Answer:

a) 4

b) 2

c) 8

Explanation:

In a cubic lattice, each atom of the vertex is shared among other 8 unit cells, so the atoms on the vertex contribute to 1/8 to a given unit cell.

a) Ina face-centered cubic we have 8 atoms on the vertex and one in each face, which is shared with another unit cell, so it contribute to 1/2

Therefore, the total atoms are:

8*(1/8) + 6*(1/2) = 4

b) In the body centered cubic structure, the centered atom is not shared with another cell, therefore it contribute to 1 to the given cell:

The number of atoms per unit cel is:

8*(1/8) + 1 = 2

c) The diamond lattice is similar to the face-centered cubic lattice but it contains two identical atoms per lattice point.

Therefore it must contain twice atoms than the face-centered cubic lattice:

that is, it has 8 atoms per unit cell

A thin spherical shell has a radius of 0.70 m. An applied torque of 860 N m gives the shell an angular acceleration of 4.70 rad/
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

I=182.97\ kg-m^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of a spherical shell, r = 0.7 m

Torque acting on the shell, \tau=860\ N

Angular acceleration of the shell, \alpha =4.7\ m/s^2

We need to find the rotational inertia of the shell about the axis of rotation. The relation between the torque and the angular acceleration is given by :

\tau=I\alpha

I is the rotational inertia of the shell

I=\dfrac{\tau}{\alpha }\\\\I=\dfrac{860}{4.7}\\\\I=182.97\ kg-m^2

So, the rotational inertia of the shell is 182.97\ kg-m^2.

The electric motor of a model train accelerates the train from rest to 0.620 m/s in 21ms. The total mass of the train is 825 g.
Rudiy27

Explanation:

Average power = change in energy / change in time

P = ΔE / Δt

P = (½ mv²) / t

P = (½ (0.825 kg) (0.620 m/s)²) / (0.021 s)

P = 7.55 Watts
