<span>Different materials expand and contract at different rates based on temperature. Just like if you leave a plastic bottle full of water in a freezer it will burst, but if you leave it partially full no problem.....Ok?Expansion joints do the same for bridges. There is a gap to allow for temperature related expansions and contractions. Sometimes you drive over bridges and roadways where this movement is constricted and you might notice a bumpy ride. Engineers can predict the variation of structural length based on span lengths and leave the necessary gaps.....btw, NICE QUESTION:)</span>

Using arrangement (a), how many rb atoms could be placed on a square surface that is 9.5 cm on a side? the diameter of a rubidiu
Leviafan [203]

Part a

Answer: 3.64\times10^{16}

For the arrangement considered in part a, all the atoms are aligned side by side along the side of the square surface.

Along one side of the square, the number of atoms that could fit =\frac {length\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}side}{diameter\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}atom}=\frac{9.5\times10^{-2}m}{4.95\times10^{-10}m}=1.91\times10^8 atoms

This is along one side. On the entire surface:

Number of atoms = (1.91\times10^8 )^2=3.64\times10^{16} atoms

Part b

Answer: 4.23\times10^{16}

consider the attached figure below:

The next layer of atoms are filled in the depressions of the first layer. The vertical distance between the two atoms would change. Consider an equilateral triangle drawn by joining the centers of the three atoms.

The atoms along the horizontal side would be aligned side by side; same as above =1.91\times10^8 atoms

The number of atoms along vertical side would vary. vertical distance between two atoms can be calculate using equilateral triangle as shown below.

an equilateral triangle has all the angles = 60^o

Let the vertical distance be y.

Then, y = 2r sin60^o

where r is the radius of each atom. 2r= 4.95\times10^{-10} m

y=4.95\times10^{-10} m\times sin60^o=4.28\times10^{-10} m

The number of atoms along the vertical side = \frac{9.5\times10^{-2}m}{4.28\times10^{-10}m}=2.21\times10^8 atoms

Total number of atoms in this kind of arrangement = 1.91\times10^8\times2.21\times10^8=4.23\times10^{16} atoms

A 25 kg lamp is hanging from a rope. What is the tension force being supplied by the rope?
Elan Coil [88]

The tension force being supplied by the rope is 245 N.

<h3>What is tension force?</h3>
  • Tension force is the force exerted on a rope or cord due to the weight of an object suspended from it.

The tension force on the given rope due to the weight of the lamp hanging from the rope is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as shown below;

T = mg

where;

  • m is the mass = 25 kg
  • g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

T = 25 x 9.8

T = 245 N

Thus, the tension force being supplied by the rope is 245 N.

Hi
romanna [79]

Answer:HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

THE POINTS ARE

IF WE PUT THE OBJECT BETWEEN THE FOCUS

AND THE POLE

THEN THE IMAGE FORMED WILL be MAGNIFIED

If that’s not what you are looking for, try this one:

For concave mirror the virtual image is formed when the object is kept in between the pole and the focus.  

Given here the "size of the image" is twice to that of the object.

Hence, it is consider that the magnification is +2.

So, the magnification value is positive and the image formed will be "virtual and erect". Thus, the object should be kept in between the "pole and the focus" in concave mirror."
