EMERGENCY! PLS HELP
Karolina [17]

Answer:

0.75 grams

Explanation:

Today we have 6 grams

In 30 years, 3 grams remain

In 60 years 1.5 grams remain

in 90 years 0.75 grams remain

mathematically It would look like this

m = 6(0.5⁽ⁿ/³⁰⁾) where n is number of years

A quantum system has three states, with energies 0, 1.6 × 10-21, and 1.6 × 10-21, in Joules. It is coupled to an environment wit
xenn [34]

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply two concepts, the first is related to the calculation of average data and the second is the Boltzmann distribution.

Boltzmann distribution is a probability distribution or probability measure that gives the probability that a system will be in a certain state as a function of that state's energy and the temperature of the system. It is given by

z = \sum\limit_i e^{-\frac{\epsilon_i}{K_0T}}

Where,

\epsilon_i = energy of that state

k = Boltzmann's constant

T = Temperature

With our values we have that

T= 250K

k = 1.381*10^{23} m^2 kg s^{-2} K^{-1}

\epsilon_1=0J

\epsilon_2=1.6*10^{-21}J

\epsilon_3=1.6*10^{-21}J

To make the calculations easier we can assume that the temperature and Boltzmann constant can be summarized as

\beta = \frac{1}{kT}

\beta = \frac{1}{(1.381*10^{23} m^2)(250)}

\beta = 2.9*10^{20}J

Therefore the average energy would be,

\bar{\epsilon} =\frac{\sum \epsilon_i e^{-\beta \epsilon_i}}{\sum e^{-\beta \epsilon_i}}

Replacing with our values we have

\bar{\epsilon} = \frac{0e^{-0}+1.6*10^{-21}*e^{-\Beta(1.6*10^{-21})}+1.6*10^{-2-1}*e^{-(2.9*10^{20})(1.6*10^{-21})}}{1+2e^{-2.9*10^{20}*1.6*10^{-21}}}

\bar{\epsilon} = 0.9*10^{-22}J

Therefore the average internal energy is \bar{\epsilon} = 0.9*10^{-22}J

If the distance between two masses is tripled, the gravitational force between changes by a factor of:_______
adell [148]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,

distance between two masses is doubled

new distance, r' = 3 r

using gravitational force equation

F = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}............(1)

new gravitational force

F' = \dfrac{GMm}{r'^2}

now from the given condition

F' = \dfrac{GMm}{(3r)^2}

F' = \dfrac{GMm}{9r^2}

F' = \dfrac{1}{9}\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}

now, from equation (1)

F' = \dfrac{1}{9}F

\dfrac{F'}{F} = \dfrac{1}{9}

now, the change in gravitational force factor is equal to \dfrac{1}{9}

Hence, the correct answer is option A
