Speed must an electron have if its momentum is to be the same as that of an x-ray photon with a wavelength of 0. 85 nm is 8.6*10^5m/s.

To find the answer, we have to know about the energy of photon.

<h3>What is the speed of the electron here?</h3>
  • As we know that the momentum of an x-ray photon with a wavelength w,

                            P=\frac{h}{w}

where; h is the plank's constant.

  • Thus, the momentum will be,

            P=\frac{6.63*10^{-34}}{0.85*10^{-9}} =7.8*10^{-25}kgm/s.

  • We have to find the speed of the electron, thus, we have the expression of linear momentum as,

                          P=mv\\v=\frac{P}{m} =\frac{7.8*10^{-25}}{9.1*10^{-31}}=8.6*10^5m/s.

Thus, we can conclude that, speed must an electron have if its momentum is to be the same as that of an x-ray photon with a wavelength of 0. 85 nm is 8.6*10^5m/s.

A flutist assembles her flute in a room where the speed of sound is 342m/s . When she plays the note A, it is in perfect tune wi
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

a.3Hz

b.0.0034m

Explanation:

First, we know the flute is an open pipe, because open pipe as both end open and a close organ pipe as only one end close.

The formula relating the length and he frequency is giving as

f=\frac{nv}{2l}\\.

a.we first determine the length of the flute at the fundamental frequency i.e when <em>n</em>=1 and when the speed is in the 342m/s

Hence from

f=\frac{nv}{2l}\\\\l=\frac{342}{2*440}\\ l=0.389m\\.

since the value of the length will remain constant, we now use the value to determine the frequency when the air becomes hotter and the speed becomes 345m/s.

f=\frac{nv}{2l} \\f=\frac{345}{2*0.389}\\f=443.4Hz

Hence the require beat is

B=/f_{1}-f_{2}/\\B=/440-443/\\B=3Hz.

b. since the length is dependent also on the speed and frequency, we determine the new length when she plays with a fundamental frequency when the speed of sound is 345m/s

using the formula

L_{new}=\frac{v}{2f}\\\\L_{new}=\frac{345}{2*440}\\\\L_{new}=0.39204

Now to determine the extension,

L_{extend}=L_{new}-L_{old}\\L_{extend}=0.39204- 0.38864\\L_{extend}=0.0034m\\

A mass attached to a 50.0 cm long string starts from rest and is rotated 40 times in one minute before reaching a final angular
ch4aika [34]

To solve this problem it is only necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion description, for this purpose we know by definition that,

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 +\omega_0 t + \theta_0

Where,

\theta = Angular Displacement

\alpha =Angular Acceleration

\omega_0 = Angular velocity

\theta_0 =Initial angular displacement

For this case we have neither angular velocity nor initial angular displacement, then

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

Re-arrange for \alpha,

\alpha = \frac{2\theta}{t^2}

Replacing our values,

\alpha = \frac{2(40rev*\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})}{60^2}

\alpha = 0.139rad/s

Therefore the ANgular acceleration of the mass is 0.139rad/s^2

.<br> Why are meteorites moving?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Glow

Explanation:

Actually, it is the air in front of the meteoroid that heats up. The particle is traveling at speeds between 20 and 30 kilometers per second. It compresses the air in front, causing the air to get hot. The air is so hot it begins to glow — creating a meteor - the streak of light observed from Earth.

Hope this helped!
