Why does the quantum mechanical description of many-electron atoms make it difficult to define a precise atomic radius?

Physics
1 answer:
Eddi Din [679]3 years ago
4 0
<span>Atoms and ions, at least within the quantum mechanical model do not have boundaries that are sharply defined at which the electron distribution becomes zero. When this occurs it can be very difficult to measure an atomic radius. The distance between the electrons in quantum mechanics is not set and would be problematic in determining the precise radius.</span>

A factory worker pushes a 30.0-kg crate a distance of 4.5 m along a level floor at constant velocity by pushing horizontally on
Olin [163]
The crate moves at constant velocity, this means that its acceleration is zero, so the net force acting on the crate is zero (Newton's second law). 

There are only two forces acting on the crate: the force F applied by the worker and the frictional force, acting in the opposite direction: \mu m g, where \mu=0.25 is the coefficient of friction and m=30.0 kg is the mass of the crate. Since the net force should be equal to zero, the two forces must have same magnitude, so we have:
F=\mu m g=(0.25)(30.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=73.8 N
And so, this is the force that the worker must apply to the crate.

Potential energy is the energy an object has because of its __________.
jasenka [17]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:                                    

The correct answer is option D  

Potential energy of an object is because of its location.

 Expression of potential energy      

     P E = m g H                                  

where H is the height of the object.            

           g is acceleration due to gravity, 9.8 m/s²

           m  is the mass of the object.          

Potential energy is directly proportional to the location of the object.    

If the height of the object is more than the potential energy of the object will also increase.
