b) the momentum change is decreased
c) the time of impact is increased
d) the time of impact is decreased
e) none of these

Answer:

b) Momentum decreased

Explanation:

The relative velocity ( with repect to hand) of ball is decreased by moving hand with some velocity in the direction of ball's velocity.

Bezzdna [24]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

$r=0.053 nm=0.053\times 10^{-9} m$

$1 nm=10^{-9} m$

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

a.We have to find the electric potential of the proton at the position of the electron.

We know that the electric potential

$V=\frac{kq}{r}$

Where $k=9\times 10^9$

$V=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.053\times 10^{-9}}$

$V=27.17 V$

B.Potential energy of electron,U= $\frac{kq_e q_p}{r}$

Where

$q_e=-1.6\times 10^{-19} c=$ Charge on electron

$q_p=q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C$ =Charge on proton

Using the formula

$U=\frac{9\times 10^9\times (-1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.053\times 10^{-9}}$

$U=-4.35\times 10^{-18} J$

A container of volume 0.6 m^3 contains 5.3 mol of argon gas at 24°C. Assuming argon behaves as an ideal gas, find the total inte

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

the internal energy of the gas is 433089.52 J

Explanation:

let n be the number of moles, R be the gas constant and T be the temperature in Kelvins.

the internal energy of an ideal gas is given by:

Ein = 3/2×n×R×T

= 3/2×(5.3)×(8.31451)×(24 + 273)

= 433089.52 J

Therefore, the internal energy of this gas is 433089.52 J.

ser-zykov [4K]

Complete Question

Two containers have a substantial amount of the air evacuated out of them so that the pressure inside is half the pressure at sea level. One container is in Denver at an altitude of about 6,000 ft and the other is in New Orleans (at sea level). The surface area of the container lid is A=0.0155 m. The air pressure in Denver is PD = 79000 Pa. and in New Orleans is PNo = 100250 Pa. Assume the lid is weightless.

Part (a) Write an expression for the force FNo required to remove the container lid in New Orleans.

Part (b) Calculate the force FNo required to lift off the container lid in New Orleans, in newtons.

Part (c) Calculate the force Fp required to lift off the container lid in Denver, in newtons.

Part (d) is more force required to lift the lid in Denver (higher altitude, lower pressure) or New Orleans (lower altitude, higher pressure)?

Answer:

a

The expression is $F_{No} = A [P_{No} - \frac{P_{sea}}{2}]$

b

$F_{No}= 7771.125 \ N$

c

$F_p = 2.2*10^{6} N$

d

From the value obtained we can say the that the force required to open the lid is higher at Denver

Explanation:

The altitude of container in Denver is $d_D = 6000 \ ft = 6000 * 0.3048 = 1828.8m$

The surface area of the container lid is $A = 0.0155m^2$

The altitude of container in New Orleans is sea-level

The air pressure in Denver is $P_D = 79000 \ Pa$

The air pressure in new Orleans is $P_{ro} = 100250 \ Pa$

Generally force is mathematically represented as

$F_{No} = \Delta P A$

So we are told the pressure inside is is half the pressure the at sea level so the the pressure acting on the container would

The pressure at sea level is a constant with a value of

$P_{sea} = 101000 Pa$

So the $\Delta P$ which is the difference in pressure within and outside the container is

$\Delta P = P_{No} - \frac{P_{sea}}{2}$

Therefore

$F_{No} = A [P_{No} - \frac{P_{sea}}{2}]$

Now substituting values

$F_{No} = 0.0155 [100250 - \frac{101000}{2}]$

$F_{No}= 7771.125 \ N$

The force to remove the lid in Denver is

$F_p = \Delta P_d A$

So we are told the pressure inside is is half the pressure the at sea level so the the pressure acting on the container would

The pressure at sea level is a constant with a value of

$P_{sea} = 101000 Pa$

At sea level the air pressure in Denver is mathematically represented as

$P_D = \rho g h$

=> $g = \frac{P_D}{\rho h}$

Let height at sea level is h = 1

The air pressure at height $d_D$

$P_d__{D}} = \rho gd_D$

=> $g = \frac{P_d_D}{\rho d_D}$

Equating the both

$\frac{P_D}{\rho h} = \frac{P_d_D}{\rho d_D}$

$P_d_D = P_D * d_D$

Substituting value

$P_d__{D}} = 1828.2 * 79000$

$P_d__{D}} = 1.445*10^{8} Pa$

So

$\Delta P_d = P_{d} _D - \frac{P_{sea}}{2}$

=> $\Delta P_d = 1.445 *10^{8} - \frac{101000}{2}$

$\Delta P_d = 1.44*10^{8}Pa$

So

$F_p = \Delta P_d A$

$= 1.44*10^8 * 0.0155$

$F_p = 2.2*10^{6} N$

Investigators are exploring ways to treat milk for longer shelf life by using pulsed electric fields to destroy bacterial contam

Georgia [21]

Answer:

C = 3.77*10⁻¹⁰ F = 377 pF

Q = 1.13*10⁻⁵ C

Explanation:

Given

D = 8.0 cm = 0.08 m

d = 0.95 cm = 0.95*10⁻² m

k = 80.4 (dielectric constant of the milk)

V = 30000 V

C = ?

Q = ?

We can get the capacitance of the system applying the formula

C = k*ε₀*A / d

where

ε₀ = 8.854*10⁻¹² F/m

and A = π*D²/4 = π*(0.08 m)²/4

⇒ A = 0.00502655 m²

then

C = (80.4)*(8.854*10⁻¹² F/m)*(0.00502655 m²) / (0.95*10⁻² m)

⇒ C = 3.77*10⁻¹⁰ F = 377 pF

Now, we use the following equation in order to obtain the charge on each plate when they are fully charged

Q = C*V

⇒ Q = (3.77*10⁻¹⁰ F)*(30000 V)

⇒ Q = 1.13*10⁻⁵ C
