[B] Piece of paper and still water in lake
[C] Plane mirror and leather bag
[D] Piece of paper and leather bag​

Answers

Answer:

A. Plane mirror and piece of paper

Explanation:

Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light or other waves or particles from a surface such that a ray incident on the surface is scattered at many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection. An ideal diffuse reflecting surface is said to exhibit Lambertian reflection, meaning that there is equal luminance when viewed from all directions lying in the half-space adjacent to the surface.

Hydrogen sulfide, H2S, and hydrogen chloride, HCl, are both gases at temperatures above –50 °C.
Which gas will diffuse most rapidly at the temperature given?
A hydrogen chloride at –40°C
B hydrogen chloride at –20°C
C hydrogen sulfide at –40°C
D hydrogen sulfide at –20°C

could someone please explain this

Answers

Explanation:

A gas at higher temperature is able to gain more heat from the environment/surroundings and has more kinetic energy to diffuse at a faster rate.

Hence a temperature at -20°C is more ideal.

Molar mass of H2S = 34.07g/mol

Molar mass of HCl = 36.45g/mol

Since H2S has a smaller molar mass, the same number of moles of H2S gas will diffuse faster as compared to the same number of moles of HCl gas.

Hence the answer is Hydrogen sulfide at -20°C. (D)

According to Einstein's famous formula, the relationship between mass and energy can be written E = M ∙ c2, where E = energy in joules, m = mass in kilograms and c = speed of light in meters per second. Sweden's annual energy use amounts to approximately 1.35 ∙ 10 up tp 18J. Suppose that all this energy could be created by converting matter into energy. If so, how much mass would be needed to cover the country's annual energy use?
The speed of light is 3 ∙ 10 up to 8 m / s

Answers

Answer:

the amount of mass needed is:  4.5 10^9 kg

Explanation:

Use the given equation:

E = m * c^2

with E = 1.35 * 10^(18)  J

and c = 3 * 10^8 m/s

and solve for the mass as shown below:

m = 1.35 * 10^(18) / 3 * 10^8 ≈ 4.5 10^9 kg

On Earth, a spring stretches by 5.0 cm when a mass of 3.0 kg is suspended from one end.

Which mass, on the Moon, would stretch the spring by the same extension?

Reasons too :(
igcse physics

Answers

Answer:

Mass = 18.0 kg

Explanation:

From Hooke's law,

F = ke

where: F is the force, k is the spring constant and e is the extension.

But, F = mg

So that,

mg = ke

On the Earth, let the gravitational force be 10 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex].

3.0 x 10 = k x 5.0

30 = 5k

⇒ k = [tex]\frac{30}{5}[/tex] ................ 1

On the Moon, the gravitational force is [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] of that on the Earth.

m x [tex]\frac{10}{6}[/tex] = k x 5.0

[tex]\frac{10m}{6}[/tex] = 5k

⇒ k = [tex]\frac{10m}{30}[/tex] ............. 2

Equating 1 and 2, we have;

[tex]\frac{30}{5}[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{10m}{30}[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{900}{50}[/tex]

    = 18.0

m = 18.0 kg

The mass required to produce the same extension on the Moon is 18 kg.

Answer:

18 kg

Explanation:

weight (N) = mass (kg) × gravitational acceleration (m/s²)force (N) = k (spring constant) × extension (m)

On Earth, acceleration of gravity is 10 m/s²

weight = 3.0 (kg) × 10 (m/s²)weight = 30 (N)

Since weight is a force, the force is 30 N. The value of spring constant is unknown

30 (N) = k × 5 (m)k = 6 (m/N)

Spring constant is 6. Now let's find the mass on the Moon

mass (kg) × gravitational acceleration (m/s²) = k (spring constant) × extension (m)

Gravitational acceleration of the moon is 1/6 of that on Earth. Earth's g = 10, so Moon's g = 10/6

m × 10/6 = 6 × 5m = 30/(10/6)m = 18

The mass is 18 kg

A. White light is the absence of all color.
B. Higher-frequency electromagnetic waves have more energy.
C. The sun radiates several different types of electromagnetic energy.
D. The frequency of an electromagnetic wave is related to its wavelength.

Answers

Answer:

A. White light is the absence of all color.

Explanation:

It is false that white light is the absence of all color. In fact, white light is the presence of all colors in the spectrum.

Electromagnetic waves are waves that do not require any material medium for propagation. It is the interaction of electric and magnetic fields.

The higher frequency electromagnetic waves like the gamma-rays and x-rays have more energy. The sun furnishes the universe with electromagnetic energy. The higher the wavelength, the lesser the energy of the electromagnetic radiation.

Answer:

The new force is 2/3 of the original force

Explanation:

Coulomb's Law

The electrical force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

Written as a formula:

[tex]\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]k=9\cdot 10^9\ N.m^2/c^2[/tex]

q1, q2 = the objects' charge

d= The distance between the objects

Suppose the first charge is doubled (2q1) and the second charge is one-third of the original charge (q2/3). Now the force is:

[tex]\displaystyle F'=k\frac{2q_1*q_2/3}{d^2}[/tex]

Factoring out 2/3:

[tex]\displaystyle F'=\frac{2}{3}k\frac{q_1*q_2}{d^2}[/tex]

Substituting the original force:

[tex]F'=\frac{2}{3}F[/tex]

The new force is 2/3 of the original force

An 8 Newton wooden block slides across a horizontal wooden floor at constant velocity. What is the magi notice of the force of kinetic friction between the block and the floor

Answers

What is the magnitude of the electrical force between the two charges:
answer to the closest 0.1 N

Answers

Answer:

Approximately [tex]5.5\; \rm N[/tex], assuming that the volume of these two charged objects is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume that the dimensions of these two charged objects is much smaller than the distance between them. Hence, Coulomb's Law would give a good estimate of the electrostatic force between these two objects regardless of their exact shapes.

Let [tex]q_1[/tex] and [tex]q_2[/tex] denote the magnitude of two point charges (where the volume of both charged object is negligible.) In this question, [tex]q_1 = 20 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C[/tex]  and [tex]q_2 = 15 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C[/tex].

Let [tex]r[/tex] denote the distance between these two point charges. In this question, [tex]r = 0.7\; \rm m[/tex].

Let [tex]k[/tex] denote the Coulomb constant. In standard units, [tex]k \approx 8.98755\times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2}[/tex].

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force (electric force) between these two point charges would be:

[tex]\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Substitute in the values and evaluate:

[tex]\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\\ &\approx 8.98755 \times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2} \\ &\quad \times 20\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C\\ &\quad \times 15\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C \\ &\quad \times \frac{1}{{(0.7\; \rm m)}^{2}}\\ &\approx 5.5\; \rm N \end{aligned}[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) of box = 100 Kg

Length (L) of ramp = 4 m

Height (H) of ramp = 1.5 m

Mechanical advantage (MA) of ramp =?

Mechanical advantage of a ramp is simply defined as the ratio of the length of the ramp to the height of the ramp. Mathematically, it is given by:

Mechanical Advantage = Lenght / height

MA= L/H

With the above formula, we can obtain the mechanical advantage of the ramp as follow:

Length (L) of ramp = 4 m

Height (H) of ramp = 1.5 m

Mechanical advantage (MA) of ramp =?

MA = 4/1.5

MA = 2.7

Therefore, the mechanical advantage of the ramp is 2.7

A lift travelling up to the top floor of the Empire State building with a mass of 4200kg and a kinetic energy of 4116J. Find the velocity

Answers

Answer:

1.4 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity can be found by using the formula

[tex]v = \sqrt{ \frac{2k}{m} } \\ [/tex]

k is the kinetic energy

m is the mass

From the question we have

[tex]v = \sqrt{ \frac{2 \times 4116}{4200} } \\ = 1.4[/tex]

We have the final answer as

1.4 m/s

Hope this helps you

Answer:

The speed of the lift is 1.4 m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy

Is the type of energy of an object due to its motion. It's proportional to the square of the speed and the mass.

The equation for the kinetic energy is:

[tex]\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

Where:

m = mass of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)

It's given the mass of the lift as m=4,200 kg and its kinetic energy K=4,116 J. To calculate the speed (magnitude of velocity), we solve the formula for v as follows:

[tex]\displaystyle v=\sqrt{\frac{2k}{m}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle v=\sqrt{\frac{2*4,116}{4,200}}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle v=\sqrt{1.96}[/tex]

v = 1.4 m/s

The speed of the lift is 1.4 m/s

This is very hard, I don't understand.
