Answer:

"because the Moon's orbit is tilted five degrees from Earth's orbit around the Sun, so most of the time the Moon passes above or below the shadow."

An expensive vacuum system can achieve a pressure as low as 1.00×10^{-7} N/m^2 at 20ºC . How many atoms are there in a cubic cen

marta [7]

Answer:

$24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms$

Explanation:

P = Pressure = $1\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2$

V = Volume = 1 cm³

n = Amount of substance

N = Number of atoms

$N_A$ = Avogadro's constant = $6.022\times 10^{23}\ /mol$

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/k mol

T = Temperature = 273.15+20 = 293.15 K

From the ideal gas law

$PV=nRT\\\Rightarrow n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

$n=\frac{N}{N_A}$

$\frac{N}{N_A}=\frac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow N=N_A\times \frac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow N=\frac{1\times 10^{-7}\times 1\times 10^{-6}}{8.314\times 293.15}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow N=24708184.32141\ atoms=24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms$

The number of atoms is $24.70818432141\times 10^7\ atoms$

I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS :) What does it mean when white light is diffracted and at a particular location the color seen is bl

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

This is because white light consists of 7 colours with different angles o deviation or retraction.

Explanation:

When a narrow beam of light is refracted by a prism the light spreads into a band of colours (called the spectrum of light )

But in this case if a blue colour is observed it is due to the angle of refraction ,for instance red is refracted the least and hence is seen
