Answer:
The west component of the given vector is - 42.548 meters.
Explanation:
We need to translate the sentence into a vectoral expression in rectangular form, which is defined as:
Where:
- Horizontal component of vector distance, measured in meters.
- Vertical component of vector distance, measured in meters.
Let suppose that east and north have positive signs, then we get the following expression:
The west component corresponds to the first component of the ordered pair. That is to say:
The west component of the given vector is - 42.548 meters.
Answer:
A) F(r) = [12a/(r^(13))] - [6b/(r^(7))]
ii) Graphs are attached
B) Equilibrium Distance = (2a/b)^(1/6)
C) Minimum Energy = b²/4a
D) a = 6.67 x 10^(-138) Jm^(12)
b = 6.41 x 10^(-78) Jm^(6)
Explanation:
I've attached the explanation of A-C alongside the graphs
D) i) From the question, we are to make r equal to the derivative of "r" we got when F(r) = 0 which was r = (2a/b)^(1/6)
Thus, since we are given equilibrium distance as: 1.13 x 10^(-10), hence;
(2a/b)^(1/6) = 1.13 x 10^(-10)m
So, (2a/b)= [1.13 x 10^(-10)]^(6)
a = (b/2)[1.13 x 10^(-10)]^(6)
From earlier, we saw that b²/4a = U(r)
Thus since U(r) = 1.54 x 10^(-18) from the question, b²/4a = 1.54 x 10^(-18)
Putting a = (b/2)[1.13 x 10^(-10)]^(6);
We have;
(b²) / [(4b/2)[1.13 x 10^(-10)]^(6)]] = 1.54 x 10^(-18)
b/2 = [1.13 x 10^(-10)]^(6)] x 1.54 x 10^(-18)
So, b = 6.41 x 10^(-78) Jm^(6)
ii) Putting (6.41 x 10^(-78))² for b in;
a = (b/2)[1.13 x 10^(-10)]^(6)
We have, a = (6.41 x 10^(-78))²/ ( 4 x 1.54 x 10^(-18)
So a = 6.67 x 10^(-138) Jm^(12)
Since the wires are made up of the same material, the resistivities will be the same.
