In a city grid, each block on the east-west streets is 100 meters long. Each block on the north-south streets is 20 meters long.

A walker walks 4 blocks west and then 4 blocks south. How much farther did the walker travel than the actual distance between the start and end points?

Answer:

72.1 m

Explanation:

Hello!

When the walker walks west, each block he walks will be of 100 m, so the walker walked 4*100m = 400 m west.

Similarly, when the walker walks south, he walks 20 meters per block, therefore, the walker walked 4*20 m = 80 m south.

Since the directions west and south are perpendicular, the distance between the start ad end point is:

d = √(400^2 + 80^2) m = 407.92 m

However the walker traveled 480 m

Therefore, the walker traveled 480 - 407.9 m = 72.1 m farther than the actual distance

Practice entering numbers that include a power of 10 by entering the diameter of a hydrogen atom in its ground state, dH = 1.06
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

1.06085\times 10^{-10}\ m

Explanation:

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s

m = Mass of electron = 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2

e = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

n = 1 (ground state)

Angular momentum is given by

L=mvr

From Bohr's atomic model we have

L=\dfrac{nh}{2\pi}

mvr=\dfrac{nh}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{nh}{2\pi mr}

The centripetal force will balance the electrostatic force

\dfrac{ke^2}{r^2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{ke^2}{r}=mv^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{ke^2}{r}=m(\dfrac{nh}{2\pi mr})^2\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{n^2h^2}{4\pi^2mke^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{1^2\times (6.626\times 10^{-34})^2}{4\pi^2 \times 9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 8.99\times 10^{9}\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}\\\Rightarrow r=5.30426\times 10^{-11}\ m

The diameter is 2\times 5.30426\times 10^{-11}=1.06085\times 10^{-10}\ m
