Very thin films are usually deposited under vacuum conditions to prevent contamination and ensure that atoms can fly directly fr

om the source to the depositing surface without being scattered along the way.
a. To get an idea of how few and far between the air molecules are in a thin-film deposition chamber, determine the mean free path of a generic "air" molecule with an effective diameter of 0.25 nm at a pressure of 1.5 x 10-6 Pa and temperature of 300 K.


b. If the chamber is spherical with a diameter of 10 cm, estimate how many times a given molecule will collide with the chamber before colliding with another air molecule.


c. How many air molecules are in the chamber (treating "air" as an ideal gas)?

Answer:

a. 9947 m

b. 99476 times

c. 2*10^11 molecules

Explanation:

a) To find the mean free path of the air molecules you use the following formula:

\lambda=\frac{RT}{\sqrt{2}\pi d^2N_AP}

R: ideal gas constant = 8.3144 Pam^3/mol K

P: pressure = 1.5*10^{-6} Pa

T: temperature = 300K

N_A: Avogadros' constant = 2.022*10^{23}molecules/mol

d: diameter of the particle = 0.25nm=0.25*10^-9m

By replacing all these values you obtain:

\lambda=\frac{(8.3144 Pa m^3/mol K)(300K)}{\sqrt{2}\pi (0.25*10^{-9}m)^2(6.02*10^{23})(1.5*10^{-6}Pa)}=9947.62m

b) If we assume that the molecule, at the average, is at the center of the chamber, the times the molecule will collide is:

n_{collision}=\frac{9947.62m}{0.05m}\approx198952\  times

c) By using the equation of the ideal gases you obtain:

PV=NRT\\\\N=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{(1.5*10^{-6}Pa)(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.05m)^3)}{(8.3144Pa\ m^3/mol\ K)(300K)}=3.14*10^{-13}mol\\\\n=(3.14*10^{-13})(6.02*10^{23})\ molecules\approx2*10^{11}\ molecules

What i s the value of a capacitor with 250 V applied and has 500 pC of charge? (a) 200 uF (b) 0.5 pF (c) 500 uF (d) 2 pF
exis [7]

Answer:

(d) 2 pF

Explanation: the charge on capacitor is given by the expression

Q=CV

where Q=charge

           C=capacitance

           V=voltage across the plate of the capacitor

here we have given Q=500 pF, V=250 volt

using this formula C=\frac{Q}{V}

=500×10^{-12}×\frac{1}{250}

=2×10^{-12}

=2 pF

If a worksite includes more than one set of management and workers, who should have access to the information, training, and con
Elden [556K]

Answer:

In a work site with more than one set of management and workers the Health and  safety officers in each set  should have access to the information, training and controls needed to avoid workplace accidents

Explanation:

The primary aim of a health and  safety officer in a workplace is to prevent accidents,injuries and work-related sickness from occurring in the work site by creating and implementing health and safety policies according to international standards and also ensure that these policies are implemented  by the sets of management and workers/staffs of the work site.  to achieve these they therefore should have access to the information,training and controls needed to avoid workplace accidents

A NC drill press is to perform a series of through-hole drilling operations on a 1.75 in thick aluminum plate that is a componen
jekas [21]

Answer:

26.7 min

Explanation:

First, we will find the <u>time required to drill each hole</u>:

  • N = 300 x 12/0.75 \pi = 1527.7 rev/min
  • fr = 1527.7 (0.015) = 22.916 in/min

Formula for <u>distance per hole</u>: 0.5 + A + 1.75

  • A = 0.5 (0.75) tan (90-100 / 2) = 0.315 in
  • Tm = (0.5 + 0.315 + 1.75) / 22.916 = 0.112 min

Now, we will calculate the <u>time required to draw back the drill form hole</u>:

              = 0.112 / 2 = 0.056 min

Time to move between holes = 1.5 / 15 = 0.1 min

For 100 holes, the number of moves between holes = 99

Total time required to drill 100 holes (t):

                       t = 100 (0.112 + 0.056) + 99 (0.1) = 26.7 min
