Ulleksa [173]3 years ago
5 0

The quantum mechanical model describes the allowed energies an electron can have. It also describes how likely it is to find the electrons in various locations around an atom's nucleus.

Two streams merge to form a river. One stream has a width of 8.4 m, depth of 3.5 m, and current speed of 2.2 m/s. The other stre
hoa [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall solve this problem on the basis of pinciple that water is incompressible so volume of flow will be equal at every point .

rate of volume flow of one stream

= cross sectional area x velocity

= 8.4 x 3.5 x 2.2 = 64.68 m³ /s

rate of volume flow of other stream

= 6.6 x 3.6 x 2.7

= 64.15 m³ /s

rate of volume flow of rive , if d be its depth

= 11.2 x d x 2.8

= 31.36 d

volume flow of river = Total of volume flow rate of two streams

31.36 d  = 64.15 + 64.68

31.36 d  = 128.83

d = 4.10 m /s .

What is the main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere?
konstantin123 [22]
The main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere would be temperature changes in these layers. Temperature is one essential property that varies in the atmosphere. Based from this variation, the atmosphere is divided into four major layers and further to three smaller layers -  troposphere, tropopause, the stratosphere,  stratopause, the mesosphere, mesopause, and the thermosphere.The troposphere is the layer that is nearest to the surface of the Earth. It is the part where humans, plants and animals survive. Also, it is the warmest layer of the atmosphere. And as we go higher the atmosphere, the temperature would drop making it much cooler.

Space pilot Mavis zips past Stanley at a constant speed relative to him of 0.800c. Mavis and Stanley start timers at zero when t
inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The equation of Lorentz transformations is given by:

x = γ(x' + ut')

x' and t' are the position and time in the moving system of reference, and u is the speed of the space ship. x is related to the observer reference.

x' = 0

t' = 5.00 s

u =0.800 c,

c is the speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Then,

γ = 1 / √ (1 - (u/c)²)

γ = 1 / √ (1 - (0.8c/c)²)

γ = 1 / √ (1 - (0.8)²)

γ = 1 / √ (1 - 0.64)

γ = 1 / √0.36

γ = 1 / 0.6

γ = 1.67

Therefore, x = γ(x' + ut')

x = 1.67(0 + 0.8c×5)

x = 1.67 × (0+4c)

x = 1.67 × 4c

x = 1.67 × 4 × 3×10⁸

x = 2.004 × 10^9 m

x ≈ 2 × 10^9 m

Now, to find t we apply the same analysis:

but as x'=0 we just have:

t = γ(t' + ux'/c²)

t = γ•t'

t = 1.67 × 5

t = 8.35 seconds

b. Mavis reads 5 s on her watch which is the proper time.

Stanley measured the events at a time interval longer than ∆to by γ,

such that

∆t = γ ∆to = (5/3)(5) = 25/3 = 8.3 sec which is the same as part (b)

c. According to Stanley,

dist = u ∆t = 0.8c (8.3) = 2 x 10^9 m

which is the same as in part (a)

How does the electrostatic force compare with the strong nuclear force in the
diamong [38]

Answer:

Strong nuclear force is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force

Explanation:

There are mainly two forces acting between protons and neutrons in the nucleus:

- The electrostatic force, which is the force exerted between charged particles (therefore, it is exerted between protons only, since neutrons are not charged). The magnitude of the force is given by

F_E=\frac{kq_1 q_2}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the  charges of the two particles, r is the separation between the particles.

The force is attractive for two opposite charges and repulsive for two same charges: therefore, the electrostatic force between two protons is repulsive.

- The strong nuclear force, which is the force exerted between nucleons. At short distance (such as in the nucleus), it is attractive, therefore neutrons and protons attract each other and this contributes in keeping the whole nucleus together.

At the scale involved in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force (attractive) is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force (repulsive), therefore the nucleus stays together and does not break apart.
