(III) The potential energy of the two atoms in a diatomic (two-atom) molecule can be written
where r is the distance between the two atoms and a and b are positive constants. (a) At what values of r is U(r) a minimum? A maximum? (b) At what values of r is U(r) = 0? (c) Plot U(r) as a function of r from r = 0 to r at a value large enough for all the features in (a) and (b) to show. (d) Describe the motion of one atom with respect to the second atom when E < 0, and when E > 0. (e) Let F be the force one atom exerts on the other. For what values of r is F > 0, F < 0, F = 0? (f) Determine F as a function of r.

- In 2011, artist Hans-Peter Feldmann covered the walls of a gallery at the New York Guggenheim Museum with 100,000 one-dollar bills (Fig. P1.48). Approximately how much would it cost you to wallpaper your room in one-dollar bills, assuming the bills do not overlap? Consider the cost of the bills alone, not other supplies or labor costs. FIGURE P1.48arrow_forwardK conditions 2 is 2.00 and K condition 1 is 1.88. Why should K condition 1 and 2 should be the same?arrow_forwardI) We consider atoms of rubidium in the gaseous state. The molar mass of rubidium is M-87 g/mol. 1) At T=900 K, the rubidium acts like and ideal gas. At this temperature the free energy F is given by h2 F = -kgT ln Z where Z = with z N! V and A = (; 1/2 N being the number of 2TmkBT particles of the gas and m the mass of one particle. a) Explain the presence of the N! in the equation. b) Derive the expression of F as a function of T and the number of particles per unit volume, n=N/V. c) Show that u = T In(nA) where 7 is a quantity that you will express as a function of T.arrow_forward

Assume that the person is wearing only a skimpy bathing suit of negligible area. As a rough approximation, the area of a human body may be considered to be that of the sides of a cylinder of length L = 2.0 m and circumference C = 0.8 m. For the Stefan-Boltzmann constant use o= 5.67 x 10-8 W/m²/K4 Part C Now calculate Por, the thermal power absorbed by the person from the thermal radiation field in the room, which is assumed to be at Troom = 20°C. If you do not understand the role played by the emissivities of room and person, be sure to open the hint on that topic. Express the thermal power numerically, giving your answer to the nearest 10 W.

The car sticker advertised that the car's fuel consumption was at the rate of 40 miles per gallon on the open road. The tourist does not realize that the U.K. gallon differs from the U.S. gallon: 1 U.K. gallon = 4.546 090 o liters 1 U.S. gallon = 3.785 411 8 liters.
