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.

We intend to observe two distant equal brightness stars whose angular separation is 50.0 × 10-7 rad. Assuming a mean wavelength

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

13.4cm

Explanation:

According to Rayleigh’s criterion the angular resolution to distinguish two objects is given by:

$\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{b}$

θ = 50.0*10^-7 rad

λ: wavelength of the light = 550nm

b = diameter of the objective

By doing b the subject of the formula and replacing the values of the angle and wavelength you obtain:

$b=1.22\frac{\lambda}{\theta}=1.22\frac{550*10^{-9}m}{50.0*10^{-7}rad}=0.134m=13.4cm$

hence, the smallest diameter objective lens is 13.4cm

The electric field in a region of space increases from 0 to 2150 N/C in 5.00 s. What is the magnitude of the induced magnetic fi

Feliz [49]

To solve this problem we will use the Ampere-Maxwell law, which describes the magnetic fields that result from a transmitter wire or loop in electromagnetic surveys. According to Ampere-Maxwell law:

$\oint \vec{B}\vec{dl} = \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \frac{d\Phi_E}{dt}$

Where,

B= Magnetic Field

l = length

$\mu_0$ = Vacuum permeability

$\epsilon_0$ = Vacuum permittivity

Since the change in length (dl) by which the magnetic field moves is equivalent to the perimeter of the circumference and that the electric flow is the rate of change of the electric field by the area, we have to

$B(2\pi r) = \mu_0 \epsilon_0 \frac{d(EA)}{dt}$

Recall that the speed of light is equivalent to

$c^2 = \frac{1}{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}$

Then replacing,

$B(2\pi r) = \frac{1}{C^2} (\pi r^2) \frac{d(E)}{dt}$

$B = \frac{r}{2C^2} \frac{dE}{dt}$

Our values are given as

$dE = 2150N/C$

$dt = 5s$

$C = 3*10^8m/s$

$D = 0.440m \rightarrow r = 0.220m$

Replacing we have,

$B = \frac{r}{2C^2} \frac{dE}{dt}$

$B = \frac{0.220}{2(3*10^8)^2} \frac{2150}{5}$

$B =5.25*10^{-16}T$

Therefore the magnetic field around this circular area is $B =5.25*10^{-16}T$

A radio wave has a speed of 3.00 x10^8 and a frequency of 100 MHz. What is the wavelength?

dlinn [17]

Answer:

Wavelength of radio is wave is 3 m

Explanation:

Wavelength of radio is wave is

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where

$v=3 \times 10^8 m\s\\f=100 Mhz$

wavelength is

$\lambda=\frac{3\times 10^8}{100\times 10^6} \\\\\lambda=3 m\\$

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The center of the Milky Way most likely contains a supermassive black hole.

Explanation:

Because it is an eleptical galaxy, it has a little rotation to it but not enough to flatten out so the center will contain a supermassive black hole.
