Why must indirect evidence be used to study the structure of atoms?

Indirect evidence must be used to study the structure of atoms, because the direct evidence affects the position and energy of the particles of the atomic structure.

For example, imagine you use a light ray to find the location of an electron in an atomic structure, the current location of the electron you are now seeing is as a result of the light ray, and the electron has changed it's initial position to a new position as a result of the effect of the light ray.

So indirect means would probably give more accurate answers about the atomic structure than that of the direct means.

An example of the indirect means would be for example setting up a mathematical equation or model of the atomic structure and trying to provide solution for the model or equation.

Air expands adiabatically in a piston–cylinder assembly from an initial state where p1 = 100 lbf/in.2, v1 = 3.704 ft3/lb, and T1

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Final temperature is equal to 1291.63°R

Explanation:

given,

p₁ = 100 lb f/in², v₁ = 3.704 ft³/lb, and T₁ = 1000 °R

p₂ = 30 lb f/in² n = 1.4

Δ u = 0.171(T₂ - T₁)

we know for poly tropic process

p vⁿ = constant

p₁ v₁ⁿ = p₂ v₂ⁿ

100 × 3.704¹°⁴ = 30 × v₂¹°⁴

v₂ = 8.753 ft³/lb

work done for poly tropic process

W = $\dfrac{p_1v_1-p_2v_2}{n-1}$

= $\dfrac{100\times 3.704-30\times 8.753}{1.4-1}$

= 269.525 lbf/in².ft³

W = $\dfrac{269.525}{5.40395}$ Btu/lb

= 49.87 Btu/lb

in the piston cylinder arrangement air is expanding acrobatically

Δ q = Δu + w

Δ u = - w

0.171(T₂ - T₁) = -49.87

0.171(T₁ - T₂) = -49.87

0.171 T₂ = 0.171 × 1000 + 49.87

T₂ = 1291.63 °R

Final temperature is equal to 1291.63°R

A train takes ms eaddy 200 miles north and 150 miles south. The total trip took 3.5 hours what was the average velocity of the t

Verizon [17]

The whole point of this problem is to check how well you understand
the definitions of a few important quantities, like velocity, speed, distance,
displacement etc.

Before we begin, I just want to mention that 'MPG' is not a unit of either
velocity or speed, but I think I know what you mean.

-- For some reason, Ms. Eaddy rode 100 miles north on the train, then
stayed aboard while the train turned around and took her 150 miles south.
The total distance she rode was (100 + 150) = 250 miles. But she ended up
50 miles south of where she began.

-- Displacement for the whole trip = distance and direction from the start point
to the finish point.

Displacement = 50 miles south

-- Average velocity = (displacement) / (time)

50 miles south / 3.5 hours = <u>14.29 miles per hour south</u>
