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

1 answer:

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 transformer consists of a 500 turn primary coil and a 2000-turnsecondary coil. If the current in the secondary is 3.0A, what i

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The correct solution will be "12.0 A".

Explanation:

The given values are:

$N_p= 500 \ turn$

$N_s= 200 \ turn$

$I_s= 3.0 \ A$

By using the transformer formula, we get

⇒ $\frac{N_p}{N_s} =\frac{I_s}{I_p}$

⇒ $I_p = I_s\times \frac{N_s}{N_p}$

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒ $=3.0 \ A\times \frac{2000}{500}$

⇒ $=12.0 \ A$

The force of gravity on a 1 kg object on the Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 N. For the same object in low-earth orbit arou

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

g = 8.61 m/s²

Explanation:

distance of the International Space Station form earth is 200 Km

mass of the object = 1 Kg

acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s²

mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

acceleration due to gravity = ?

r = 6400 + 200 = 6800 Km = 6.8 x 10⁶ n

using formula

$g = \dfrac{GM}{r^2}$

$g = \dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^24}{(6.8\times 10^6)^2}$

g = 8.61 m/s²

How much force is needed to stop a 90-kg soccer player if he decelerates at 15 m/s^2?

svet-max [94.6K]

We have: F = m×a
Here, m = 90 Kg
a = 15 m/s²

Substitute their values into the expression:
F = 90 × 15
F = 1350 N

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!

A certain parallel-plate capacitor is filled with a dielectric for which Κ = 5.5 .The area of each plate is 0.034 m2 , and the p

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The maximum energy that can be stored in the capacitor is 6.62 x 10⁻⁵ J

Explanation:

Given that,

dielectric constant k = 5.5

the area of each plate, A = 0.034 m²

separating distance, d = 2.0 mm = 2 x 10⁻³ m

magnitude of the electric field = 200 kN/C

Capacitance of the capacitor is calculated as follows;

$C = \frac{k \epsilon A}{d} = \frac{5.5*8.85*10^{-12}*0.034}{2*10^{-3}} = 8.275 *10^{-10} \ F$

Maximum potential difference:

V = E x d

V = 200000 x 2 x 10⁻³ = 400 V

Maximum energy that can be stored in the capacitor:

E = ¹/₂CV²

E = ¹/₂ x 8.275 x 10⁻¹⁰ x (400)²

E = 6.62 x 10⁻⁵ J

Therefore, the maximum energy that can be stored in the capacitor is 6.62 x 10⁻⁵ J
