A diffusion couple, made by welding a thin onecentimeter square slab of pure metal A to a similar slab of pure metal B, was give

n a diffusion anneal at an elevated temperature and then cooled to room temperature. On chemically analyzing successive layers of the specimen, cut parallel to the weld interface, it was observed that, at one position, over a distance of 5000 nm, the atom fraction of metal A, NA, changed from 0.30 to 0.35. Assume that the number of atoms per m3 of both pure metals is 9 x 10^28. First determine the concentration gradient dnA/dx. Then if the diffusion coefficient, at the point in question and annealing temperature, was 2 10^-14 m^2/s.
Required:
Determine the number of A atoms per second that would pass through this cross-section at the annealing temperature.

Answer:

The value is $H = 18*10^{2} \ Atom / sec$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The atom fraction of metal A at point G is $A = 0.30 \ m$

The atom fraction of metal A at a distance 5000nm from G is $A_2 = 0.35$

The number of atoms per $m^3$ is $N_h = 9 * 10^{28}$

The diffusion coefficient is $D = 2* 10^{-14 } m^2/s$

Generally of the concentration of atoms of metal A at G is

$N_A = A * N_h$

=> $N_A = 0.3 * 9 * 10^{28}$

=> $N_A = 2.7 * 10^{28} 2.7 atoms/m^3$

Generally of the concentration of atoms of metal A at a distance 5000nm from G is

$D = 0.35 *9 * 10^{28}$

=> $D = 3.15 * 10^{28} \ atoms / m^3$

The concentration gradient is mathematically represented as

$\frac{dN_A}{dx} = \frac{(3.15 - 2.7) * 10^{28} }{5000nm - 0 }$

=> $\frac{dN_A}{dx} = \frac{(3.15 - 2.7) * 10^{28} }{[5000 *10^{-9}] - 0 }$

=> $\frac{dN_A}{dx} = 9 * 10^{20} / m^4$

Generally the flux of the atoms per unit area according to Fick's Law is mathematically represented as

$J = -D* \frac{d N_A}{dx}$

=> $J = -2* 10^{-14 * 9 * 10^{20}$

=> $J = 18*10^{6}\ atoms\ crossing\ /m^2 s$

Generally if the cross-section area is $a = 1 cm^2 = 10^{-4} \ m^2$

Generally the number of atom crossing the above area per second is mathematically is

$H = 18*10^{6} * 10^{-4}$

=> $H = 18*10^{2} \ Atom / sec$

A flask containing argon gas is connected to an closed-ended mercury manometer. The closed end is under vacuum. If the mercury l

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

230 torr

Explanation:

Given that

P = 230 mm of Hg

If argon gas and mercury is in equilibrium position then the pressure on the both side will be same .

As we know that

1 torr = 1 mm of Hg

So the pressure of the argon will be 230 torr .

Unit conversion

1 torr = 1 mm of Hg

1 bar = 100 KPa = 10⁵ Pa = 10⁵ N/m² = 0.1 MPa = 0.1 x 10⁶ Pa

An object with a mass of 0. 25 kg is undergoing simple harmonic motion at the end of a vertical spring with a spring constant, k

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

1) The amplitude of the motion is approximately 0.274 meters.

2) The total energy of the object at any point of its motion is 16.892 joules.

Explanation:

1) An object under simple harmonic motion is conservative, since there is no dissipative forces acting during motion (i.e. friction, air viscosity). The amplitude of the motion can be found easily by Principle of Energy Conservation by the fact that maximum elastic potential energy ( $U_{e}$ ), in joules, is equal to maximum translational kinetic energy ( $K$ ), in joules:

$U_{e} = K$

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot A^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$k$ - Spring constant, in newtons per meter.

$A$ - Amplitude, in meters.

$m$ - Object mass, in kilograms.

$v$ - Speed of the object at equilibrium, in meters per second.

If we know that $k = 450\,\frac{N}{m}$ , $m = 0.25\,kg$ and $v = 0.3\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the amplitude of the motion is:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot A^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}$

$k\cdot A^{2} = m\cdot v^{2}$

$A = v\cdot \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

$A = \left(0.3\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sqrt{\frac{0.25\,kg}{0.3\,\frac{m}{s} } }$

$A \approx 0.274\,m$

The amplitude of the motion is approximately 0.274 meters.

2) The total energy of the object ( $E$ ), in joules, is found either by maximum elastic potential energy or by maximum translational kinetic energy, that is: ( $k = 450\,\frac{N}{m}$ , $A \approx 0.274\,m$ )

$E = U_{e}$

$E = \frac{1}{2}\cdot k\cdot A^{2}$

$E = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(450\,\frac{N}{m} \right) \cdot (0.274\,m)^{2}$

$E = 16.892\,J$

The total energy of the object at any point of its motion is 16.892 joules.

A policeman, parked at arn intersection, is passed by a speeder traveling at 120 km/hr. Two seconds later, the policeman starts

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

682.32 m

Explanation:

Speed of the passing speeder = 120 km/hr = 120 × 0.2777 = 33.33 m/s

time after which police man starts = 2 seconds

Acceleration of the policeman = 4.0 m/s²

let the time taken to catch be 't' seconds

Now,

The total distance to be covered by the policeman

= Distance covered by the speeder in the 2 seconds + Distance further traveled by the speeder in time t

thus,

From Newton's equation of motion

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where,

s is the total distance traveled by the police man

u is the initial speed = 0

a is the acceleration

t is the time

thus,

$0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times4t^2$ = 33.33 × 2 + 33.33 × t

or

2t² = 66.66 + 33.33t

or

2t² - 33.33t - 66.66 = 0

on solving the above equation, we get

t = 18.47 seconds (negative value is ignored as time cannot be negative)

therefore,

the total distance covered = 33.33 × 2 + 33.33 × 18.47 = 682.32 m
