One mole of magnesium (6 × 1023 atoms) has a mass of 24 grams, as shown in the periodic table on the inside front cover of the t

extbook. The density of magnesium is 1.7 grams/cm3. What is the approximate diameter of a magnesium atom (length of a bond) in a solid block of the material? Make the simplifying assumption that the atoms are arranged in a "cubic" array, as shown in the figure. Remember to convert to SI units.

This question involves the concepts of density, volume, and mass.

The approximate diameter of a magnesium atom is "3.55 x 10⁻¹⁰ m".

<h3>STEP 1 (FINDING MASS OF INDIVIDUAL ATOM)</h3>

It is given that:

Mass of one mole = 24 grams

Mass of 6 x 10²³ atoms = 24 grams

Mass of 1 atom = \frac{24\ grams}{6\ x\ 10^{23}\ atoms} = 4 x 10⁻²³ grams

<h3>STEP 2 (FINDING VOLUME OF A SINGLE ATOM)</h3>

\rho = \frac{m}{V}\\\\V=\frac{m}{\rho}

where,

  • \rho = density = 1.7 grams/cm³
  • m = mass of single atom = 4 x 10⁻²³ grams
  • V = volume of single atom = ?

Therefore,

V=\frac{4\ x\ 10^{-23}\ grams}{1.7\ grams/cm^3}

V = 2.35 x 10⁻²³ cm³

<h3>STEP 3 (FINDING DIAMETER OF ATOM)</h3>

The atom is in a spherical shape. Hence, its Volume can be given as follows:

V =\frac{\pi d^3}{6}\\\\d=\sqrt[3]{ \frac{6V}{\pi}}\\\\d=\sqrt[3]{ \frac{6(2.35\ x\ 10^{-23}\ cm^3)}{\pi}}

d = 0.355 x 10⁻⁷ cm = 3.55 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

a street light is mounted at the top of a 15 foot pole. A man 6 ft tall walks away from the pole wit a speed of 7 ft/s along a s
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

16.3 ft/s

Explanation:

Let d=distance

and

x = length of shadow.

Therfore,

x=(d + x)

 = 6/15

So,

    15x = 6x + 6d

     9x = 6d.

x = (2/3)d.

As we know that:

dx=dt

   = (2/3) (d/dt) 

Also,

Given:

d(d)=dt

     = 7 ft/s

Thus,

d(d + x)=dt

           = (7/3)d (d/dt)

Substitute, d= 7  

d(d + x) = 49/3 ft/s.

Hence,

d(d + x) = 16.3 ft/s.

A 1.3-kg model airplane flies in a circular path on the end of a 23-m line. The plane makes
storchak [24]

(a) The plane makes 4.3 revolutions per minute, so it makes a single revolution in

(1 min) / (4.3 rev) ≈ 0.2326 min ≈ 13.95 s ≈ 14 s

(b) The plane completes 1 revolution in about 14 s, so that in this time it travels a distance equal to the circumference of the path:

(2<em>π</em> (23 m)) / (14 s) ≈ 10.3568 m/s ≈ 10 m/s

(c) The plane accelerates toward the center of the path with magnitude

<em>a</em> = (10 m/s)² / (23 m) ≈ 4.6636 m/s² ≈ 4.7 m/s²

(d) By Newton's second law, the tension in the line is

<em>F</em> = (1.3 kg) (4.7 m/s²) ≈ 6.0627 N ≈ 6.1 N
