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

Positive Work.

Negative Work.

Case of zero work done.

Displacement at an angle to the force.

Energy.

Kinetic Energy.

work is the energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement. In its simplest form, it is often represented as the product of force and displacement.

How does gravity keep the moon in orbit around earth
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The moon's orbit draws the oceans to it, which triggers ocean tides. Force produces stars and planets by gathering the mass from which it exists.

What is the relationship between temperature and height in the troposphere ,stratosphere,mesophere,thermosphere,exosphere
Soloha48 [4]

In general the higher we go the cooler it becomes . temperature fall continues within the lowermost layer of our atmosphere, known as the troposphere. Above the troposphere, the stratosphere exists and in this region the temperature increases with an increase in altitude. The mesosphere is the part of the atmosphere that lies above the stratosphere. In this region, the temperature falls with an increase in altitude. And finally as we continue rising up, we reach the thermosphere, where the temperature increases with increased altitude.
