Cheryl has a mug that she says is made up of matter. Heather says that the hot chocolate inside the cup is made up of matter, too. Keaton says that the steam coming from the cup is also made up of matter. Mikayla says that none of it is matter because matter is too small to see. Which best describes who is correct? Cheryl Cheryl, Heather, and Keaton Cheryl and Heather Mikayla

Consider the particle-in-a-box problem in 1d. a particle with mass m is confined to move freely between two hard walls situated at x = 0 and x = l. the potential energy function is given as (a) describe the boundary conditions that must be satisfied by the wavefunctions ψ(x) (such as energy eigenfunctions). (b) solve the schr¨odinger’s equation and by using the boundary conditions of part (a) find all energy eigenfunctions, ψn(x), and the corresponding energies, en. (c) what are the allowed values of the quantum number n above? how did you decide on that? (d) what is the de broglie wavelength for the ground state? (e) sketch a plot of the lowest 3 levels’ wavefunctions (ψn(x) vs x). don’t forget to mark the positions of the walls on the graphs. (f) in a transition between the energy levels above, which transition produces the longest wavelength λ for the emitted photon? what is the corresponding wavele

Part 1: a magnetic levitation or maglev train rides rails without touching them. explain how this works using your data. include the appropriate magnet drawing in your answer. part 2: two objects are near a bar magnet. one is about 1 cm away, while the other is 6 cm away. compare and contrast the magnetic force that affects each object. use your data to answer the question

You are a sales representative for a company that makes a new alternate fuel for vehicles. you have prepared a presentation for the environmental engineers to sell your new product. what question do you expect the audience to ask regarding whether the new fuel will cause less damage to the environment? a. do we have to change any parts of the vehicle to use this alternate fuel? b. will the vehicles get better fuel mileage with the alternate fuel? c. how much greenhouse gas does your fuel produce compared with current fuel sources? d. is the alternate fuel more expensive than fossil fuel?
