of opsin, and 11-cis-retinaldehyde which is derived from vitamin A. When the eye contact with light the 11-cis component converted to all trans-retinal, which results in the changes in configuration fundamental in the rhodopsin molecule.

A hot (70°C) lump of metal has a mass of 250 g and a specific heat of 0.25 cal/g⋅°C. John drops the metal into a 500-g calorimet

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

d. 37 °C

Explanation:

$m_{m}$ = mass of lump of metal = 250 g

$c_{m}$ = specific heat of lump of metal = 0.25 cal/g°C

$T_{mi}$ = Initial temperature of lump of metal = 70 °C

$m_{w}$ = mass of water = 75 g

$c_{w}$ = specific heat of water = 1 cal/g°C

$T_{wi}$ = Initial temperature of water = 20 °C

$m_{c}$ = mass of calorimeter = 500 g

$c_{c}$ = specific heat of calorimeter = 0.10 cal/g°C

$T_{ci}$ = Initial temperature of calorimeter = 20 °C

$T_{f}$ = Final equilibrium temperature

Using conservation of heat

Heat lost by lump of metal = heat gained by water + heat gained by calorimeter

$m_{m} c_{m} (T_{mi} - T_{f}) = m_{w} c_{w} (T_{f} - T_{wi}) + m_{c} c_{c} (T_{f} - T_{ci}) \\(250) (0.25) (70 - T_{f} ) = (75) (1) (T_{f} - 20) + (500) (0.10) (T_{f} - 20)\\T_{f} = 37 C$

The concrete slab of a basement is 11 m long, 8 m wide, and 0.20 m thick. During the winter, temperatures are nominally 17°C and

mina [271]

Answer:

$\frac{dQ}{dt}= 4312 W$

Explanation:

As we know that base of the slab is given as

$A = 11 \times 8$

$A = 88 m^2$

now we know that rate of heat transfer is given as

$\frac{dQ}{dt} = \frac{kA}{x} (T_2 - T_1)$

here we know that

$k = 1.4 W/m k$

Also we have

$x =0.20$

$\frac{dQ}{dt} = \frac{1.4(88)}{0.20}(17 - 10)$

$\frac{dQ}{dt}= 4312 W$

The battery capacity of a lithium ion battery in a digital music player is 750 mA-h. The manufacturer claims that the player can

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The number of electrons is $6.3\times10^{21}\ electrons$

(D) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Battery capacity = 750 mA-h

Time t= 8 hours

Time t'=3 hours

We need to calculate the battery capacity

$Battery\ capacity=750\times10^{-3}\times3600$

$Battery\ capacity=2700\ A-s$

We need to calculate the number of electrons in 1 C Li

Using formula for number of electron

$n=\dfrac{1}{e}$

$n=\dfrac{1}{1.6\times10^{-19}}$

$n=6.25\times10^{18}\ electrons$

We need to calculate the number of electron in 2700 C

$2700\ C=2700\times6.25\times10^{18}=1.68\times10^{22}\ electrons$

The total number of electrons battery can deliver in 8 hours

$n=1.68\times10^{22}\ electrons$

We need to calculate the number of electron in 3 hours

Using formula of number of electrons

$n=\dfrac{n\times t'}{t}$

Put the value into the formula

$n=\dfrac{1.68\times10^{22}\times3}{8}$

$n=6.3\times10^{21}\ electrons$

Hence, The number of electrons is $6.3\times10^{21}\ electrons$

An experiment is designed to test what color of light will activate a photoelectric cell the best. The photocell is set in a cir

Natalija [7]

A photoelectric cell is an electronic device which is used to convert light energy into electric energy.The operation of this device is based on photoelectric effect.

Light of suitable frequency i.e greater or equal to threshold frequency will fall on the cathode maintained at negative potential.The electron emission will take place and these electrons are drifted towards the anode which is at positive potential.

Here,only those radiations will be capable of emitting electrons irrespective of surface barrier of metals whose energy is greater than the work function.

We know that the radiation having long wavelength has least energy as energy and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.

$Mathematically\ energy\ E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

Here h is the Planck's constant,c is the velocity of light.

Here we have been given red light and blue light.

In the visible spectrum of radiation, the red light has longer wavelength than all other colors of light.Hence blue light has more energy as it's wavelength is less as compared to red light.

Hence, the blue light will activate the most and red the least.
