Calculate the unit cell edge length for an 79 wt% Ag- 21 wt% Pd alloy. All of the palladium is in solid solution, and the crysta

l structure for this alloy is FCC. Room temperature densities for Ag and Pd are 10.49 g/cm3 and 12.02 g/cm3, respectively, and their respective atomic weights are 107.87 g/mol and 106.4 g/mol. Report your answer in nanometers.

Answer:

The edge length is 0.4036 nm

Solution:

As per the question:

Density of Ag, \rho = 10.49 g/cm^{3}

Density of Pd, \rho = 12.02 g/cm^{3}

Atomic weight of Ag, A = 107.87 g/mol

Atomic weight of Pd, A' = 106.4 g/mol

Now,

The average density, \rho_{a} = \frac{n A_{avg}} {V_{c}\times N_{A}}

where

V_{c} = a^{3}  = Volume of crystal lattice

a = edge length

n = 4 = no. of atoms in FCC

Therefore,

\rho_{a} = = \frac{n A_{avg}} {V_{c}\times N_{A}}

Therefore, the length of the unit cell is given as:

a = (\frac{nA_{avg}}{\rho_{a}\times N_{a}})^{1/3}            (1)

Average atomic weight is given as:

A_{avg} = \frac{100}{\frac{C_{Ag}}{A_{Ag}} + \frac{C_{Pd}}{A_{Pd}}}

where

C_{Ag} = 79 %

A_{Ag} = 107

C_{Pd} = 21%

A_{Pd} = 106

Therefore,

A_{avg} = \frac{100}{\frac{79}{107} + \frac{21}{106}} = 106.78

In the similar way, average density is given as:

\rho_{a} = \frac{100}{\frac{C_{Ag}}{\rho_{Ag}} + \frac{C_{Pd}}{\rho_{Pd}}}

\rho_{a} = \frac{100}{\frac{79}{10.49} + \frac{21}{12.02}} = 10.78 g/cm^{3}

Therefore, edge length is given by eqn (1) as:

a = (\frac{4\times 106.78}{10.78\times 6.023 X 10^23})^{1/3} = 4.036\times 10^{- 8} cm = 0.4036\times 10^{- 9} m = 0.4036 nm

notsponge [240]

Answer:

λ =8.57 μ m

Explanation:

Given that

Ey = 375 cos [kx − (2.20 × 10¹⁴ rad/s)t] N/C

Standard form  

Ey=Eo cos[k x-ωt]  N/C

By comparing the given equation with the standard wave equation

Eo = 375 N/C

ω  = 2.20 × 10¹⁴ rad/s

We know that ω = 2 π f

f=\dfrac{\omega}{2\pi }

f=\dfrac{2.2\times 10^{14}}{2\pi }\ Hz

f=3.50×10¹³ Hz

We know that the velocity given as

V = f λ

λ =Wavelength

V=Speed = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

\lambda =\dfrac{V}{f }

\lambda =\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{3.5\times 10^{13}}\ m

λ =0.00000857 m              ( 1 μ m = 10⁶ m)

λ =8.57 μ m

A heavy object and a light object are dropped from the same height. If we neglect air resistance, which will hit the ground firs
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

None, both objects will hit ground at the same time.

Explanation:

  • Assuming no air resistance present, and that both objects start from rest, we can apply the following kinematic equation for the vertical displacement:

        \Delta h = \frac{1}{2}*g*t^{2}  (1)

  • As the left side in (1) is the same for both objects, the right side will be the same also.
  • Since g is constant close to the surface of the Earth, it's also the same for both objects.
  • So, the time t must be the same for both objects also.

What is units and dimensions? what are dimensions less quantities?​
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

A dimension is a measure of a physical variable.

Unit is a way to assign a number or measurement to that dimension.

In dimensional analysis, a dimensionless quantity is a quantity to which no physical dimension is assigned, also known as a bare, pure, or scalar quantity or a quantity of dimension one, with a corresponding unit of measurement is the SI of the unit one, which is not explicity shown.

Paul and Ivan are riding a tandem bike together. They’re moving at a speed of 5 meters/second. Paul and Ivan each have a mass of
Sonbull [250]
The formula is Ke = 1/2 m v^2
The two of them together have a Ke of mv^2. So you either increase m or v. That's what makes the problem difficult. He can do D or B. We have to choose.

A is no solution. The Ke goes down because Paul loses Ivan's mass.
C is out of the question 3 meters/sec is a big reduction from 5 m/s. So now what do we do about B and D?

The question is what does the third person add. The tandoms I've peddled only allow for 1 or 2 people to add to the motion. So the third person only adds mass. He does not have a v that he is contributing to. To say that he is going 5m/s is true, but he's not contributing anything to that motion.

I pick B, but it is one of those questions that the correctness of it is in the head of the proposer. Be prepared to get it wrong. Argue the point politely if you agree with me, but back off as soon as you have presented your case.

B <<<<====== answer.
