An electron emitted in the beta decay of bismuth-210 has a mean kinetic energy of 390 keV. (a) Find the de Broglie wavelength of

Sauron [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

The mean kinetic energy of the emitted electron, $E=390\ keV=390\times 10^3\ eV$

(a) The relation between the kinetic energy and the De Broglie wavelength is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2meE}}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 390\times 10^3}}$

$\lambda=1.96\times 10^{-12}\ m$

(b) According to Bragg's law,

$n\lambda=2d\ sin\theta$

n = 1

For nickel, $d=0.092\times 10^{-9}\ m$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\lambda}{2d})$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.96\times 10^{-12}}{2\times 0.092\times 10^{-9}})$

$\theta=0.010^{\circ}$

As the angle made is very small, so such an electron is not useful in a Davisson-Germer type scattering experiment.

Students will consider the following items: ice, glass, copper, and aluminium. what happens to each item when hammered? what pro

vladimir2022 [97]

All metals except potassium and sodium, have a property known as malleability. Malleability is the quality of something that can be shaped into something else without breaking. So when aluminium and copper are hammered they will not break. Rather they will change shape and become thin or flat at the area where its hammered.

All Non- metals except diamond are brittle in nature, so when we hammer it , they will break down into pieces. So when ice and glass will be hammered they will shatter into pieces.

A biologist looking through a microscope sees a bacterium at r⃗ 1=2.2i^+3.7j^−1.2k^μm(1μm=10−6m). After 6.2 s , it's at r⃗ 2=4.6

stiv31 [10]

The Average velocity for the bacterium is 0.75 unit/sec.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given values are in the vector form

Where,

dS = distance covered

dT = time interval

Now, to calculate distance covered, we have

$|d S|=\sqrt{d S^{2}}$

&

$d S=r_{2}-r_{1}$

d S=(4.6 i+1.9 k)-(2.2 i+3.7 j - 1.2 k)

d S=(4.6-2.2) i+(0-3.7) j+(1.9+1.2) k

d S=2.4 i-3.7 j+3.1 k

Now, putting these values in the standard formula to evaluate the average velocity, we get;

$v_{a v g}=\frac{|\mathrm{d} S|}{d T}$

$v(a v g)=\frac{|\sqrt{\left\{\left(2.4^{2}\right)+\left(3.7^{2}\right)+\left(3.1^{2}\right)\right\}}|}{7.2}$

As dT=7.2 sec

Now,

Solving the equation, we get;

$v(a v g)=\frac{5.390732789}{7.2}$

$\begin{aligned}&v(a v g)=\frac{5.39}{7.2}\\&v(a v g)=0.748611111\\&v(a v g)=0.75 \text { units / sec }\end{aligned}$

Hence, the average velocity for the bacterium is 0.75 unit/sec.

A clarinetist, setting out for a performance, grabs his 3.010 kg clarinet case (including the clarinet) from the top of the pian

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

-0.481 m/s^2

Explanation:

The force equation of this problem is given as:

F - W = ma

where F = upward force holding the clarinet bag

W = downward force (weight of the clarinet)

The mass of the clarinet bag is 3.010 kg, therefore, its weight is:

W = mg

W = 3.010 * 9.8 = 29.498

F = 28.05 N

Therefore:

28.05 - 29.498 = 3.010 * a

-1.448 = 3.010a

=> a = -1.448 / 3.010

a = -0.481 m/s^2

The acceleration of the bag is downward.
