Consider a field of insects, all of which have essentially the same mass.

If the total momentum of the insects is zero, this means all of the insects are at rest or are moving in opposite of each other. Same if the total kinetic energy is zero.

<h3>What is momentum? </h3>

Momentum is the quantity of motion which is multiplied by the amount of matter moved i.e., mass and the velocity at which it moves. Because, the object is in motion, it is a vector quantity, it has both direction and magnitude. It is determined by the product of the object's mass and the velocity of object.

If the total momentum of the insects is zero, this could mean anything of the two things. Either, all of the insects are at rest or an equal amount of insects are moving in opposite direction of each other which cancels out the total momentum of the insects.

If the total kinetic energy of the insects is zero, this means either all of the insects are at rest or an equal amount of insects are moving in opposite direction of one another which results into canceling out the energy.

A 4.0 kg box is released from rest on a frictionless ramp. The box slides from the ramp onto a rough horizontal
muminat

Answer:

Assuming air resistance is negligible, all of the potential energy that the object has at the top of the ramp is converted into kinetic energy by the time it gets to the bottom of the ramp.  This is because no matter what path the object takes to move the 5m vertically (ie. falling straight down v. sliding on the ramp), gravity does the same amount of work on it.

Thus, calculate the total amount of potential energy at the top of the ramp:

Ep=mgh

Ep=4(9.81)5

Ep=196.2 Joules

Because all of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy in the object by the bottom of the ramp, the object hits the spring with 196.2J of energy.

By using the formula for elastic potential energy, you can calculate exactly how far the spring compresses.

196.2=(1/2)k(x^2)

392.4=(350)(x^2)

1.1211=x^2

sqrt(1.1211)=x

x=1.059m

As for the last part of the question, after the object compresses the spring fully and stops momentarily, the spring converts it's elastic potential energy back into kinetic energy in the object and pushes it away again.

Consider a one-dimensional crystal (similar to a carbon nanowire) with length 10 um and lattice spacing 0.1 nm.
Finger [1]

Answer:

a)  Fermi level = 600 electron-volts

b) \frac{2.04 * 10^{13} }{\sqrt{E} }

Explanation:

Given data:

length of one-dimensional crystal = 10 um

Lattice spacing = 0.1 nm

A) Determine the Fermi level assuming one electron per atom

Total length = 10 <em>u</em>m

Interatomic separation of a = 0.1 nm

in this case the Atom has one electron therefore the number of electrons = 10^5  and the number of states Ns = gsN = 2 * 10^5  ( attached below is some part of the solution )

hence : Fermi level = 600 electron-volts

B) Determine the density of states as a function of electron energy

attached below is the detailed solution
