Answer:

the magnitude of the work done by the two blocks is the same.

Explanation:

The work done by block a on block b is given by:

W_a = F_a d

where Fa is the force exerted by block a on block b, and d is the distance they cover.

The work done by block b on block a is given by:

W_b = F_b d

where Fb is the force exerted by block b on block a, and d is still the distance they cover.

For Newton's third law, the force exerted by block a on block b is equal to the force exerted by block b on block a, therefore

F_a = F_b

and so

W_a=W_b

The average kinetic energy of the molecules of an ideal gas at 10∘C has the value K10. At what temperature T1 (in degrees Celsiu
Westkost [7]

Answer:

A) T1 = 566 k = 293°C

B) T2 = 1132 k = 859°C

Explanation:

A)

The average kinetic energy of the molecules of an ideal gas is givwn by the formula:

K.E = (3/2)KT

where,

K.E = Average Kinetic Energy

K = Boltzman Constant

T = Absolute Temperature

At 10°C:

K.E = K10

T = 10°C + 273 = 283 K

Therefore,

K10 = (3/2)(K)(283)

FOR TWICE VALUE OF K10:

T = T1

Therefore,

2 K10 = (3/2)(K)(T1)

using the value of K10:

2(3/2)(K)(283) = (3/2)(K)(T1)

<u>T1 = 566 k = 293°C</u>

<u></u>

B)

The average kinetic energy of the molecules of an ideal gas is given by the formula:

K.E = (3/2)KT

but K.E is also given by:

K.E = (1/2)(m)(vrms)²

Therefore,

(3/2)KT = (1/2)(m)(vrms)²

vrms = √(3KT/m)

where,

vrms = Root Mean Square Velocity of Molecule

K = Boltzman Constant

T = Absolute Temperature

m = mass

At

T = 10°C + 273 = 283 K

vrms = √[3K(283)/m]

FOR TWICE VALUE OF vrms:

T = T2

Therefore,

2 vrms = √(3KT2/m)

using the value of vrms:

2√[3K(283)/m] = √(3KT2/m)

2√283 = √T2

Squaring on both sides:

(4)(283) = T2

<u>T2 = 1132 k = 859°C</u>

Use the momentum equation for photons found in this week's notes, the wavelength you found in #3, and Plank’s constant (6.63E-34
Nostrana [21]
To help you I need to assume a wavelength and then calculate the momentum.

The momentum equation for photons is:

p = h / λ , this is the division of Plank's constant by the wavelength.

Assuming λ = 656 nm = 656 * 10 ^ - 9 m, which is the wavelength calcuated in a previous problem, you get:

p = (6.63 * 10 ^-34 ) / (656 * 10 ^ -9) kg * m/s

p = 1.01067 * 10^ - 27 kg*m/s which  must be rounded to three significant figures.

With that, p = 1.01 * 10 ^ -27 kg*m/s

The answers are rounded to only 2 significan figures, so our number rounded to 2 significan figures is 1.0 * 10 ^ - 27 kg*m/s

So, assuming the wavelength λ = 656 nm, the answer is the first option: 1.0*10^-27 kg*m/s.

A strip 1.2 mm wide is moving at a speed of 25 cm/s through a uniform magnetic field of 5.6 t. what is the maximum hall voltage
Alex787 [66]
The equation for Hall voltage Vh is:

Vh=v*B*w, where v is the velocity of the strip, B is the magnitude of the magnetic field, and w is the width of the strip. 

v=25 cm/s = 0.25 m/s
B=5.6 T
w= 1.2 mm = 0.0012 m

We input the numbers into the equation and get:

Vh= 0.25*5.6*0.0012 = 0.00168 V

The maximum Hall voltage is Vh= 0.00168 V.

A visitor to the observation deck of a skyscraper manages to drop a penny over the edge. As the penny falls faster, the force du
pentagon [3]
If a coin is dropped at a relatively low altitude, it's acceleration remains constant. However, if the coin is dropped at a very high altitude, air resistance will have a significant effect. The initial acceleration of the coin will be the greatest. As it falls down, air resistance will counteract the weight of the coin. So, the acceleration will decrease. Although the acceleration decreases, the coin still accelerates, that is why it falls faster. When the air resistance fully counters the weight of the coin, the acceleration will become zero and the coin will fall at a constant speed (terminal velocity). So, the answer should be, The acceleration decreases until it reaches 0. The closest answer is.
a. The acceleration decreases.

A 3kW oven supplied with 9mJ of energy.How many minutes can it run for?
andreev551 [17]

<span>Hello!
 
We have the following data:
</span>
Time (T) = ? (in minutes)
Power (P) = 3 kW → 3000 W
Energy (E) = 9 MJ → 9000000 J or (W/s)

Formula of the consumption of electric energy:

P =  \frac{E}{T}

Solving:

P = \frac{E}{T}

P = \frac{E}{T} \to T =  \frac{E}{P}

T =  \frac{9000\diagup\!\!\!\!0\diagup\!\!\!\!0\diagup\!\!\!\!0\:\diagup\!\!\!\!W/s}{3\diagup\!\!\!\!0\diagup\!\!\!\!0\diagup\!\!\!\!0\:\diagup\!\!\!\!W}

\boxed{T = 3000\:seconds}

How many minutes can it run for? (<span>Let's convert in minutes)
</span>
1 minute --------- 60 seconds
y minute --------- 3000 seconds

\frac{1}{y} = \frac{60}{3000}

<span>Product of extremes equals product of means
</span>
60*y = 1*3000

60y = 3000

y =  \frac{3000}{60}

\boxed{\boxed{y = 50\:minutes}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark


I hope this helps! =)
