The number of atoms needed to be laid side by side to span a distance of 6.11 mm is 17,457,143.

<h3>What is Unit conversion?</h3>

Unit conversion is a way of converting some common units into another without changing their real value. for, example, 1 centimeter is equal to 10 mm, though the real measurement is still the same the units and numerical values have been changed.

Given that the radius of a lead atom is 175 picometers. Therefore, the radius of the lead atom in mm can be written as,

1 picometer = 10⁻⁹ millimeter

175 picometer = 175×10⁻⁹ millimeter

The radius of the lead atom = 175×10⁻⁹ millimeter

Since the atoms are needed to be arranged side by side, therefore, the diameter of one lead atom will join with the other, thus, the diameter of the lead atom is,

Diameter of lead atom = 2 × 175 × 10⁻⁹ millimeter = 350 ×10⁻⁹ millimeter

Now, let the number of lead atoms be represented by n. Therefore, the number of atoms needed to be laid side by side to span a distance of 6.11 mm is,

6.11 mm = Number of atoms × Diameter of atoms

6.11 mm = n × 350 ×10⁻⁹ mm

Solving for n,

n = 6.11 mm / 350 ×10⁻⁹ mm

n = 17,457,142.86 ≈ 17,457,143

Hence, the number of atoms needed to be laid side by side to span a distance of 6.11 mm is 17,457,143.

An electron, moving toward the west, enters a uniform magnetic field. Because of this field the electron curves upward. The dire

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

<em>The magnetic field's direction is towards the north</em>

Explanation:

The force on a positive charge in a uniform magnetic field is represented by the right hand rule. To determine the direction of the force, place your right hand with your palm up, and your thumb at 90° to the other fingers. If the fingers represent the magnetic field, and the thumb the direction of the positive charge, then the palm will push up in the direction of the force. But a negative charge like an electron pushes in exactly the opposite direction. So if you follow this rule, you will find that the magnetic field points towards the north.

you are about to work some magic with matter. you have a rectangular cube of matter in its solid state. it measures 3 in x 4 in

Elenna [48]

In solid and liquid the matter can occupy the 90 in³ and 157.1 in³ volume.

The matter in gaseous state can be expanded to occupy the volumes of the container.

<h3>Volume of each of the container</h3>

The volume of each of the container is calculated as follows;

<h3>Volume of the rectangular container</h3>

V = 5 in x 6 in x 3 in

V = 90 in³

<h3>Volume of the cylindrical container</h3>

V = πr²h

V = (π)(2.5 in)²(8 in)

V = 157.1 in³

<h3>Volume of the matter</h3>

Vm = 3 in x 4 in x 5 in

Vm = 60 in³

<h3>Matter in solid and liquid state</h3>

Matter has fixed volume in solid and liquid state.

In solid and liquid the matter can occupy the 90 in³ and 157.1 in³ volume.

<h3>Matter in gaseous state</h3>

Matter has no definite volume in gaseous state.

The matter in gaseous state can be expanded to occupy the volumes of the container.

An electron is a negatively charged particle that has a charge of magnitude, e - 1.60 x 10-19 C. Which one of the following stat

irina [24]

Explanation:

The charge on the electron is, $q=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

The electric field at a distance r from the electron is :

$E=k\dfrac{q}{r^2}$

Where

k is the electrostatic constant, $k=\dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}$

We know that the electric field lines starts from positive charge and ends at the negative charge. Also, for a positive charge the field lines are outwards while for a negative charge the field lines are inwards.

So, the correct option is " the electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of $k\dfrac{q}{r^2}$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
