The unit of length convenient on the atomic scale is known as an angstrom and is denoted by m. The size of a hydrogen atom is about . What is the total atomic volume in of a mole of hydrogen atoms ?
Radius of hydrogen atom, r = 0.5 Å = 0.5 × 10-10 m
Volume of hydrogen atom = (4/3) π r3
= (4/3) × (22/7) × (0.5 × 10-10)3
= 0.524 × 10-30 m3
1 mole of hydrogen contains 6.023 × 1023 hydrogen atoms.
∴ Volume of 1 mole of hydrogen atoms = 6.023 × 1023 × 0.524 × 10–30
= 3.16 × 10–7 m3
A stone thrown from the top of a building is given an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s straight upward. Determine the maximum height it travels in meters. g =9.8 m /
Initial velocity u = 20.0 m/s
At maximum height stone ll be stopped,
So final velocity v = 0 m/s
Acceleration due to gravity a = g =
-9.8 m/s2 (-ve Because it is in opposite direction of motion)
Let maximum height = s
We know,
=>
At a distance L=400m from the traffic lights the brakes are applied to a locomotive moving at a velocity v=54km/hr. Determine the position of locomotive relative to the traffic lights 1 minute after the application of the brakes if its acceleration is -0.3m/s2.
Initial velocity u = 54 km/h = 15 m/s
Let Final velocity v = 0
Acceleration a = -0.3 m/s2
Time taken to stop = t
Using
=>
=> t = 50 sec
It means it has been stopped before 1 minutes.
So distance covered in 1 minute
=>
=> s = 375 m
Position of locomotive relative to the traffic lights= 400-375 = 25 m
Consider the cyclic process depicted in Figure If Q is negative for the process BC, and if is negative for the process CA, what are the signs of W and that are associated with BC?
W = area under P-V curve = 0
A shell of mass 0.020 kg is fired by a gun of mass 100 kg. If the muzzle speed of the shell is 80 m , what is the recoil speed of the gun?
Massof shell,
Mass of gun,
Speed of shell,
Let V be the recoil speed of the gun. According to the law of conservation of momentum,
Initial momentum = Final momentum
Negative sign indicates that the gun moves backward as the bullet moves forward.
