Why are two balls connected by a spring a good model for two atoms connected by a chemical bond? (a) If the two atoms get farther apart than the equilibrium interatomic distance, they attract each other. (b) Each spring represents a real microscopic coiled metal wire that connects two adjacent atoms. If the two atoms get closer together than the equilibrium interatomic distance, they repel each other. (c) The magnitude of the force one atom exerts on another is proportional to the stretch or compression of the bond between them

Answer:

all the three options are correct

Explanation:

if the two atoms get closer together than the equilibrium inter atomic distance, they repel each other.

If the two atoms get farther apart than the equilibrium inter atomic distance, they attract each other.

The magnitude of the force one atom exerts on another is proportional to the stretch or compression of the bond between them

E 3.6 What force is needed to give a mass of 20 kg an acceleration of 5 m/s??

luda_lava [24]

Explanation:

Mass(m)= 20kg
Acceleration (a)= 5m/s²
Force(F)= ?

We know that,

F=ma
F=20×5
F=100N

Hence, the needed force is 100N.

Two loudspeakers in a 20c room emit 686 hz sound waves along the x-axis.a. if the speakers are in phase, what is the smallest di

jeyben [28]

Answer :

(a) d = 0.25 m

(b) d = 0.5 m

Explanation :

It is given that,

Frequency of sound waves, f = 686 Hz

Speed of sound wave at $20^0\ C$ is, v = 343 m/s

(1) Perfectly destructive interference occurs when the path difference is half integral multiple of wavelength i.e.

$d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}$ ........(1)

Velocity of sound wave is given by :

$v=f\times \lambda$

$d=\dfrac{v}{2f}$

$d=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{2\times 686\ Hz}$

$d=0.25\ m$

Hence, when the speakers are in phase the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is perfectly destructive is 0.25 m.

(2) For constructive interference, the path difference is integral multiple of wavelengths i.e.

$d=n\lambda$ ( n = integers )

Let n = 1

So, $d=\dfrac{v}{f}$

$d=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{686\ Hz}$

$d=0.5\ m$

Hence, the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is maximum constructive is 0.5 m.
