A satellite completes one revolution of a planet in almost exactly one hour. At the end of one hour, the satellite has traveled

2.0 × 107 meters and is only 10 meters away from its starting point. What is the numerical value of the satellite's average velocity after that one hour? 3.77 × 10–2 meters/second

Velocity =

(distance between start point and end point, regardless of the route traveled) / (time spent traveling).

That distance (called the "displacement"), is 10 meters, and almost exactly 1 hour is almost exactly 3,600 seconds. So the numerical value of the velocity during that time is

(10) / (3,600) = almost exactly 0.00278 m/s

= 2.78 x 10^-3 m/s.

How much heat is released when 432 g of water cools down from 71'c to 18'c?

maria [59]

The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference $\Delta T$ is
$Q=mC_s \Delta T$
where
m=432 g is the mass of the water
$C_s = 4.18 J/g^{\circ}C$ is the specific heat capacity of water
$\Delta T =71^{\circ}C-18^{\circ}C=53^{\circ}$ is the decrease of temperature of the water

Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find
$Q=(432 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(53^{\circ}C)=9.57 \cdot 10^4 J$
and this is the amount of heat released by the water.

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 $\frac{g}{cm}$ .

Light with a wavelength of 495 nm is falling on a surface and electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.5 eV are ejected. Wha

devlian [24]

Answer:

To increase the maximum kinetic energy of electrons to 1.5 eV, it is necessary that ultraviolet radiation of 354 nm falls on the surface.

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the work function of the element. The maximum kinetic energy as a function of the wavelength is given by:

$K_{max}=\frac{hc}{\lambda}-W$

Here h is the Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light and W the work function of the element:

$W=\frac{hc}{\lambda}-K_{max}\\W=\frac{(4.14*10^{-15}eV\cdot s)(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{495*10^{-9}m}-0.5eV\\W=2.01eV$

Now, we calculate the wavelength for the new maximum kinetic energy:

$W+K_{max}=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\lambda=\frac{hc}{W+K_{max}}\\\lambda=\frac{(4.14*10^{-15}eV\cdot s)(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{2.01eV+1.5eV}\\\lambda=3.54*10^{-7}m=354*10^{-9}m=354nm$

This wavelength corresponds to ultraviolet radiation. So, to increase the maximum kinetic energy of electrons to 1.5 eV, it is necessary that ultraviolet radiation of 354 nm falls on the surface.

By constructing basic electric circuits, you will be able to measure current flow. With Ohm’s law in mind, what broad question a

andrezito [222]

Broad questions that we can answer by doing this experiment are <em><u>the effects of electric current</u></em>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Electric current is the amount of electric charge that flows each unit of time

Electric current occurs due to the movement of electrons due to the difference in potential or voltage (from high potential to low potential) between two points

Electrons will flow through the conducting wire that functions as a conductor

Ohm's Law states that

<em>The potential difference is proportional to the electric current as long as the resistance is constant</em>

$\displaystyle I=\frac{V}{R}\\\\V=I\times R$

A simple electrical circuit consists of a voltage source (battery) and a lamp

Ampermeters to measure the strength of the current, must be installed in series with the load to be measured

By changing the voltage source, with constant resistance from a conductor, different current measurements will be obtained. The greater the voltage, the greater the resulting current.
