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.

An object ends up at a final position of x=-55.25 meters after a displacement of -189.34 meters after a displacement of -189.34
Travka [436]

The initial position of the object was found to be 134.09 m.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As displacement is the measure of difference between the final and initial points. In other words, we can say that displacement can be termed as the change in the position of the object irrespective of the path followed by the object to change the path. So

Displacement = Final position - Initial position.

As the final position is stated as -55.25 meters and the displacement is also stated as -189.34 meters. So the initial position will be

Initial position of the object = Final position-Displacement

Initial position = -55.25 m - (-189.34 m) = -55.25 m + 189.34 m = 134.09 m.

Thus, the initial position for the object having a displacement of -189.34 m is determined as 134.09 m.

An airplane has wings, each with area A, designed so that air flows over the top of the wing at 265 m/s and underneath the wing
exis [7]

Answer

given,

Pressure on the top wing = 265 m/s

speed of underneath wings = 234 m/s

mass of the airplane =  7.2 × 10³ kg

density of air =  1.29 kg/m³

using Bernoulli's equation

 P_1 + \dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2

 \Delta P =\dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)

 \Delta P =\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.29\times (265^2-234^2)

 \Delta P =9977.5 Pa

Applying newtons second law

2 Δ P x A - mg = 0

A =\dfrac{mg}{2\Delta P}

A =\dfrac{7.2\times 10^3 \times 9.8}{2\times 9977.5}

    A = 3.53 m²

A "biconvex" lens is one in which both surfaces of the lens bulge outwards. Suppose you had a biconvex lens with radii of curvat
Stolb23 [73]

Answer: f=150cm in water and f=60cm in air.

Explanation: Focal length is a measurement of how strong light is converged or diverged by a system. To find the variable, it can be used the formula:

\frac{1}{f} = (nglass - ni)(\frac{1}{R1} - \frac{1}{R2}).

nglass is the index of refraction of the glass;

ni is the index of refraction of the medium you want, water in this case;

R1 is the curvature through which light enters the lens;

R2 is the curvature of the surface which it exits the lens;

Substituting and calculating for water (nwater = 1.3):

\frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1.3)(\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{15})

\frac{1}{f} = 0.2(\frac{1}{30})

f = \frac{30}{0.2} = 150

For air (nair = 1):

\frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1)(\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{15})

f = \frac{30}{0.5} = 60

In water, the focal length of the lens is f = 150cm.

In air, f = 60cm.
