Explain why the term Nano is used to describe nanotechnology​

Physics
1 answer:
Volgvan3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Nanotechnology means working with materials at the scale of one billionth of a metre.

Explanation:

The prefix “nano” refers to one billionth: it’s part of the scientific scale of measurement. Its science, engineering, and technology are conducted at the nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers. Nanoscience and nanotechnology are the study and application of extremely small things. Thus, this describes why the term nano is used to describe nanotechnology.

I hope this helps :)

A submarine is stranded on the bottom of the ocean with its hatch 21.0 m below the surface. calculate the force (in n) needed to
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

28,400 N

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating the pressure that acts on the upper surface of the hatch. It is given by the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the columb of water, which is given by Stevin's law:

p_{top} = p_{atm} + \rho g h=1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)(21.0 m)=3.071 \cdot 10^5 Pa

On the lower part of the hatch, there is a pressure equal to

p_{bot}=p_{atm}=1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa

So, the net pressure acting on the hatch is

p=p_{top}-p_{bot}=3.071 \cdot 10^5 Pa - 1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa=2.058 \cdot 10^5 Pa

which acts from above.

The area of the hatch is given by:

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (\frac{0.420 m}{2})^2=0.138 m^2

So, the force needed to open the hatch from the inside is equal to the pressure multiplied by the area of the hatch:

F=pA=(2.058\cdot 10^5 Pa)(0.138 m^2)=28,400 N

The parallel plates in a capacitor, with a plate area of 8.00 cm2 and an air-filled separation of 2.70 mm, are charged by a 8.70
MrRa [10]

Answer:

a)  ΔV₁ = 21.9 V, b) U₀ = 99.2 10⁻¹² J, c) U_f = 249.9 10⁻¹² J,  d)  W = 150 10⁻¹² J

Explanation:

Let's find the capacitance of the capacitor

         C = \epsilon_o \frac{A}{d}

         C = 8.85 10⁻¹² (8.00 10⁻⁴) /2.70 10⁻³

         C = 2.62 10⁻¹² F

for the initial data let's look for the accumulated charge on the plates

          C = \frac{Q}{\Delta V}

          Q₀ = C ΔV

           Q₀ = 2.62 10⁻¹² 8.70

           Q₀ = 22.8 10⁻¹² C

a) we look for the capacity for the new distance

          C₁ = 8.85 10⁻¹² (8.00 10⁻⁴) /6⁴.80 10⁻³

          C₁ = 1.04 10⁻¹² F

       

          C₁ = Q₀ / ΔV₁

          ΔV₁ = Q₀ / C₁

          ΔV₁ = 22.8 10⁻¹² /1.04 10⁻¹²

          ΔV₁ = 21.9 V

b) initial stored energy

          U₀ = \frac{Q_o}{ 2C}

          U₀ = (22.8 10⁻¹²)²/(2  2.62 10⁻¹²)

          U₀ = 99.2 10⁻¹² J

c) final stored energy

          U_f = (22.8 10⁻¹²) ² /(2  1.04 10⁻⁻¹²)

          U_f = 249.9 10⁻¹² J

d) the work of separating the plates

as energy is conserved work must be equal to energy change

          W = U_f - U₀

          W = (249.2 - 99.2) 10⁻¹²

          W = 150 10⁻¹² J

note that as the energy increases the work must be supplied to the system
