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>

SOH-CAH-TOA is used to solve for the ________
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

c. initial (x and y)

Explanation:

When a projectile is launched at a velocity with a launch angle, to solve it, we must first resolve the initial velocity into the x and y components. To do this will mean we have to treat it like a triangle due to the launch angle and the direction of the projectile.

Therefore, we will have to make use of trigonometric ratios which is also known by the mnemonic "SOH CAH TOA"

Thus, this method resolves the initial x and y velocities.

Which of the following statements describes a battery?
LiRa [457]

Answer:

The negative electrode of a battery has an excess of positive charge

Explanation:

This is because in every battery, there is a negative electrode ( cathode ) and only positive charge is deposited on it.

For other statements:

Batteries donot store electric charge but they store chemical energy

Some batteries donot use metals for the flow of electrons, but some use hydrogen gas at a pressure of 1 atmosphere.
