A particle is confined between rigid walls separated by a distance L = 0.167 nm. The particle is in the second excited state (n

= 3). Evaluate the probability to find the particle in an interval of width 1.00 pm located at: x = 0.166 nm; x = 0.028 nm; x = 0.067 nm. (Hint: No integrations are required for this problem; use P(x)dx = |ψ(x)|2dx directly.) What would be the corresponding results for a classical particle?

Answer:

The answer for a classical particle is 0.00595

Explanation:

The equation of the wave function of a particle in a box in the second excited state equals:

ψ(x) = ((2/L)^1/2) * sin((3*pi*x)/L)

The probability is equal to:

P(x)dx = (|ψ(x)|^2)dx = ((2/L)^1/2) * sin((3*pi*x)/L) = (2/L) * sin^2((3*pi*x)/L) dx

for x = 0.166 nm

P(x)dx = (2/0.167) * sin^2((3*pi*0.166)/0.167) * 100 pm = 0.037x10^-3

for x = 0.028 nm

P(x)dx = (2/0.167) * sin^2((3*pi*0.028)/0.167) * 100 pm = 11x10^-3

for x = 0.067 nm

P(x)dx = (2/0.167) * sin^2((3*pi*0.067)/0.167) * 100 pm = 3.99x10^-3

therefore, the classical probability is equal to:

(1/L)dx = (1/0.167)*100 pm = 0.00595

PE (potential energy) + KE (kinetic energy) will equal ME (mechanical energy) ... explain this in your own words, or by using an
sdas [7]

Answer:

Potential energy plus kinetic energy equals mechanical energy because mechanical energy is basically just all of an object's energy, it's just two kinds of energy. The potential is stored inside and kinetic is being used. Both of those together is the total amount of the objects energy, which is the mechanical energy.

A research submarine has a 30-cm-diameter window that is 8.1 cm thick. The manufacturer says the window can withstand forces up
malfutka [58]

The pressure at a certain depth underwater is:

P = ρgh

P = pressure, ρ = sea water density, g = gravitational acceleration near Earth, h = depth

The pressure exerted on the submarine window is:

P = F/A

P = pressure, F = force, A = area

The area of the circular submarine window is:

A = π(d/2)²

A = area, d = diameter

Set the expressions for the pressure equal to each other:

F/A = ρgh

Substitute A:

F/(π(d/2)²) = ρgh

Isolate h:

h = F/(ρgπ(d/2)²)

Given values:

F = 1.1×10⁶N

ρ = 1030kg/m³ (pulled from a Google search)

g = 9.81m/s²

d = 30×10⁻²m

Plug in and solve for h:

h = 1.1×10⁶/(1030(9.81)π(30×10⁻²/2)²)

h = 1540m

a) El Niño is defined as an abnormal weather pattern caused by the warming of the Pacific Ocean near the equator, off the coast of South America. The sun warms the water near the equator, which can make more clouds and, therefore, more rain. It has detrimental effects on biodiversity leading to its large-scale loss by
warmer sea temperatures leading to plankton and fish kills in coastal waters
lower sea levels leading to exposure of underwater coral reefs, causing their loss.

A point charge q1q1 is held stationary at the origin. A second charge q2q2 is placed at point aa, and the electric potential ene
Yuri [45]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

            U_{a} = 5.4 \times 10^{-8} J

        W_{/text{a to b}} = -1.9 \times 10^{-8} J

        Electric potential energy (U_{b}) = ?

Formula to calculate electric potential energy is as follows.

            U_{b} = U_{a} - W_{/text{a to b}}

                        = 5.4 \times 10^{-8} J - (-1.9 \times 10^{-8} J)

                        = 7.3 \times 10^{-8} J

Thus, we can conclude that the electric potential energy of the pair of charges when the second charge is at point b is 7.3 \times 10^{-8} J.
