Answer:

Ok, the answer is because there will not be enough sunlight for a spacecraft to power all the way.

An lc circuit oscillates at a frequency of 2000 Hz. What will the frequency be if the inductance is quadrupled?

Irina-Kira [14]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

An LC circuits if formed by an inductor and a capacitor. The charge on the capacitor and the current through the inductor both vary sinusoidally with time. Also, energy is transferred between magnetic energy in the inductor and electrical energy in the capacitor. But <em>what happens with the frequency if the inductance is quadrupled? </em>that is, if initially the inductance is $L$ and the frecuency $f=2000Hz$ if now $L_{New}=4L$ What will the frequency be? Well, we know that the frequency, inductance and capacitance are related as:

$f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}}$

and this equals 2000Hz. If now L is quadrupled:

$f_{1}=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1}{4LC}}=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}} \\ \\ \therefore f_{1}=(\frac{1}{2})\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}} \\ \\ \\ Since \ f=\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC}} \ then: \\ \\ f_{1}=\frac{1}{2}f \therefore f_{1}=\frac{2000}{2} \\ \\ \therefore \boxed{f_{1}=1000Hz}$

<em>Finally, if L is quadrupled the frequency is half the original frequency and equals 1000Hz</em>

Determine the number of atoms per unit cell in a (a) face-centered cubic, (b) body- centered cubic, and (c) diamond lattice.

fredd [130]

Answer:

a) 4

b) 2

c) 8

Explanation:

In a cubic lattice, each atom of the vertex is shared among other 8 unit cells, so the atoms on the vertex contribute to 1/8 to a given unit cell.

a) Ina face-centered cubic we have 8 atoms on the vertex and one in each face, which is shared with another unit cell, so it contribute to 1/2

Therefore, the total atoms are:

8*(1/8) + 6*(1/2) = 4

b) In the body centered cubic structure, the centered atom is not shared with another cell, therefore it contribute to 1 to the given cell:

The number of atoms per unit cel is:

8*(1/8) + 1 = 2

c) The diamond lattice is similar to the face-centered cubic lattice but it contains two identical atoms per lattice point.

Therefore it must contain twice atoms than the face-centered cubic lattice:

that is, it has 8 atoms per unit cell

How much work would be needed to raise the payload from the surface of the moon (i.e., x = r) to an altitude of 5r miles above t

Cloud [144]

Let the data is as following

mass of payload = "m"

mass of Moon = "M"

now we know that we place the payload from the position on the surface of moon to the position of 5r from the surface

So in this case we can say that change in the gravitational potential energy is equal to the work done to move the mass from one position to other

so it is given by

$W = U_f - U_i$

we know that

$U_f = -\frac{GMm}{6r}$

$U_i = -\frac{GMm}{r}$

now from above formula

$W = -\frac{GMm}{6r} + \frac{GMm}{r}$

$W = \frac{5GMm}{6r}$

so above is the work done to move the mass from surface to given altitude
