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

Explanation:
In a weightless environment a force of 5 Newtons is applied horizontally to the right on a rock with a mass of 1 kg and to a pebble with a mass of 0.1 kg.
Answer:
1/2 M V^2 = .1 M g H where 10% of PE goes into KE
V^2 = .2 g H = .2 * 9.8 * (2100 - 1600) = 980 m^2 / s^2
V = 31.1 m/s increase in speed during descent
1 km / hr = 1000 m / 3600 sec = .278 m/s
V = 31.1 m/s / (.278 m/s / km /hr)= 112 km/hr
