The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms separated by a large distance .x is given by L/(x) = —C6/x6, where C6 is a posi

tive constant. What is the force that one atom exerts on the other? Is this force attractive or repulsive?

Answer:

Explanation:

The force that one atom exerts on the other is the negative derivative of the potential energy = \frac{-dL(x)}{dx}

F(x) = - \frac{d}{dx}( -C₆ / x⁷) = - (- (-6) C₆ x⁻⁶ ⁻¹) = - 6C₆ /x⁷

when xis negative, F is positive and when x is positive, F is negative. It is therefore and attractive force and F is always directed to the center

[1] The assembly starts from rest and reaches an angular speed of 150 rev/min under the action of a 20-N force T applied to the
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

t = 5.89 s

Explanation:

To calculate the time, we need the radius of the pulley and the radius of the sphere which was not given in the question.

Let us assume that the radius of the pulley (r_p) = 0.4 m

Let the radius of the sphere (r) = 0.5 m

w = angular speed = 150 rev/min = (150 × 2π / 60) rad/s = 15.708 rad/s

Tension (T) = 20 N

mass (m) = 3 kg each

\int\limits^0_t {Tr_p} \, dt=H_2-H_1\\( Tr_p)t=4rm(rw)\\( Tr_p)t=4r^2mw

t = \frac{4r^2mw}{Tr_P}

Substituting values:

t = \frac{4r^2mw}{Tr_P}= \frac{4*(0.5)^2*3*15.708}{20*0.4}=5.89s

How does the pupillary response prevent injury? What would happen without it?
Aleksandr [31]
Pupils dilate and constrict in order to allow an adequate amount of light to pass through the retina and vision. If there is not enough light and the pupils do not dilate, a small amount of light will pass to the retina and the vision will be damaged.

In the Millikan oil drop experiment the measured charge of any single droplet was always a whole number multiple of -1.60 x 10-1
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Number of electrons, n = 6

Explanation:

Total charge in a single droplet, q=-9.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

The measured charge of any single droplet, e=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Let n is the number of excess electrons are contained within the drop. According to the quantization of charge :

q=ne

n=\dfrac{q}{e}

n=\dfrac{-9.6\times 10^{-19}}{-1.6\times 10^{-19}}

n = 6

So, there are 6 electrons contained within the drop. Hence, this is the required solution.

A person with mass mp = 76 kg stands on a spinning platform disk with a radius of R = 1.98 m and mass md = 191 kg. The disk is i
nalin [4]
<span>1.7 rad/s The key thing here is conservation of angular momentum. The system as a whole will retain the same angular momentum. The initial velocity is 1.7 rad/s. As the person walks closer to the center of the spinning disk, the speed will increase. But I'm not going to bother calculating by how much. Just remember the speed will increase. And then as the person walks back out to the rim to the same distance that the person originally started, the speed will decrease. But during the entire walk, the total angular momentum remained constant. And since the initial mass distribution matches the final mass distribution, the final angular speed will match the initial angular speed.</span>
