Imagine an alternate universe where all of the quantum number rules were identical to ours except m_{s} had three allowed values (rather than two as it does in our universe). If this were the case, and the Pauli Exclusion Principle still applies, how many electrons would be allowed in each orbital

Answers

Answer:

so in a given orbital there can be 3 electrons.

Explanation:

The Pauli exclusion principle states that all the quantum numbers of an electron cannot be equal, if the spatial part of the wave function is the same, the spin part of the wave function determines how many electrons fit in each orbital.

In the case of having two values, two electrons change. In the case of three allowed values, one electron fits for each value, so in a given orbital there can be 3 electrons.

An astronaut weighing 248 lbs on Earth is on a mission to the Moon and Mars. (a) What would he weigh in newtons when he is on the Moon

Answers

Answer:

[tex]W_m=183.495N[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Weight [tex]W=248Ibs[/tex]

Mass of Weight  [tex]m= 248*0.453[/tex]

                          [tex]m=112.344kg[/tex]

Generally the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon is one-sixth that on Earth.

Therefore

The equation for Weight on Moon is given as

 [tex]W_m=m*g/6[/tex]

 [tex]W_m=122.344*\frac{9.8}{6}[/tex]

 [tex]W_m=183.495N[/tex]

Answer:

F ’= 40.9 lb

Explanation:

The weight of a body is the attraction of the Earth on the body

          F = [tex]G \frac{m M_e}{R_e^2}[/tex]

          F = mg

          m = F / g

          m = 248/32

         m = 7.75 slug

           

The weight of the body on the moon is the attraction of the body for the satellite

         F ’= [tex]G \frac{mM}{R^2}[/tex]

from the tables the mass and radius of the moon are M = 7.34 10²² kg and R = 1.74 10⁶ m

let's reduce the mass to the SI system

         m = 7.75 slug (14.59 kg / 1 slug) = 113 kg

         F ’= 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 113 7.34 10²² / (1.74 10⁶) ²

         F ’= 1.82 10² N

         F ’= 1.82 10² N (0.2248 lb / 1 N)

         F ’= 40.9 lb

Of the sled has a mass of 20 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the sled and the ground is 0.1, what is the minimum force Allison must apply to the sled to keep it moving forward at a constant speed

Answers

Answer:

[tex]F=48.62N[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Angle [tex]\theta= 20[/tex]

Mass [tex]m= 20kg[/tex]

Coefficient of kinetic friction [tex]\mu=0.1[/tex]

Generally the equation for Force Required to jeep sled moving is mathematically given by

 [tex]F= mg sin \theta - \mu N[/tex]

Where N is normal force

 [tex]F_N=Wcos\theta[/tex]

 [tex]F_N=20*9.8*cos 20[/tex]

 [tex]F_N=184.18N[/tex]

Therefore

 [tex]F= (20*9.8) sin 20 - (0.1) (184.18)[/tex]

 [tex]F=48.62N[/tex]

A solid piece of clear transparent materialhas an index of refraction of 1.61. If you place itinto a clear transparentsolution and it seems to disappear, approximately what is the index of refraction of the solution

Answers

Answer: The index of refraction of a solution is 1.61

Explanation:

Refractive index or index of refraction is defined as the measure of bending of light when passed through a medium. It is simply the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in the phase.

We are given:

Index of refraction of a material = 1.61

When the material is put in a solution, it disappears. This means that there is no bending of light to distinguish between the two phases (material and solution). Thus, the refractive index of the solution is equal to the refractive index of the material.

Index of refraction of a solution = Index of refraction of a material = 1.61

Hence, the index of refraction of a solution is 1.61

An object travels down a ramp at a constant acceleration. The object experiences a force of friction and a gravitational force. Which of the following could be true about the motion of the object?

a. The force of friction acts in the same direction as the object travels.
b. The force of friction between the surface and the object is less than the component of the gravitational force that is parallel to the ramp.
c. If the object increased in mass, the object's acceleration would change.
d. If the object increased in mass, the normal force exerted on the object would remain the same.

Answers

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

An object travels down a ramp at a constant acceleration.

Friction force and the gravitational force is there.

(a). It is false. As the friction acts in the opposite direction of motion of the object.

(b). It is true. As the object moves down the ramp so the force of friction is less the component of gravitational force along the ramp.

(c). It is false. the acceleration does not depends on the mass.

a = g sin A - u g cos A

where, A is the angle of inclination and u is the coefficient of friction.

(d). It is false. The normal force is given by

N = m g cos A

so it depends on the mass.

If the amplitude is increased the wavelength:___________.
a. decreases
b. stays the same
c. increases

Answers

Answer:

correct answer is b

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave depends on the properties of medium density and the elasticity properties change the amplitude depends on the energy carried by the wave, that is, the amplitude is proportional to the height of the wave (oscillation).

Consequently the amplitude of independent of the frequency because it depends on different factors.

Therefore when changing the amplitude the wavelength remains constant

in a Mercury thermometer the level of Mercury Rises when its bulb comes in contact with a hot object what is the reason for this rise in the level of Mercury​

Answers

Answer:

because thermometric liquid readily expands on heating or contracts on cooling even for a small difference in the temperature of the body.

An ideal spring is used to stop blocks as they slide along a table without friction. A 0.80 kg block traveling at a speed of 2.2 m/s can be stopped over a distance of 0.11 m once it makes contact with the spring.

A rectangular block on a level surface moves at velocity v to the right towards a spring that rests on the surface and is attached to a fixed mount on the right.

What distance would a 1.40 kg block travel after making contact with the spring if the block is traveling at a speed of 3.0 m/s before it makes contact with the spring?

Answers

Use the work-energy theorem: the total work done on the 0.80 kg block by the spring to make it come to a stop is equal to the change in the block's kinetic energy.

If we take the block's initial direction of motion to be positive, then the spring does negative work on the block, and

-1/2 k (0.11 m)² = 0 - 1/2 (0.80 kg) (2.2 m/s)²

Solve for the spring constant k :

k = (1/2 (0.80 kg) (2.2 m/s)²) / (1/2 (0.11 m)²) = 320 N/m

We can use the same equation as above to find the distance the 1.40 kg block would travel as it is slowed down by the same spring:

-1/2 (320 N/m) x ² = 0 - 1/2 (1.40 kg) (3.0 m/s)²

Solve for the displacement x :

x = √((1/2 (1.40 kg) (3.0 m/s)²) / (1/2 (320 N/m))) ≈ 0.20 m

A concert loudspeaker suspended high off the ground emits 26.0 W of sound power. A small microphone with a 1.00 cm2 area is 53.0 m from the speaker. Part A What is the sound intensity at the position of the microphone

Answers

Answer:

the sound intensity at the position of the microphone is 7.4 × 10⁻⁴ W/m²

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Sound power P = 26.0 W

Area of microphone A = 1.00 cm²

Radius r = 53.0 m

sound intensity at the position of the microphone = ?

Now, intensity at the position of the microphone can be determined using the following expression;

[tex]I[/tex] = P / 4πr²

We substitute

[tex]I[/tex] = 26.0 / ( 4 × π × (53.0 )² )

[tex]I[/tex] = 26.0 / ( 4 × π × 2809 )

[tex]I[/tex] = 26.0 / 35298.935

[tex]I[/tex] = 26.0 / ( 4 × π × (53.0 )² )

[tex]I[/tex] = 0.000736566

[tex]I[/tex] = 7.4 × 10⁻⁴ W/m²

Therefore, the sound intensity at the position of the microphone is 7.4 × 10⁻⁴ W/m²

A 45.00 kg person in a 43.00 kg cart is coasting with a speed of 19 m/s before it goes up a hill.Assuming there is no friction, what is the maximum vertical height the person in the cart can reach?

Answers

Answer:

the maximum vertical height the person in the cart can reach is 18.42 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the person, m₁ = 45 kg

mass of the cart, m₂ = 43 kg

( Density of mercury p= 13 600 kg/m^3, gravitational acceleration, g = 9.81m/s²)​

Answers

Answer:

    p = 1.0076 10⁵ Pa

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure is given by the relation

         P = rho g h

In this case they indicate that the height of the column of mercury is h = 756 mm Hg

let's reduce the height to the SI system

          h = 756 mm (1m / 1000 mm)

          h = 0.756 m

~Pinky~

Balanced forces never cause a change in the motion of an object. Hence, option C is correct, rest are not correct.

What is a Balanced Force?

Unless another force is added, forces will always be in balance. The forces are equal, for instance, when the paper, pencil, and pen are set. Selfishly, they push and pull. However, when gravity is added, it pulls the object down, causing it to fall.

When two forces are equal in size and have the same direction, they are said to be balanced. They are thought of as being in an equilibrium state. The motion or direction of an object cannot be changed by balanced forces; instead, they maintain the object's motion at a constant speed.

A force that is exerted in one direction more than it is in the other is said to have imbalanced forces. An object's speed and/or direction change when unbalanced forces are exerting pressure on it.
