In 1995 a research group led by Eric Cornell and Carl Wiemann at the University of Colorado successfully cooled Rubidium atoms t

o the 20-200 nK temperature range. Assuming (incorrectly) that the Rubidium atoms behave like particles of a classical ideal gas, calculate the RMS speed of a Rubidium atom at a temperature of 85.0 nK. In the experiments one particular isotope of Rubidium was used, Rubidium-87. The molar mass of this isotope is 86.91 g/mol.

Answer:

0.00493 m/s

Explanation:

T = Temperature of the isotope = 85 nK

R = Gas constant = 8.341 J/mol K

M = Molar mass of isotope = 86.91 g/mol

Root Mean Square speed is given by

$v_r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3RT}{M}}\\\Rightarrow v_r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times 8.314\times 85\times 10^{-9}}{86.91\times 10^{-3}}}\\\Rightarrow v_r=0.00493\ m/s$

The Root Mean Square speed is 0.00493 m/s

What is the value of the composite constant (Gme,/r2e) to be multiplied by the mass of the object mo, in equation below:

Sedbober [7]

To solve this problem we will apply the definitions given in Newtonian theory about the Force of gravity, and the Force caused by weight. Both will be defined below, and in equal equilibrium condition to clear the variable concerning acceleration due to gravity. Finally, with the values provided in the statement, it will be replaced.

The equation for the gravitational force between the Earth and the object on the surface of the Earth is

$F_g = \frac{Gm_em_o}{r^2_e}$

Where,

G = Universal gravitational constant

$m_e$ = Mass of Earth

$r_e$ = Distance between object and center of earth

$m_o$ = Mass of Object

The equation for the gravitational pulling force on the object due to gravitational acceleration is

$F_g = m_o g$

Equation the two expression we have

$m_o g = \frac{Gm_em_o}{r_e^2}$

$g = \frac{Gm_e}{r_e^2}$

This the acceleration due to gravity which is composite constant.

Replacing with our values we have then

$g = \frac{(6.67*10^{-11}N\cdot m^2/kg^2)(5.98*10^{24}kg)}{6378km(\frac{10^3m}{1km})^2}$

$g = 9.8m/s^2$

The value of composite constant is $9.8m/s^2$ . Here, the composite constant is nothing but the acceleration due to gravity which is constant always.

The hot glowing surfaces of stars emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. It is a good approximation to assume tha

belka [17]

Given that,

Energy $H=2.7\times10^{31}\ W$

Surface temperature = 11000 K

Emissivity e =1

(a). We need to calculate the radius of the star

Using formula of energy

$H=Ae\sigma T^4$

$A=\dfrac{H}{e\sigma T^4}$

$4\pi R^2=\dfrac{H}{e\sigma T^4}$

$R^2=\dfrac{H}{e\sigma T^4\times4\pi}$

Put the value into the formula

$R=\sqrt{\dfrac{2.7\times10^{31}}{1\times5.67\times10^{-8}\times(11000)^4\times 4\pi}}$

$R=5.0\times10^{10}\ m$

(b). Given that,

Radiates energy $H=2.1\times10^{23}\ W$

Temperature T = 10000 K

We need to calculate the radius of the star

Using formula of radius

$R^2=\dfrac{H}{e\sigma T^4\times4\pi}$

Put the value into the formula

$R=\sqrt{\dfrac{2.1\times10^{23}}{1\times5.67\times10^{-8}\times(10000)^4\times4\pi}}$

$R=5.42\times10^{6}\ m$

Hence, (a). The radius of the star is $5.0\times10^{10}\ m$

(b). The radius of the star is $5.42\times10^{6}\ m$

Four balls with different masses are dropped simultaneously from the heights

Scorpion4ik [409]

D will hit last because if air resistance is null then the only force enacting on the balls is the force of gravity. Force of Gravity has an acceleration of 9.81 ms^2 and so every ball had the same acceleration and ball D is the furthest away from the floor.

How does mass effect potential and kinetic energy on a roller coaster?

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Potential energy is measured by mass * gravity * height. So, the larger the mass on a roller coaster, the more potential energy it has.

Also, the higher it is, the more potential energy it has.

Explain why 15yr old need more calcium than adults

Tom [10]

Answer:

When adolescents get enough calcium during the teen years, they can start out their adult lives with the strong bones and significantly reduce their risk for fractures as an adult. Inadequate calcium intake during adolescence and young adulthood puts individuals at risk for developing osteoporosis later in life.
