Using arrangement (a), how many rb atoms could be placed on a square surface that is 9.5 cm on a side? the diameter of a rubidiu

m atom is 4.95å. we will consider two different ways of placing the atoms on a surface. in arrangement (a), all the atoms are lined up with one another. arrangement (b) is called a close-packed arrangement because the atoms sit in the "depressions" formed by the previous row of atoms:

Part a

Answer: 3.64\times10^{16}

For the arrangement considered in part a, all the atoms are aligned side by side along the side of the square surface.

Along one side of the square, the number of atoms that could fit =\frac {length\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}side}{diameter\hspace{1mm}of\hspace{1mm}atom}=\frac{9.5\times10^{-2}m}{4.95\times10^{-10}m}=1.91\times10^8 atoms

This is along one side. On the entire surface:

Number of atoms = (1.91\times10^8 )^2=3.64\times10^{16} atoms

Part b

Answer: 4.23\times10^{16}

consider the attached figure below:

The next layer of atoms are filled in the depressions of the first layer. The vertical distance between the two atoms would change. Consider an equilateral triangle drawn by joining the centers of the three atoms.

The atoms along the horizontal side would be aligned side by side; same as above =1.91\times10^8 atoms

The number of atoms along vertical side would vary. vertical distance between two atoms can be calculate using equilateral triangle as shown below.

an equilateral triangle has all the angles = 60^o

Let the vertical distance be y.

Then, y = 2r sin60^o

where r is the radius of each atom. 2r= 4.95\times10^{-10} m

y=4.95\times10^{-10} m\times sin60^o=4.28\times10^{-10} m

The number of atoms along the vertical side = \frac{9.5\times10^{-2}m}{4.28\times10^{-10}m}=2.21\times10^8 atoms

Total number of atoms in this kind of arrangement = 1.91\times10^8\times2.21\times10^8=4.23\times10^{16} atoms

If the AMA of the inclined plane below is 2, calculate the IMA and efficiency. IMA = Efficiency =
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

IMA = 2.5 metres

EFFICIENCY = 80%

Explanation:

The AMA of a machine is referred to as the Actual Mechanical Advantage of a machine, calculated as the ratio of the output to the input force.

The Ideal Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the input distance to the output distance.

From the diagram, the input distance which is also the distance moved by effort  = 5metres

The load distance (output distance) = 2 metres

IMA = INPUT DISTANCE / OUTPUT DISTANCE

IMA = 5metres / 2 metres = 2.5 meters

Efficiency is the ratio of AMA TO IMA

AMA = 2, IMA = 2.5

EFFICIENCY = AMA / IMA

EFFICIENCY = (2 / 2.5) × 100%= 0.8 × 100%

EFFICIENCY = 80%

. Why are scientific models important? They help scientists prove scientific theories. They help scientists explain complex ques
sdas [7]
The best answer would be the 4th choice. "They help scientists explain concepts that are difficult to observe, this also covers the first answer which helps the scientist to answer complex questions. A scientific model is not used prove scientific laws as they may not always have all the data to prove so, instead it is used to allow them to explain better concepts revolving around science through research and may also allow them to predict results based on the accumulation of data and analyzing the trend of this resulting information.

In an extrasolar planetary system containing a single planet, the parent star is measured to move about its center of mass every
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Orbital Time Period is 24 years

Explanation:

This can be explained by the definition of time period.

Time period can be defined as the time taken by an object to complete one cycle, here, time taken to complete one revolution.

Also, we know that an extra solar planet which is also called as an exo planet is that planet which is outside our solar system and orbits any star other than our sun. The system in consideration is extra solar system with a single planet.

Therefore, the time taken by the parent star to move about its mass center is the orbital time period that is 24 years.

A rope exerts a 280 N force while pulling an 80 Kg skier upward along a hill inclined at 12o. The rope pulls parallel to the hil
user100 [1]

Answer:

The speed of the skier after moving 100 m up the slope are of V= 25.23 m/s.

Explanation:

F= 280 N

m= 80 kg

α= 12º

μ= 0.15

d= 100m

g= 9,8 m/s²

N= m*g*sin(α)

N= 163 Newtons

Fr= μ * N

Fr= 24.45 Newtons

∑F= m*a

a= (280N - 24.5N) / 80kg

a= 3.19 m/s²

d= a * t² / 2

t=√(2*d/a)

t= 7.91 sec

V= a* t

V= 3.19 m/s² * 7.91 s

V= 25.23 m/s
