What is the total intensity level : A loudspeaker is generating sound in a room. At a certain point, the sound waves coming directly from the speaker (without reflecting from the walls) create an intensity level of 74.1 dB. The waves reflected from the walls create, by themselves, an i..

Change in linear density caused by change in temperature : A copper wire, whose cross-sectional area is 5.22 x 10-6 m2, has a linear density of 5.86 x 10-3 kg/m and is strung between two walls. At the ambient temperature, a transverse wave travels with a speed of 43.1 m/s on this wire. The coefficient of ..

You want to distinguish singly ionized (1+) molecules of 175 proton masses from those with 176 p..

What direction is the coriolis force : On the salt flats of Bonnevile, Utah (latitude 41 degrees N) the British auto racer John Cobb in 1947 became the first man to travel at a speed of 400 mph on land. If he was headed due north at this speed, find the ratio of the magnitude of the Co..

Which technique is used to determine magnetic structure : Diffraction studies involving X-rays, electrons or neutrons give information about the crystallographic properties of solids. Compare these three techniques with reference to particle energies and types of information that can be obtained. Which ..

What is the change in entropy for the entire mixed system : An air parcel occupied by an ideal gas (T1 = 255 K, V1 = 1500m3, m1 = 1680 kg) collides and mixes with a second air parcel occupied by a second ideal gas (T2 = 280 K, V2 = 1200 m3, m2 = 1392 kg). Assuming the specific heat capacities of the gases ..

The ground state of the realistic helium atom : The ground state of the realistic helium atom is of course nondegenerate. However, consider a hypothetical helium atom in which the two electrons are replaced by two identical spin-one particles of negative charge. Neglect spin-dependent forces. F..
