The number of phonecalls coming into a switchboard in the next five minutes will either be0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. The probabilities are the same for each of these(1/7). If X is the number of calls arriving in a five-minute timeperiod, what is the mean of X?
Suppose we are in the NPT ensemble, and that the entropy S = S(L) depends on the length of a molecule. We also find that S(L) = -3L. Given that dG = -SdT + Vdp + μdN + fdL, what does (∂f/∂T)L equal when L is 2?
Suppose that an STM scans a surface at a distance of a = 1.500 nm.
Take the height of the potential energy barrier to be U0 − E = 1.70 eV.
If the distance between the surface and the STM tip decreases by (5.68x10^0)% estimate the percentage change in the tunneling current.
(Here is how you should enter your answer:
if the change is 5% write 5.00 and if 20.7% write 20.7 and so on)
