Document Summary

In humans, it is arguably instrumental to the interest of happiness, which is a separate and distinctly encompassing concept. It may be easy to prove sentience in animals, but it may be more difficult to prove happiness in them. (4)-> the device of an interest, independent of either a subject or an object, has no intrinsic value (kant. ) An object in and of itself also has no value without a subject or a connecting relation of inclination/interest. Therefore, the concept of value must originate wholly within the subject. This means that the subject must have some influence in the determination of value. Rebutt: yes, it"s true that inclinations taken out of the subject-object relationship posses no intrinsic value. The animal interest is an alleviation of immediate pain, while humanity is capable of comprehending this sentiment on an exponentially greater scale due to the faculties of reason, of self- consciousness and of prediction.

Working on my fermi level project. Interested in determining theintrinsic carrier concentration of gallium nitride (GaN).

T=300; % Temperature in Kelvin
k=8.617e-5; % Boltzmann constant (eV/K)
e0=8.85e-14; % permittivity of free space (F/cm)
q=1.602e-19; % charge on an electron (coul)
KS=8.9; % Dielectric constant of GaN
ni=X; % intrinsic carrier conc. in Galium Nitride at 300K
EG=3.44 ; % Galium Nitride band gap (eV)

Could you show steps on how you calculated X?

Honestly, just give me a value and show me how you got there. Cutthe gibberish.
Its couple hours before sunrise.

Intrinsic carrier concentration:
ni = (NcÂ·Nv)^(1/2)*exp(-Eg/(2kBT))

Effective density of states in the conduction band: Nc
Zinc Blende
Nc = 2.3*(1e14)*T^(3/2) (cm-3)

Effective density of states in the valence band: Nv
Zinc Blende BN
Nv = 8.0*(1e15)*T^(3/2) (cm-3)

Planetary motion.

A planet or asteroid the sun in an elliptical path. The diagram shows two points of interest: point P, the perihelion, where the planet is nearest to the Sun, and the far point, or aphelion, at point A. At these two points (and only these two points), the velocity v of the planet is perpendicular to the corresponding "radius" vector , from the Sun to the planet. An arbitrary point Q is also shown.

Suppose the asteroid's speed at aphelion is , and its distance from the sun there is (AU is the "astronomical unit", commonly used in planetary astronomy).

a) Determine the planet's speed at perihelion.

b) Determine the planet's distance from the Sun (in AU) at perihelion.

Assume that the Sun is orders of magnitude more massive than the asteroid. This means the Sun does not accelerate significantly in response to the planet's gravity and can be assumed to remain at rest.

Derive a symbolic formula, but don't try too hard to simplify it. Look up the values and conversion factors you need in order to obtain a numerical answer.

Recall the universal gravity formulas:
