Chapter 6: Q14E (page 1435)

With a wooden ruler, you measure the length of a rectangular piece of sheet metal to be 12 mm. With micrometer calipers, you measure the width of the rectangle to be 5.98 mm. Use the correct number of significant figures: What is (a) the area of the rectangle; (b) the ratio of the rectangle’s width to its length; (c) the perimeter of the rectangle; (d) the difference between the length and the width; and (e) the ratio of the length to the width ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Given-

Length=12mm.

Width=5.98mm

Step by step solution

01

Step1- To find

Area, Ratio width/length, perimeter, difference between length and width, Ratio of Length/width

02

Step 2(Calculation Area)

Area=Lengthx Width

Area=12x5.98 mm2

Area=71.76 mm2

Area= 71.76x10-6m2

03

Step3(Perimeter and difference between Length and width )

Perimeter of rectangular sheet =2(Length+width)

P=2(12+5.98)

P=23.96mm

04

Step 4-(Ratio of width to Length, Length to width)

(a)Width/Length=5.98/12=0.49

(b)Length/Width=12/5.98=2.0066

05

Step5(Conclusion)

Rectangular sheet Area= 71.76x10-6m2

Perimeter=23.96mm

Ratio of Width/Length=5.98/12=0.49

Ratio of Length/Width=12/5.98=2.0066

Qualitatively, how would you expect the probability for a particle to tunnel through a potential barrier to depend on the height of the barrier? Explain.

A high-speed train passes a train platform. Larry is a passenger on the train, Adam is standing on the train platform, and David is riding a bicycle toward the platform in the same direction as the train is traveling. Compare the length of a train car as measured by Larry, Adam, and David.

What is the essential characteristic for an element to serve as a donor impurity in a semiconductor such as Si or Ge? For it to serve as an acceptor impurity? Explain

In classical (Newtonian) mechanics, the total energy E of a particle can never be less than the potential energy U because the kinetic energy K cannot be negative. Yet in barrier tunneling a particle passes through regions where E is less than U. Is this a contradiction? Explain.

Is it possible for an object to be (a) slowing down while its acceleration is increasing in magnitude; (b) speeding up while its acceleration is decreasing? In both cases, explain your reasoning.
