The vernal equinox in the year AD 10000 will lie in the constellation Scorpio.

Once every 25800 years a full cycle of precession is completed. There are 12 constellations which means it takes 25800 / 12 = 2150 years to move from one constellation to the next one. The order in which the vernal equinox moves from Aquarius is Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra etc.

Now the year is 2022 AD where the vernal equinox just entered constellation Aquarius. In 4172 AD it would have entered constellation Capricorn, then constellation Sagittarius in 6322 AD, then constellation Scorpio in 8472 AD and then constellation Libra in 10622 AD. This means that in 10000 AD it is still in constellation Scorpio and yet to enter constellation Libra.

Therefore, In the year 10000 AD, the vernal equinox will lie in the constellation Scorpio.

Using arrangement (a), how many rb atoms could be placed on a square surface that is 9.5 cm on a side? the diameter of a rubidiu

Leviafan [203]

Part a

Answer: $3.64\times10^{16}$

For the arrangement considered in part a, all the atoms are aligned side by side along the side of the square surface.

Along one side of the square, the number of atoms that could fit $=\frac {length\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}side}{diameter\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}atom}=\frac{9.5\times10^{-2}m}{4.95\times10^{-10}m}=1.91\times10^8 atoms$

This is along one side. On the entire surface:

Number of atoms $= (1.91\times10^8 )^2=3.64\times10^{16} atoms$

Part b

Answer: $4.23\times10^{16}$

consider the attached figure below:

The next layer of atoms are filled in the depressions of the first layer. The vertical distance between the two atoms would change. Consider an equilateral triangle drawn by joining the centers of the three atoms.

The atoms along the horizontal side would be aligned side by side; same as above $=1.91\times10^8 atoms$

The number of atoms along vertical side would vary. vertical distance between two atoms can be calculate using equilateral triangle as shown below.

an equilateral triangle has all the angles $= 60^o$

Let the vertical distance be y.

Then, $y = 2r sin60^o$

where r is the radius of each atom. $2r= 4.95\times10^{-10} m$

$y=4.95\times10^{-10} m\times sin60^o=4.28\times10^{-10} m$

The number of atoms along the vertical side $= \frac{9.5\times10^{-2}m}{4.28\times10^{-10}m}=2.21\times10^8 atoms$

Total number of atoms in this kind of arrangement $= 1.91\times10^8\times2.21\times10^8=4.23\times10^{16} atoms$

Does a can opener make work easier by increasing force, increasing distance, or changing direction?

ivann1987 [24]

A can opener makes work easier by increasing force.

Explanation

Technically a can opener is a simple lever that increases the force with which we remove the cap of the can. Levers are rod shaped objects with fulcrum at one end and the length of the lever has a positive impact on the force.

considering the equation

work=force*distance

indicates that increasing the length of the lever/can opener increases the work done by it.

We have no way to say what the illustration represents, mainly because
you haven't given us a way to see the illustration.
