Based on the energy band theory, answer the following questions: (a) what is energy bands? what is the fermi energy and the work function of a metal? (b) hybridization is a phenomenon that happens when some particular atoms are bonded together. a sp^3 hybridization usually happens in the case of silicon atoms, and this hybridization eventually results in the formation of two special energy bands. explain how this phenomenon happens, how it results in that two energy bands, and what are that two special energy bands?

As you are trying to move a heavy box of mass m, you realize that it is too heavy for you to lift by yourself. there is no one around to , so you attach an ideal pulley to the box and a massless rope to the ceiling, which you wrap around the pulley. you pull up on the rope to lift the box. use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity and neglect friction forces. once you have pulled hard enough to start the box moving upward, what is the magnitude f of the upward force you must apply to the rope to start raising the box with constant velocity? express the magnitude of the force in terms of m, the mass of the box.

Boiling water is an example of physical change. true or false

The frequency of a tuning fork can be found by the method shown. a long tube open at both ends is submerged in a beaker of water, and the vibrating tuning fork is placed near the top of the tube. the length l of the air column is adjusted by moving the tube vertically. the sound waves generated by the fork are reinforced when the length of the air column corresponds to one of the resonant frequencies of the tube. the smallest value for l for which a peak occurs in sound intensity is 7 cm. l what is the frequency of the tuning fork? the speed of sound in air is 345 m/s. answer in units of hz
