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?

4 0

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

An object is moving east, and its velocity changes from 65 m/s to 25 m/s in 10 seconds Which describes the acceleration?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

4 m/s in negative acceleration

Explanation:

Acceleration = V- U/t

Where V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity and t is the time given.

U = 65 m/s

V= 25 m/s

T= 10 seconds

Acceleration= (25m/s - 65m/s)÷10secs

= - 40/10

= -4m/s^2

Hence, it has a negative acceleration.

In a double-slit experiment, if the central diffraction peak contains 13 interference fringes, how many fringes are contained wi
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Width of central diffraction peak is given by the following expression

Width of central diffraction peak= 2 λ D/ d₁

where d₁ is width of slit and D is screen distance and λ is wave length.

Width of other fringes become half , that is each of  secondary diffraction fringe is equal to

λ D/ d₁

Width of central interference  peak is given by the following expression

Width of  each of  bright fringe =  λ D/ d₂

where d₂ is width of slit and D is screen distance and λ is wave length.

Now given that the central diffraction peak contains 13 interference fringes

so ( 2 λ D/ d₁)  /  λ  D/ d₂ = 13

then (  λ D/ d₁)  /  λ  D/ d₂ = 13 / 2

= 6.5

no of fringes  contained within each secondary diffraction peak = 6.5
