Assume the radius of an atom, which can be represented as a hard sphere, is r = 1.95 Å. The atom is placed in a (a) simple cubic

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

(a) A = $3.90 \AA$

(b) $A = 4.50 \AA$

(d) $A = 9.02 \AA$

Solution:

As per the question:

Radius of atom, r = 1.95 $\AA = 1.95\times 10^{- 10} m$

Now,

(a) For a simple cubic lattice, lattice constant A:

A = 2r

A = $2\times 1.95 = 3.90 \AA$

(b) For body centered cubic lattice:

$A = \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}r$

$A = \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\times 1.95 = 4.50 \AA$

$A = 2{\sqrt{2}}r$

$A = 2{\sqrt{2}}\times 1.95 = 5.51 \AA$

(d) For diamond lattice:

$A = 2\times \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}r$

$A = 2\times \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\times 1.95 = 9.02 \AA$

Displacement vectors of 4km north, 2km south, 5km north, 5km south combine to a total displacement of

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer

The combined displacement is 2km north

Explanation

Since displacement is a vector quantity, we take into account the direction.

Good for us all the displacement vectors are in the same dimension, so we can make north positive and south negative or vice-versa.

We now add to obtain,

$4+-2+5+-5$

This will simplify to

$=4-2+5-5=2$

Therefore the combined displacement is 2km north

A hammer strikes one end of a thick iron rail of length 8.80 m. A microphone located at the opposite end of the rail detects two

stepladder [879]

Answer:

ΔT = 0.02412 s

Explanation:

We will simply calculate the time for both the waves to travel through rail distance.

FOR THE TRAVELING THROUGH RAIL:

$T_{rail} = \frac{Distance}{Speed\ of\ Sound\ in\ Rail}\\\\T_{rail} = \frac{8.8\ m}{5950\ m/s}\\\\T_{rail} = 0.00148\ s$

FOR THE WAVE TRAVELING THROUGH AIR:

$T_{air} = \frac{Distance}{Speed\ of\ Sound\ in\ Air}\\\\T_{air} = \frac{8.8\ m}{343\ m/s}\\\\T_{air} = 0.0256\ s$

The separation in time between two pulses can now be given as follows:

$\Delta T = T_{air}-T_{rail} \\\Delta T = 0.0256\ s - 0.00148\ s\\$

ΔT = 0.02412 s
