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>

Advocard [28]

The resultant in the x-direction:

Rx = F1 + F2 = 2.5 N - 1 N =  1.5 N .


The resultant in the y-direction:

Ry = F3 + F4 = 2 N - 3 N =  -1 N.

When a light ray passes from LESS dense water (n = 1.33) into a MORE dense diamond (n = 2.419) at an angle of 45 degrees, its pa
Ivenika [448]

Towards

<u>Explanation:</u>

When light is incident at a transparent surface, the transmitted component of the light changes direction at the interface. Another component of the light is reflected at the surface. When a ray of light passes from water to diamond at an angle 45°, its path is bent towards the normal. This is so because water is less dense than the diamond. The refractive index of water (n = 1.33) is less than the refractive index of diamond (n = 2.419).

A 5.45-g combustible sample is burned in a calorimeter. the heat generated changes the temperature of 555 g of water from 20.5°c
Y_Kistochka [10]
Given:
m = 555 g, the mass of water in the calorimeter
ΔT = 39.5 - 20.5 = 19 °C, temperature change
c = 4.18 J/(°C-g), specific heat of  water

Assume that all generated heat goes into heating the water.
Then the energy released is
Q = mcΔT
    = (555 g)*(4.18 J/(°C-g)*(19 °C)
    = 44,078.1 J
    = 44,100 J (approximately)

Answer:  44,100 J

A student has a rectangular block. It is 2 cm wide, 2 cm tall, and 25 cm long. It has a mass of 600 g. First, calculate the volu
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

6g/cm³

Explanation:

Density is the mass per unit volume of any substance. To solve this problem:

   

   Density  = \frac{mass}{volume}  

 Since mass = 600g

Let us find the volume;

    Volume  = length x width x height

   Volume  = 25cm x 2cm x 2cm  = 100cm³  

Therefore;

         Density  = \frac{600}{100}    = 6g/cm³
