If equal masses of sand and water are heated to the same temperature, which sample will absorb more energy? Base your argument on the definition of heat and what you learned from the experiment.

The dissociation energy of a molecule is the energy required tobreak apart the molecule into its separate atoms. the dissociationenergy for a particular molecule is 5.48 x 10-18 j. suppose that this energy is provided by a single photon. determinethe (a) wavelength and (b) frequency of the photon

In a thunderstorm, charge builds up on the water droplets or ice crystals in a cloud. thus, the charge can be considered to be distributed uniformly throughout the cloud. for the purposes of this problem, take the cloud to be a sphere of diameter 1.00 kilometer. the point of this problem is to estimate the maximum amount of charge that this cloud can contain, assuming that the charge builds up until the electric field at the surface of the cloud reaches the value at which the surrounding air breaks down. this breakdown means that the air becomes highly ionized, enabling it to conduct the charge from the cloud to the ground or another nearby cloud. the ionized air will then emit light due to the recombination of the electrons and atoms to form excited molecules that radiate light. in addition, the large current will heat up the air, resulting in its rapid expansion. these two phenomena account for the appearance of lightning and the sound of thunder. take the breakdown electric field of air to be eb=3.00ă—106n/c. part a estimate the total charge q on the cloud when the breakdown of the surrounding air is reached. express your answer numerically, to three significant figures, using ďµ0=8.85ă—10â’12c2/(nâ‹…m2) .

Looking at this barometer, is the air pressure high or low? what type of weather would you expect? high, bad low, bad high, good low, good
