Hi; Could someone please help me with this question: "Suppose you have measured the flow rate for a number of tubes with different lengths but the same radius, how would you graph your data to test Poiseulle's law (Hint: choose the scales of the axes so that the theoretical graph is a straight...

Hi; I was wondering if someone could please help me with this question: "When you measure the law of reflection and the law of refraction, what is the advantage of making 2 measurements: one clockwise from the normal and one counterclockwise from the normal?" Could an advantage be that this is...

Ok, so I find the energy change by doing E of upper state - energy of lower state right? So I get (-0.2) - (-0.5) = 0.3 After I find this energy change, how do i find the decrease in mass? If I use E=mc^2, I plug in 0.3 into E and 1.00794 into m? What am I solving for? I'm confused. Thanks...

I guess so. That's what confuses me about the question. I don't know how to incorporate the mass into it. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

Hi; Could someone please help me with this question: By what fraction does the mass of an H atom decrease when it makes an n=7 to n=5 transition? How would I go about this question? Thank you.

Hi; Could someone please help me with this question: A small insect is placed 5.37 cm from a +5.84 cm focal length lens. a) Calculate the position of the image. b) Calculate the angular magnification. For part a I used the lens equation 1/f = 1/d object + 1/d image, and I the position of the...

HI; Could someone please help me with this question: Calculate the minimum thickness needed for an antireflective coating (n=1.35) applied to a glass lens in order to eliminate blue (458 nm) reflections for light at normal incidence? How would I go about this question? Thanks.

Hi; Could someone please help me with the following question: In a double-slit experiment it is found that blue light of wavelength 460 nm gives a second-order maximum at a certain location on the screen. What wavelength of visible light would have a minimum at the same location? Can i use the...

Hi; Could someone please help me with the following question: The image of a distant tree is virtual and very small when viewed in a curved mirror. The image appears to be 18.8 cm behind the mirror. What is its radius of curvature? (Use positive for concave and negative for convex). Would I...

Are you saying to do 0.264 x 36.8E-6? Because that doesn't give me the right answer. Thanks.

Hi; Could someone please help me with the following question: If the restoring spring of a galvanometer weakens by 26.4% over the years, what current will give full-scale deflection if it originally required 36.8uA? Thanks for your help.

Voltage question... Hi; Could somebody please help me with the following question: Suppose you want to run some apparatus that is 62.3 m from an electric outlet. Each of the wires connecting your apparatus to the 120 V source has a resistance per unit length of 0.00600 ohms/m. If your...

I'm not sure about the resitivity, but would this help: That the concentration of Na+ inside axon is 15 mol/m^3 and the concentration of Na+ ouside axon is 140 mol/m^3. And the area of a cylinder (like the axon) is 2(pi)(r)(L).

Um I'm thinking that I will have to use this equation: R= resitivity*L/A, and therefore I need that 12 cm to use as my length and the diameter to use as my area. I'm guessing I can use this equation to solve for R, but than how do I use the rate? That is what confuses me. Thanks.

The axon... Hi; The axon is sort of like a tube, because impulses travel through the cell by coming in from small tube like appendages called dendrites, into the cell body, and than travel out via the axon...which is like a long tail. Signals are received by the dendrites and are propagated...

Hi; Could somebody please help me with the following question: During the action potential, Na+ ions move into the cell at a rate of 3.03E-7 mol/m^2*s. How much power must be produced by the "active Na+ pumping" system to produce this flow agaisnt a +33.9 mV potential difference? Assume that...

thanks Thanks a lot for your help, I understand it now.

Hi; Could someone please help me with the following question: A huge 4.0 F capacitor has enough stored energy to heat 2.5 kg of water form 21 degrees celsius to 95 degrees celsius. What is the potential difference across the plates? Could i use the equation: PE = 1/2 CV^2. However, I do not...

Hi; Could someone please help me with this question: An electron (m= 9.11E-31 kg) is accelerated in the uniform field E (E= 1.45 x 10^4 N/C) b/w two parallel charged plates. The separation of the plates is 1.10cm. The electron is accelerated from rest near the negative plate and passes...

Thanks... Thanks guys, I figured this one out.

Hi; Could somebody please help me with the following question: Dry air will break down and generate a spark if the electric field exceeds about 2.90E+6 N/C. How much charge could be packed onto a green pea (diameter 0.800 cm) before the pea spontaneously discharges? The formula i used was...

Hi; Could somebody please help me with this question: A 3.0g copper penny has a postive charge of 38uC. What fraction of its electrons has it lost? The method I tried was: (3g/63.55g) x 6.02E23 x A(what I'm solving for) = 38xE-6. Than I took my answer and divided it by 29. However this will...
