Answer:

The tunnel probability for 0.5 nm and 1.00 nm are $5.45\times10^{-4}$ and $7.74\times10^{-8}$ respectively.

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy E = 2 eV

Barrier V₀= 5.0 eV

Width = 1.00 nm

We need to calculate the value of $\beta$

Using formula of $\beta$

$\beta=\sqrt{\dfrac{2m}{\dfrac{h}{2\pi}}(v_{0}-E)}$

Put the value into the formula

$\beta = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}}{(1.055\times10^{-34})^2}(5.0-2)\times1.6\times10^{-19}}$

$\beta=8.86\times10^{9}$

(a). We need to calculate the tunnel probability for width 0.5 nm

Using formula of tunnel barrier

$T=\dfrac{16E(V_{0}-E)}{V_{0}^2}e^{-2\beta a}$

Put the value into the formula

$T=\dfrac{16\times 2(5.0-2.0)}{5.0^2}e^{-2\times8.86\times10^{9}\times0.5\times10^{-9}}$

$T=5.45\times10^{-4}$

(b). We need to calculate the tunnel probability for width 1.00 nm

$T=\dfrac{16\times 2(5.0-2.0)}{5.0^2}e^{-2\times8.86\times10^{9}\times1.00\times10^{-9}}$

$T=7.74\times10^{-8}$

Hence, The tunnel probability for 0.5 nm and 1.00 nm are $5.45\times10^{-4}$ and $7.74\times10^{-8}$ respectively.

Let surface S be the boundary of the solid object enclosed by x^2+z^2=4, x+y=6, x=0, y=0, and z=0. and, let f(x,y,z)=(3x)i+(x+y+

babunello [35]

a. I've attached a plot of the surface. Each face is parameterized by

• $\mathbf s_1(x,y)=x\,\mathbf i+y\,\mathbf j$ with $0\le x\le2$ and $0\le y\le6-x$ ;

• $\mathbf s_2(u,v)=u\cos v\,\mathbf i+u\sin v\,\mathbf k$ with $0\le u\le2$ and $0\le v\le\frac\pi2$ ;

• $\mathbf s_3(y,z)=y\,\mathbf j+z\,\mathbf k$ with $0\le y\le 6$ and $0\le z\le2$ ;

• $\mathbf s_4(u,v)=u\cos v\,\mathbf i+(6-u\cos v)\,\mathbf j+u\sin v\,\mathbf k$ with $0\le u\le2$ and $0\le v\le\frac\pi2$ ; and

• $\mathbf s_5(u,y)=2\cos u\,\mathbf i+y\,\mathbf j+2\sin u\,\mathbf k$ with $0\le u\le\frac\pi2$ and $0\le y\le6-2\cos u$ .

b. Assuming you want outward flux, first compute the outward-facing normal vectors for each face.

$\mathbf n_1=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_1}{\partial y}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_1}{\partial x}=-\mathbf k$

$\mathbf n_2=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_2}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_2}{\partial v}=-u\,\mathbf j$

$\mathbf n_3=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_3}{\partial z}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_3}{\partial y}=-\mathbf i$

$\mathbf n_4=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_4}{\partial v}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_4}{\partial u}=u\,\mathbf i+u\,\mathbf j$

$\mathbf n_5=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_5}{\partial y}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_5}{\partial u}=2\cos u\,\mathbf i+2\sin u\,\mathbf k$

Then integrate the dot product of <em>f</em> with each normal vector over the corresponding face.

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_1}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^{6-x}f(x,y,0)\cdot\mathbf n_1\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{6-x}0\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx=0$

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_2}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\mathbf f(u\cos v,0,u\sin v)\cdot\mathbf n_2\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du$

$\displaystyle=\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}-u^2(2\sin v+\cos v)\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du=-8$

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_3}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^6\mathbf f(0,y,z)\cdot\mathbf n_3\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^60\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz=0$

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_4}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\mathbf f(u\cos v,6-u\cos v,u\sin v)\cdot\mathbf n_4\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}-u^2(2\sin v+\cos v)\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du=\frac{40}3+6\pi$

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_5}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\int_0^{6-2\cos u}\mathbf f(2\cos u,y,2\sin u)\cdot\mathbf n_5\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm du$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\int_0^{6-2\cos u}12\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm du=36\pi-24$

c. You can get the total flux by summing all the fluxes found in part b; you end up with 42π - 56/3.

Alternatively, since <em>S</em> is closed, we can find the total flux by applying the divergence theorem.

$\displaystyle\iint_S\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\iiint_R\mathrm{div}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dV$

where <em>R</em> is the interior of <em>S</em>. We have

$\mathrm{div}\mathbf f(x,y,z)=\dfrac{\partial(3x)}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial(x+y+2z)}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial(3z)}{\partial z}=7$

The integral is easily computed in cylindrical coordinates:

$\begin{cases}x(r,t)=r\cos t\\y(r,t)=6-r\cos t\\z(r,t)=r\sin t\end{cases},0\le r\le 2,0\le t\le\dfrac\pi2$

$\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\int_0^{6-r\cos t}7r\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dt\,\mathrm dr=42\pi-\frac{56}3$

as expected.

A 4-lb ball b is traveling around in a circle of radius r1 = 3 ft with a speed (vb)1 = 6 ft>s. if the attached cord is pulled

Leya [2.2K]

Position #1:
radius, r₁ = 3 ft
Tangential speed, v₁ = 6 ft/s

By definition, the angular speed is
ω₁ = v₁/r₁ = (3 ft/s) / (3 ft) = 1 rad/s

Position #2:
Radius, r₂ = 2 ft

By definition, the moment of inertia in positions 1 and 2 are respectively
I₁ = (4 lb)*(3 ft)² = 36 lb-ft²
I₂ = (4 lb)*(2 ft)² = 16 lb-ft²

Because momentum is conserved,
I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂
Therefore the angular velocity in position 2 is
ω₂ = (I₁/I₂)ω₁
= (36/16)*1 = 2.25 rad/s
The tangential velocity in position 2 is
v₂ = r₂ω₂ = (2 ft)*(225 rad/s) = 4.5 ft/s

At each position, there is an outward centripetal force.
In position 1, the centripetal force is
F₁ = m*(v²/r₂) = (4)*(6²/3) = 48 lbf
In position 2, the centripetal force is
F₂ = (4)*(4.5²/2) = 40.5 lbf

The radius diminishes at a rate of 2 ft/s.
Therefore the force versus distance curve is as shown below.

The work done is the area under the curve, and it is
W = (1/2)*(48.0+40.5 ft)*(3-2 ft) = 44.25 ft-lb

Answer: 44.25 ft-lb

A point charge q1q1 is held stationary at the origin. A second charge q2q2 is placed at point aa, and the electric potential ene

Yuri [45]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$U_{a} = 5.4 \times 10^{-8} J$

$W_{/text{a to b}} = -1.9 \times 10^{-8} J$

Electric potential energy ( $U_{b}$ ) = ?

Formula to calculate electric potential energy is as follows.

$U_{b} = U_{a} - W_{/text{a to b}}$

= $5.4 \times 10^{-8} J - (-1.9 \times 10^{-8} J)$

= $7.3 \times 10^{-8} J$

Thus, we can conclude that the electric potential energy of the pair of charges when the second charge is at point b is $7.3 \times 10^{-8} J$ .
