A. The formula for mean free time is:

t = V/(4π√2 r²vN)
where
N = 1×10¹⁶ molecules (per m³)
V = 1 m³
r = 111×10⁻⁷m (atomic radius of silicon)

Let's solve for v first:
v = √(3RT/M) = √(3(8.314 m³·Pa/mol·K)(25 + 273 K)/28.1 g/mol Si)
v = 16.26 m/s

t = (1 m³)/(4π√2 (111×10⁻⁷m)²(16.26 m/s)(1×10¹⁶ molecules))
<em>t = 2.81×10⁻9 s</em>

<em>Pure silicon has a high resistivity relative to copper because copper is a conductor, while silicon is a semi-conductor. </em>

Measuring the amount of deuterium in the universe allows us to set a limit on _________.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

the density of ordinary (baryonic) matter in the universe

Explanation:

 Deuterium detection is of interest because the amount of it may be related to the amount of dark matter in the universe, but precise measurements have been difficult to obtain. Due to the way in which deuterium was created in the Big Bang, an exact measurement of the amount of deuterium would allow scientists to set limits on the models of the great explosion.

Also, an exact measure of deuterium would be an indicator of the cosmic density of barions (ordinary matter), and that density of barions would indicate whether ordinary matter is dark and is found in regions such as black holes, gas clouds or brown dwarfs, or it is bright and can be found in the stars. This information will help scientists who try to understand the very beginning of our universe.

Comet is seen after a long period of time. Why?​
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Long-period comets have orbital periods longer than 200 years. ... Since it is the sublimation of these volatiles from the nucleus of the comet as it nears the Sun that gives rise to the coma and highly-visible tails, long-period comets have more material with which to put on a show.

The Palo Verde nuclear power generator of Arizona has three reactors that have a combined generating capacity of 3.937×109 W . H
den301095 [7]

Answer:

t = 2.68 x 10¹⁴ years

Explanation:

First we need to find the amount of energy that Sun produce in one day.

Energy = Power * Time

Energy of Sun in 1 day = (3.839 x 10²⁶ W)(1 day)(24 hr/1 day)(3600 s/ 1 hr)

Energy of Sun in 1 day = 3.32 x 10³¹ J

Now, the time required by the nuclear power generator, in years, will be:

Energy of power generator = Energy Sun in 1 day = 3.32 x 10³¹ J

3.32 x 10³¹ J = Power * Time

3.32 x 10³¹ J = (3.937 x 10⁹ W)(t years)(365 days/1 year)(24 hr/1 day)(3600 s/ 1 hr)

t = 3.32 x 10³¹ /1.24 x 10¹⁷

<u>t = 2.68 x 10¹⁴ years</u>

How t calculate gravitational force
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

F=G(m1m2)/Rsquare if radius is given

F=G(m1m2)/dsquare if distance is given

where,

f =gravitational force

G =gravitational constant

m1=mass of one object

m2=mass of another object

d=distance between two object from their center r=radius of earth/planet
