Consider a finite square-well potential well of width 3.1 ✕ 10-15 m that contains a particle of mass 1.8 GeV/c2. How deep does t

his potential well need to be to contain three energy levels? (Except for the energy levels, this situation approximates a deuteron. Use the infinite square well potential result to approximate the energy levels.)

We can find the energy levels of the particle in the finite square-well potential using the formula for energy of infinite square well.

The formula is given by,

E_n = n^2 \frac{h^2}{8mL^2}

Where

Number of levels (n) = 3

Planck constant (h) = 6.626*10^{-34}J.s

Mass of the particle is (m) = 1.88GeV/c^2

The mass of the particle can be converted to J/c^2,

m=1.88GeV/c^2(\frac{10^9eV}{1GeV})(\frac{1.6*10^{-19}}{1eV})

m=3.008*10^{-10}J/c^2

With all the values we can solve in the first equation, so

E_3 = (3)^2 \frac{h^2}{8mL^2}

E_3 = 9 \frac{h^2c^2}{8mc^2L^2}

E_3= \frac{9(6.626*10^{-34})^2(3*10^8)^2}{8(3.008*10^{-10}/c^2)}(c^2)(3*10^{-15})}

E_3 = 1.642*10^{-11}J

We can also convert to eV,

E_3=1.642*10^{-11}J(\frac{1MeV}{1.6*10^{-13}J})

E_3 = 102.62MeV

<em>Therefore, the depth of the well needed to contain three energy levels is 102.62MeV</em>

For flowing water, what is the magnitude of the velocity gradient needed to produce a shear stress of 1.0 n/m2 ?
Verizon [17]
Shear stress = 1.0 N/m² (Pa)

For water, the dynamic viscosity = 10⁻³ Pa-s at 20°C.
The velocity gradient required = (Shear stress)/(Dynamic viscosity)
= (1.0 Pa)/( 10⁻³ Pa-s)
= 10³ 1/s

Answer:  10³  s⁻¹

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

A. the internal energy stays the same

Explanation:

From the first law of thermodynamics, "energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

Based on this first law of thermodynamic, the new internal energy of the gas is the same as the internal energy of the original system.

Therefore, when the partition separating the two halves of the box is removed and the system reaches equilibrium again, the internal energy stays the same.

The unit 'mb' means millibar which is equivalent to 1/1000 of 1 bar. To convert the units from bar to atmospheres (atm) and to inches Hg (inHg), we need to know the conversion factors.

a.) 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(1 atm/1.01325 bar) =<em> 9.08×10⁻⁴ atm</em>

b.) 1 bar = 29.53 inHg

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(29.53 inHg/1 bar) =<em> 0.027 inHg</em>

If isomerization requires breaking the pi bond, what minimum energy is required for isomerization in j/mol?
aliina [53]
<span>The minimum energy required for isomerization is 267 000 J/mol 
</span>

The isomerization of cis-but-2-ene to trans-but-2-ene requires breaking of the π bond.

The bond energy of a C-C σ bond is 347 kJ/mol.

The bond energy of a C=C double bond (σ + π) is 614 kJ/mol.

So the bond energy of a π bond is (614 – 347) kJ/mol = 267 kJ/mol =
267 000 J/mol.
