<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

grin007 [14]

Answer:

a = 4.9(1 - sinθ - 0.4cosθ)

Explanation:

Really not possible without a complete setup.

I will ASSUME that this an Atwood machine with two masses (m) connected by an ideal rope passing over an ideal pulley. One mass hangs freely and the other is on a slope of angle θ to the horizontal with coefficient of friction μ. Gravity is g

                                     F = ma

mg - mgsinθ - μmgcosθ = (m + m)a

      mg(1 - sinθ - μcosθ) = 2ma

      ½g(1 - sinθ - μcosθ) = a

maximum acceleration is about 2.94 m/s² when θ = 0

acceleration will be zero when θ is greater than about 46.4°
