If a beaker of water is placed under a broiler so that the heating coil is above the beaker. It is observed that only the surfac

e layer boils. The water at the bottom of the beaker remains close to the initial temperature of the water. Which of the following statements is the most reasonable conclusion to be drawn from these observations?
a) Water is a poor conductor of heat.
b) The sample must contain impurities.
c) Water is easily heated by radiation.
d) Water exhibits anomalous thermal behavior.
e) The molecular motion in the sample is not random.

Answer:

a

Explanation:

The most reasonable conclusion of the above phenomenon is that water is a poor conductor of heat. Basically water is an insulator. The heat from surface to the bottom of the beaker will take a lot of time. Moreover, no convection current is formed so, heat might not even reach the bottom surface. Hydrogen bonding also play a vital role in determining the thermal properties of water.

hence option A is correct

The Lyman series comprises a set of spectral lines. All of these lines involve a hydrogen atom whose electron undergoes a change
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

a) 1.2*10^-7 m

b) 1.0*10^-7 m

c) 9.7*10^-8 m

d) ultraviolet region

Explanation:

To find the different wavelengths you use the following formula:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H(1-\frac{1}{n^2})

RH: Rydberg constant = 1.097 x 10^7 m^−1.

(a) n=2

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(2)^2})=8227500m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=1.2*10^{-7}m

(b)

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(3)^2})=9751111,1m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=1.0*10^{-7}m

(c)

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(4)^2})=10284375m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=9.7*10^{-8}m

(d) The three lines belong to the ultraviolet region.

oksian1 [2.3K]
Acceleration, in physics, is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time. <span> Anytime an object's velocity is changing, the object is said to be </span><span>accelerating. It can be calculated as follows:

acceleration = 8.2 - 3.5 / 1.5 = 3.1 m/s</span>²

Hope this answers the question.

Which equation is most likely used to determine the acceleration from a velocity vs:time graph?
tresset_1 [31]
Acceleration, a =  (v - u)/t

where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, and t is the time.

This formula on a velocity time graph represents the slope of the graph.
