<span>Exactly 4(4 - 2*2^(1/3) + 2^(2/3)) feet,
or approximately 12.27023581 feet.
Let's first create an equation to calculate the relative intensity of the light based upon the distance D from the brighter light source. The distance from the dimmer light source will of course be (20-D). So the equation will be:
B = 4/D^2 + 1/(20-D)^2
The minimum and maximum can only occur at those points where the slope of the equation is 0. And you can determine the slope by using the first derivative. So let's calculate the first derivative.
B = 4/D^2 + 1/(20-D)^2
B' = d/dD [ 4/D^2 + 1/(20-D)^2 ]
B' = 4 * d/dD [ 1/D^2 ] + d/dD [ 1/(20-D)^2 ]
B' = 4(-2)D^(-3) + (-2)(20 - D)^(-3) * d/dD [ 20-D ]
B' = -8/D^3 - 2( d/dD [ 20 ] - d/dD [ D ] )/(20 - D)^3
B' = -8/D^3 - 2(0 - 1)/(20 - D)^3
B' = 2/(20 - D)^3 - 8/D^3
Now let's find a zero.
B' = 2/(20 - D)^3 - 8/D^3
0 = 2/(20 - D)^3 - 8/D^3
0 = 2D^3/(D^3(20 - D)^3) - 8(20 - D)^3/(D^3(20 - D)^3)
0 = (2D^3 - 8(20 - D)^3)/(D^3(20 - D)^3)
0 = 2D^3 - 8(20 - D)^3
8(20 - D)^3 = 2D^3
4(20 - D)^3 = D^3
4(8000 - 1200D + 60D^2 - D^3) = D^3
32000 - 4800D + 240D^2 - 4D^3 = D^3
32000 - 4800D + 240D^2 - 5D^3 = 0
6400 - 960D + 48D^2 - D^3 = 0
-6400 + 960D - 48D^2 + D^3 = 0
D^3 - 48D^2 + 960D - 6400 = 0
We now have a simple cubic equation that we can use the cubic formulas to solve.
Q = (3*960 - (-48)^2)/9 = 64
R = (9*(-48)*960 - 27*(-6400) - 2*(-48)^3)/54 = -384
D = Q^3 + R^2 = 64^3 + (-384)^2 = 409600
Since the value D is positive, there are 2 imaginary and 1 real root. We're only interested in the real root.
S = cbrt(-384 + sqrt(409600))
S = cbrt(-384 + 640)
S = cbrt(256)
S = 4cbrt(4)
T = cbrt(-384 - sqrt(409600))
T = cbrt(-384 - 640)
T = cbrt(-1024)
T = -8cbrt(2)
The root will be 4cbrt(4) - 8cbrt(2) + 48/3
So simplify
4cbrt(4) - 8cbrt(2) + 48/3
=4cbrt(4) - 8cbrt(2) + 16
=4(cbrt(4) - 2cbrt(2) + 4)
= 4(4 - 2*2^(1/3) + 2^(2/3))
Which is approximately 12.27023581
This result surprises me. I would expect the minimum to happen where the intensity of both light sources match which would be at a distance of 2/3 * 20 = 13.3333 from the brighter light source. Let's verify the calculated value.
Using the brightness equation at the top we have:
B = 4/D^2 + 1/(20-D)^2
Using the calculated value of 12.27023581, we get
B = 4/D^2 + 1/(20-D)^2
B = 4/12.27023581^2 + 1/(20-12.27023581)^2
B = 4/12.27023581^2 + 1/7.72976419^2
B = 4/150.5586868 + 1/59.74925443
B = 0.026567713 + 0.016736611
B = 0.043304324
And the intuition value of 13.33333333
B = 4/D^2 + 1/(20-D)^2
B = 4/13.33333333^2 + 1/(20-13.33333333)^2
B = 4/13.33333333^2 + 1/6.666666667^2
B = 4/177.7777778 + 1/44.44444444
B = 0.0225 +0.0225
B = 0.045
And the calculated value is dimmer. So intuition wasn't correct.
So the object should be placed 4(4 - 2*2^(1/3) + 2^(2/3)) feet from the stronger light source, or approximately 12.27023581 feet.</span>
Answer:
18.65004 grams H2O
Explanation:
First, we need to write down the balanced chemical equation for the decomposition reaction:
2LiOH -> H2O + Li2O
Since we have grams of LiOH and we need to know the grams of water, we need to convert to moles since we can only compare moles to moles.
The amu of LiOH is 23.947.
The given grams of LiOH is 63.. To convert to moles, we will divide 63 by 23.947..
This gives us 2.6310 moles LiOH..
To convert to moles of H2O (and later grams of H2O), we will use the mole fractions from the balanced equation...
When we look at the balanced equation we can see that 2 moles of LIOH can produce 1 mol of Water, so:
2.6310 moles 
= 1.3155 moles H2O
Now we will convert from moles to grams (we must multiply by the amu)
1.3155 moles H2O = 18.65 grams H2O
Answer:
3.01 × 10^24 atoms of vitamin D
Explanation:
The number of atoms, molecules or ions present in a substance is given by the Avogadro's number which is 6.02 × 10^23.
Hence;
1 molecule of vitamin D contains 6.02 ×10^23 atoms
5 molecules of vitamin D contains 5 × 6.02 ×10^23/1
= 3.01 × 10^24 atoms of vitamin D
