In physical chemistry, the mean free path is the average distance between the atoms during collision. Its formula is

 Mean \ free \ path \ = \frac{RT}{ \sqrt{2}  \pi  d^{2} N_{A}P  }

where d is the diameter of the Nitrogen atom (d = 310 x 10^-7 m), Na is Avogadro's number (Na=6.022 x 10^23), R is the gas constant (8.314 J/mol-K), T is the absolute temperature (T= 20 + 273 = 293 K). Substituting the values,

1.5 = \frac{(8.314)(293)}{ \sqrt{2} \pi (310 \ x\ 10^{-7} )^{2} (6.022 \ x\ 10^{23} )P }
P = 6.32 x 10^-13 Pascals

A cylinder is fitted with a piston, beneath which is a spring, as in the drawing. The cylinder is open to the air at the top. Fr
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

x = 0.0537 m or 5.37 cm

Explanation:

Given:

spring constant'k'= 4900 N/m

radius 'r' =0.029 m

Area 'A' =r²π = 0.029²π => 2.6 x 10^{-3} m²

Here, Pressure 'P' is given by,

Pressure = Force / Area

And we know that, for a spring :

F = kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the change in length.

P = kx/A

As P = 101325 Pa

101325 = 4900x / ( 2.6 x 10^{-3})

x = 0.0537 m or 5.37 cm

A 1300-kg car initially has a velocity of 22.2 m/s due south. It brakes to a stop over a 180 m distance.
Vaselesa [24]
The acceleration of the object which moves from an initial step to a full halt given the distance traveled can be calculated through the equation,
                                     d = v² / 2a
where d is distance, v is the velocity, and a is acceleration
Substituting the known values,
                                     180 = (22.2 m/s)² / 2(a)
The value of a is equal to 1.369 m/s²
The force needed for the object to be stopped is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration.
                                      F = (1300 kg)(1.369 m/s²) 
                                            F = 1779.7 N

Angelina_Jolie [31]

A very small source of light that radiates uniformly in all directions produces an electric field with an amplitude of ܧ ௠at a distance R from the source. What is the amplitude of the magnetic field at a point 2R from the source?

If the distance from the source is doubled. The amplitude of the magnetic field is smaller 4 times.
