Answer:

the free electron density of lithium is 2.3 × 10²⁸ /m³

Explanation:

The Fermi energy is 4.72 eV.

The Fermi energy (highest filled orbital energy ) of free electron is

\varepsilon_f=\frac{h^2}{8m_e} (\frac{3N}{\pi V} )^{2/3}

Rearrange the above equation for free electron density of lithium

\frac{N}{V} = \frac{\pi }{3} (\frac{8m_e \varepsilon_f}{h^2} )^{3/2}

where,

h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴J.s

m_e = 9.11 × 10⁻³¹kg

\varepsilon_f = 4.72eV

= \frac{\pi }{3} (\frac{8(9.11\times10^{-31})(4.72\times1.6\times10^{-19})}{6.626\times10^{-34}} )\\\\= 2.3\times10^{28} /m^3

Thus, the free electron density of lithium is 2.3 × 10²⁸ /m³

Why do raindrops fall with a constant speed during the later stages of their descents?
BartSMP [9]
Firstly they have a acceleration downwards due the force downwards due they gravitational field acting on it's mass.
as it falls it gains speed, and as it gains speed the air Resistance which is a upward force actin on the drop increases, eventually the rain drop's upward and downward forces are balanced and hence there is no RESULTANT force therefore no acceleration, so the drops falls in constant speed (terminal verlocity is a better term)

Are you wondering that why is the raindrop still moving given that the forces are balanced? If so according to Newton's 1st law an object will keep moving or Remain at rest until a RESULTANT force acts on it.

A ball is dropped from the top of a building.After 2 seconds, it’s velocity is measured to be 19.6 m/s. Calculate the accelerati
zlopas [31]

Answer:

acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

'A ball is dropped from the top of a building' indicates that the initial velocity of the ball is zero.

u = 0 m/s

After 2 seconds, velocity of the ball is 19.6 m/s.

t = 2s, v = 19.6 m/s

Using

v = u + at

19.6 = 0 + 2a

a = 9.8 m/s²

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

a. i=4760 kg*m/s

b. D_U= 1.11 m

Explanation:

a)

F= 120,000N

Kinetic energy @ impact = 120,000*depth

K_E= (1/2)*85kg*(56m/s)^2

K_E=133280 J

D_U= \frac{133280J}{120000N} = 1.11 m

b)

The momentum is equal to the impulse on him from the snow so:

p=m*v

p=85kg*56m/s

i=4760 kg*m/s

Which energy output objects work with the turbine
viktelen [127]

Answer:

The energy output object that works with the turbine is the alternator (generator)

Explanation:

In energy generation the turbine receives input energy from high pressured steam, high energy water etc. Which impinges and turn the blades of the turbine, this turbine is connected by means of a shaft to the alternator that converts the rotational motion of the shaft to electrical energy through Electro magnetic induction principles and also outputs the energy for consumption.
