A. True. You can use displacement to determine the volume of solids and liquids.
Explanation:
When the wire is connected to a battery, the compass needle moves and changes its position. This happens because the needle magnetizes the copper wire, thus, creating a force.
While the current in the wire produces a magnetic field and exerts a force on the needle. The insulation on the wire becomes energized and exerts a force on the needle. Hence, the compass needle moves and changes its position.
Answer:
x = 1.00486 m
Explanation:
The complete question is:
" The potential energy between two atoms in a particular molecule has the form U(x) =(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4 where the units of x are length and the num- bers 2.6 and 5.1 have appropriate units so that U(x) has units of energy. What is the equilibrium separation of the atoms (that is the distance at which the force between the atoms is zero)? "
Solution:
- The correlation between force F and energy U is given as:
F = - dU / dx
F = - d[(2.6)/x^8 −(5.1)/x^4] / dx
F = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5
- The equilibrium separation distance between atoms is given when Force F is zero:
0 = 20.8 / x^9 - 20.4 / x^5
0 = 20.8 - 20.4*x^4
x^4 = 20.8/20.4
x = ( 20.8/20.4 )^0.25
x = 1.00486 m
