Answer:

82.8986 km

Explanation:

Given:

Pressure = 7.00×10⁻¹³ atm

Since , 1 atm = 101325 Pa

So, Pressure = 7.00×10⁻¹³×101325 Pa = 7.09275×10⁻⁸ Pa

Radius = 2.00×10⁻¹⁰ m

Diameter = 4.00×10⁻¹⁰ m (2× Radius)

Temperature = 303 K

The expression for mean free path is:

\lambda (Mean\ free\ path)=\frac {K (Boltzmann\ Constant)\times Temperature}{\sqrt {2}\times \pi\times (Diameter)^2\times Pressure}

Boltzmann Constant = 1.38×10⁻²³ J/K

So,

\lambda (Mean\ free\ path)=\frac {1.38\times 10^{-23}\times 303}{\sqrt {2}\times \frac {22}{7}\times (4.00\times 10^{-10})^2\times 7.09275\times 10^{-8}}

<u>Mean free path = 82.8986×10³ m = 82.8986 km</u>

What is the formula for lithium and chlorine?
siniylev [52]
LiCl, because lithium (Li) has one positively charged ion (1+), and
chloride (Cl) has one negatively charged ion (1-), so they
cancel each other out.

Answer:

a).11.546J

b).2.957kW

Explanation:

Using Inertia and tangential velocity

a).

w=2250*2\pi *\frac{1}{60}\\ w=235.61

I=\frac{1}{2}*m*((\frac{d_{i} }{2})^{2} +(\frac{d_{e} }{2})^{2})\\m=100g *\frac{ikg}{1000g}=0.1kg\\ d_{i}=3cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.03m \\ d_{e}=18cm*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.18m\\I=\frac{1}{2}*0.1kg*((\frac{0.03m}{2})^{2} +(\frac{0.18m}{2})^{2})\\I=0.41625x10^{-3}kg*m^{2}

Now using Inertia an w

E=\frac{1}{2}*I*(w)^{2} \\ E=\frac{1}{2}*0.416x10^{-3}*(235.61)^{2} \\E=11.54J

average power=\frac{11.4J}{0.230s}=50.2 W

b).

power=t*w

P=11.5465*0.25*235.61

P=2.957 kW

What is the relationship between the current passes through the
yaroslaw [1]
Increasing the number of bulbs in a series circuit decreases the brightness of the bulbs. In a series circuit, the voltage is equally distributed among all of the bulbs. Bulbs in parallel are brighter than bulbs in series. In a parallel circuit the voltage for each bulb is the same as the voltage in the circuit.
