When four atomic orbitals are mixed to form hybrid orbitals, 4 x sp3 hybrid orbitals are formed.

Carbon's 2s and all three of its 3p orbitals hybridize to form four sp3 orbitals. These orbitals then bond with four hydrogen atoms through sp3-s orbital overlap, creating methane.

Answer:

Four

Explanation:

When atomic orbitals are combined, hybrid orbitals are formed. Hybrid orbitals exist only in covalent-bonded atoms and not in isolated atoms. The shapes and orientations of hybrids are different from that of atomic orbitals. The number of hybrid orbitals is same as the number of atomic orbitals that combined to form atomic orbitals. Thus, when 4 atomic orbitals are mixed then 4 hybrid orbitals are formed.

Len [333]

Answer:236 J

Explanation:

Given

Mass of sofa $m=60 kg$

Displacement $s=5.9 m$

Force $F=40 N$

neglecting Friction

Work done is given by

$W=F\cdot s$

$W=F\cdot s\cos 0$

$W=40\cdot 5.9$

$W=236 J$

An ant travels 2.78 cm (West) and then turns and travels 6.25 cm (South 40 degrees East). What is the ant's total displacement?

andrey2020 [161]

$From\ cosine\ theorem:\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcos(\angle between\ a\ and\ b)\\\\
a=2,78\\b=6,25\\
\angle between\ a\ and\ b=90+50=140^{\circ}\\\\
c^2=2,78^2+6,25^2-2*2,78*6,25cos(140^{\circ})\\\\
c^2=7,7284+39,0625-34,75*(-0,77)\\\\c^2=46,7909+26,7575\\\\c^2=735484\\\\c=8,58cm\\\\Total\ displacement\ is\ equal\ to\ 8,58cm.$

The sound produced by the loudspeaker in the drawing has a frequency of 11999 Hz and arrives at the microphone via two different

const2013 [10]

The speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency, f = 11999Hz

Wavelength, λ = 0.03m

Velocity, v = ?

Sound speed in the tube is calculated by multiplying the frequency v by the wavelength λ.

As the sound loudness changed from a maximum to a minimum, then we know the sound interference in the case changed from constructive interference (the two sound waves are in phase, i.e. peaks are in a line with peaks and so the troughs), to a destructive interference (peaks coinciding with troughs). The least distance change required to cause such a change is a half wavelength distance, so:

λ/2 = 0.03/2

λ = 0.06m

We know,

v = λf

v = 0.06 X 11999Hz

v = 719.94m/s

Therefore, the speed at which sound travels through the gas in the tube is 719.94m/s

Answer:

The solution to the question above is explained below:

Explanation:

For which solid is the lumped system analysis more likely to be applicable?

Answer

The lumped system analysis is more likely to be applicable for the body cooled naturally.

Question :Why?

Answer

Biot number is proportional to the convection heat transfer coefficient, and it is proportional to the air velocity. When Biot no is less than 0.1 in the case of natural convection, then lumped analysis can be applied.

Further explanations:

Heat is a form of energy.

Heat transfer describes the flow of heat across the boundary of a system due to temperature differences and the subsequent temperature distribution and changes. There are three different ways the heat can transfer: conduction, convection, or radiation.

Heat transfer analysis which utilizes this idealization is known as the lumped system analysis.

The Biot number is a criterion dimensionless quantity used in heat transfer calculations which gives a direct indication of the relative importance of conduction and convection in determining the temperature history of a body being heated or cooled by convection at its surface. In heat transfer analysis, some bodies are observed to behave like a "lump" whose entire body temperature remains essentially uniform at all times during a heat transfer process.

Conduction is the transfer of energy in the form of heat or electricity from one atom to another within an object and conduction of heat occurs when molecules increase in temperature.

Convection is a transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid. Convection occurs within liquids and gases between areas of different temperature.
