Why does the lennard-jones potential have its minimum at a distance of rm=2^1/6sigme

Aboxcar traveling at 12 m/s approaches a string of 5 identical boxcars sitting stationary on the track. the moving boxcar collides and links with the stationary cars and they all move off together along the track. what is the final speed of the cars immediately after the collision? (you may take the mass of each boxcar to be 18,537 kg.)

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

Calculate the ratio of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 6. find the concentration of h+ ions to oh– ions listed in table b of your student guide. then divide the h+ concentration by the oh– concentration. record this calculated ratio in table a of your student guide. compare your approximated and calculated ratios of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 6. are they the same? why or why not? record your explanation in table a. what is the concentration of h+ ions at a ph = 6? mol/l what is the concentration of oh– ions at a ph = 6? mol/l what is the ratio of h+ ions to oh– ions at a ph = 6? : 1
