<u>Answer:</u> The Fermi velocity of lead is 64.4 km/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the Fermi velocity, we use the equation:

V_f=\frac{h}{2\pi m_e}(\frac{3\pi^2N}{V})^{1/3}

where,

h = Planck's constant = 6.62\times 10^{-34}Js

m_e = mass of electron = 9.1\times 10^{-31}kg

N = Number of atoms present in per volume of atom multiplied by number of electrons present in given atom = \frac{2\times N_A\times V}{M}

N_A = Avogadro's number = 6.022\times 10^{26}mol^{-1}    (When the mass is in kilograms)

V = Volume = 3\times 10^{-29}m^3

M = molecular weight of lead = 207.2 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

V_f=\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}}{2\times 3.14\times (9.1\times 10^{-31})}(\frac{3\times (3.14)^2\times (2\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\times 3\times 10^{-29})}{3\times 10^{-29}\times 207.2})^{1/3}

V_f=0.0644\times 10^6m/s=64.4km/s     (Conversion factor: 1 km = 1000 m)

Hence, the Fermi velocity of lead is 64.4 km/s

How high would a projectile go if it was launched from ground level with an initial speed of 26 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees ab
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Vy = 26 m/s sin 30 = 13 m/s      vertical speed

t = Vy / a = 13 m/s / 9.80 m/s^2 = 1.33 sec     time to reach Vy = 0

H = Vy t + 1/2 g t^2

H = 13 m/s * 1.33 sec - 1.33^2 * 9.8 / 2 m = 8.62 m

Answer:

The radius of the gold nucleus is 7.1x10⁻¹⁵m

Explanation:

The nearest distance is:

r=\frac{kze^{2} }{mpV^{2} } (eq. 1)

Where

z = atomic number of gold = 79

e = electron charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

k = electrostatic constant = 9x10⁹Nm²C²

energy of the particle = 32 MeV = 5.12x10⁻¹²J

At the potential energy is zero, all the energy will be kinetic energy:

E_{k} =\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}

Where

m = 4 mp = mass of proton

5.12x10^{-12} =\frac{1}{2} *4*m_{p}* V^{2} \\m_{p}* V^{2} = 2.56x10^{-12}

Replacing in equation 1

r=\frac{9x10^{9}*79*(1.6x10^{-19})^{2}   }{2.56x10^{-12} } =7.1x10^{-15} m

The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms separated by a large distance x is given by U(x)=−C6/x6, where C6 is a positive
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be "-\frac{6C_{6}}{x^{7}}". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The potential energy will be,

⇒  U(x)= -\frac{C_{6}}{x^6}

The expression of force will be,

⇒  F=-\frac{dU(x)}{dx}

⇒      =-(C_{6}(-6)x^{-7})

⇒      =-\frac{6C_{6}}{x^{7}}

Force seems to be appealing because the expression has been negative. It therefore means that the force or substance is acting laterally in on itself.
