Answer:

Explanation:

We are given that a tin has 50 electrons.

We have to find in which subshell electrons experience the lowest effective nuclear charge.

We know that the electron in outermost shell experience the lowest effective nuclear charge.

Electronic configuration is given by

$50=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^65s^24d^{10}5p^2$

Outer most sub-shell is 5p. Therefore, 5p subshell experience the lowest effective nuclear charge because the distance of 5p sub-shell is large from nucleus.

Answer: 5p

What must be the acceleration of a train in order for it to stop 12 m/s in a distance if 541 m

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The acceleration of the train must be - 0.133 m/s²

Explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the problem

A train in order for it to stop 12 m/s in a distance if 541 m

That means the initial velocity of the train is 12 m/s

Its final velocity is zero (stop)

The distance it covers is 541 m

We want to find its acceleration

The acceleration will be negative quantity because the train reduced its

velocity from 12 m/s to zero

We need rule contains velocity, acceleration and distance

So we will use ⇒<em> v² = u² + 2as</em>, where v is the final velocity, u is the

initial velocity, a is the acceleration and s is the distance

v = 0, u = 12 m/s, s = 541 m

Substitute these values in the rule

(0)² = (12)² + 2(a)(541)

0 = 144 + 1082 a

Subtract 144 from both sides

-144 = 1082 a

Divide both sides by 1082

- 0.133 = a

<em>The acceleration of the train must be - 0.133 m/s²</em>

Find the horizontal component and the vertical component

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

v=3.66,h-3.66

Explanation:

vertical = 10sin60 - 10sin 30

horizontal =10cos60 + 10cos 30

v = 10×0.8660-10×0.5

h = 10×0.5 + 10 × 0.8660

v=8.660-5.0 = 3.66

h= 5.0-8.660 = -3.66

An atom of carbon has a radius of 67.0 pm and the average orbital speed of the electrons in it is about 1.3 x 10⁶ m/s.

adoni [48]

Answer :

The least possible uncertainty in an electron's velocity is, $4.32\times 10^{5}m/s$

The percentage of the average speed is, 33 %

Explanation :

According to the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle,

$\Delta x\times \Delta p=\frac{h}{4\pi}$ ...........(1)

where,

$\Delta x$ = uncertainty in position

$\Delta p$ = uncertainty in momentum

h = Planck's constant

And as we know that the momentum is the product of mass and velocity of an object.

$p=m\times v$

or,

$\Delta p=m\times \Delta v$ .......(2)

Equating 1 and 2, we get:

$\Delta x\times m\times \Delta v=\frac{h}{4\pi}$

$\Delta v=\frac{h}{4\pi \Delta x\times m}$

Given:

m = mass of electron = $9.11\times 10^{-31}kg$

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

radius of atom = $67.0pm=67.0\times 10^{-12}m$ $(1pm=10^{-12}m)$

$\Delta x$ = diameter of atom = $2\times 67.0\times 10^{-12}m=134.0\times 10^{-12}m$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$\Delta v=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}Js}{4\times 3.14\times (134.0\times 10^{-12}m)\times (9.11\times 10^{-31}kg)}$

$\Delta v=4.32\times 10^{5}m/s$

The minimum uncertainty in an electron's velocity is, $4.32\times 10^{5}m/s$

Now we have to calculate the percentage of the average speed.

Percentage of average speed = $\frac{\text{Uncertainty in speed}}{\text{Average speed}}\times 100$

Uncertainty in speed = $4.32\times 10^{5}m/s$

Average speed = $1.3\times 10^{6}m/s$

Percentage of average speed = $\frac{4.32\times 10^{5}m/s}{1.3\times 10^{6}m/s}\times 100$

Percentage of average speed = 33.2 % ≈ 33 %

Thus, the percentage of the average speed is, 33 %
