Answer:

True

Explanation:

Going even smaller than atoms would get you to subatomic particles such as quarks. From there, it is impossible to distinguish elements. So, yes, atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retains the original characteristic of the element.

If there was any way to do that, then your teacher wouldn't
need to keep you coming into class every day and doing
homework every night. She could just give you the 3 or 4
paragraphs and a few pictures that you're asking me for,
and bada-bing ! you'd know it !

The time it takes, and the amount of homework it takes, is
EXACTLY the time you spent hearing about it in class.

you're not and I'm not.)

The distance between slits in a double-slit experiment is decreased by a factor of 2. If the distance between fringes is small c

Elodia [21]

Answer:

the distance between adjacent fringes is increased by a factor o 2

Explanation:

To find how the distance between fringes is modified you can use the following formula for the calculation of the distance between fringes:

$\Delta y=\frac{\lambda D}{d}$

D: distance to the screen

d: distance between slits

λ: wavelength of the light

if d is decreased by a factor of 2, that is d'=1/2d, you have:

$\Delta y'=\frac{\lambda D}{d'}=\frac{\lambda D}{(1/2)d}=2\Delta y$

hence, the distance between adjacent fringes is increased by a factor o 2

Mercury has a radial acceleration of 3.96 × 10−2 m/s2 and its orbital period is T = 88 days. What is the radius of Mercury’s orb

Maslowich

Answer: 58,045,522,878.8 meters

Explanation:

Ok, the data we have is

Period = T = 88 days

Radial acceleration = ar = 3.96x10^-2 m/s^2

And we know that the equation for the radial acceleration is:

ar = v^2/r = r*w^2

Where v is the velocity. r is the radius and w is the angular velocity.

And we know that:

w = 2*pi*f

where f is the frequency, and:

T = 1/f.

Then we can write:

w = 2*pi/T

and our equation becomes:

ar = r*(2*pi/T)^2

Now we solve this for r.

First we need to use the same units in both equations, so we want to write T in seconds.

T = 88 days,

A day has 24 hours, and one hour has 3600 seconds:

T = 88*24*3600 s =7,603,200s

Then:

3.96x10^-2 m/s^2 = r*(2*3.14/7,603,200s)^2

r = (3.96x10^-2 m/s^2) /(2*3.14/7,603,200s)^2 = 58,045,522,878.8 meters
