Answer:

The separation between the two lowest levels =  1.24 * 10^{-39}J

The values of n where the energy of molecule reaches 1/2 kT at 300K = 2.2 * 10^{9}

The separation at this level = 1.8 * 10^{-30}J

Explanation:

Knowing the formula

En = \frac{n^{2} h^{2}  }{8 mL^{2} }

Mass of oxygen molecule

m (O2) = 32 amu * \frac{1.6605 * 10^{-27 kg} }{1 amu}

So the energy diference between the two lowest levels:

E2 - E1 = \frac{3h^{2} }{8mL^{2} }

E2 - E1 =  \frac{3 * (6.626 * 10^{-34} Js)^{2} } {8 * 32 amu * (\frac{1.6605 * 10^{-27 kg} }{1 amu})* (5*10^{-2})^{2}   } = 1.24 * 10^{-39}J

Now we should find n where the energy of molecule reaches 1/2 kT

En = \frac{n^{2} h^{2}  }{8 mL^{2} } = \frac{1}{2}kT

\frac{h^{2}  }{8 mL^{2} } = 4.13 * 10^{-14}J

n^{2} *  (4.13 * 10^{-14}J) = \frac{1}{2} (1.38 * 10^{-23}JK^{-1}) * 300K

n = 2.2 * 10^{9}

by the end is necessary to calculate the separation of the level

En - En-1 = (n^{2} - (n - 1)^{2}) * \frac{h^{2}  }{8 mL^{2} }

              = 1.8 * 10^{-30}J

On his fishing trip Justin takes the boat 25 km south. The fish aren’t biting so he goes 10 km west. He follows a school of fish
S_A_V [24]

Distance is 50 km

Displacement is 10 km

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Distance toward south, x = 25 km

Distance towards west, y = 10 km

Distance towards north, z = 15 km

(a) Total distance, D = ?

Total distance, D = x + y + z

                       D = 25 + 10 + 15

                       D = 50km

(b) Displacement, d = ?

Displacement = final position - initial position

                      = 10 - 0 km

                      = 10km

People often think that Galileo dropped two objects of dramatically different mass off of the Leaning Tower of Pisa that both hi
kramer

Answer: because of air resistance. See explanation for further details.

Explanation: Galileo performed an experiment to proof that the time of descent of two different masses is independent of time.

But in reality this is most likely not true because of air resistance and other fluid frictional effects in consideration.

If the experiment is performed in a vacuum, it will always be true that time is independent of masses of two falling objects.

A tire swing hanging from a branch reaches nearly to the ground. How could you estimate the height of the branch using only a st
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

With the help of expression of  time period of pendulum we can calculate the height of the branch . The swinging tire can be considered equivalent to swinging bob of a pendulum . Here length of pendulum will be equal to height of branch .

Let it be h . Let the time period of swing of tire be T then from the formula of time period of pendulum

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }  where l is length of pendulum .

here l = h so

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{h}{g} }  

h = \frac{T^2g}{4\pi^2}

If we calculate the time period of swing of tire , we can calculate the height of branch .

The time period of swing of tire can be estimated with the help of a stop watch . Time period is time that the tire will take in going from one extreme point to the other end and then coming back . We can easily estimate it with the help of stop watch .
