Answer:

1.604\times 10^{-25} nm is the de Broglie wavelength associated with a baseball that is moving with a velocity of 42 mph.

Explanation:

De-Broglie's wavelength, which is:

\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}

where,

\lambda = De-Broglie's wavelength = ?

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

m = mass of particle  =

v = velocity of the particle

We have :

Mass of baseball = m = 220 g = 0.220 kg ( 1g = 0.001 kg)

Velocity of the base ball = v = 42mph =\frac{42}{2.237} m/s=18.78 m/s

1 m/s = 2.237 mph

De-Broglie wavelength of the baseball at v:\lambda

\lambda =\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}Js}{0.220 kg\times 18.78 m/s}=1.604\times 10^{-34} m=1.604\times 10^{-25} nm[/tex]

1 m = 10^9 nm

1.604\times 10^{-25} nm is the de Broglie wavelength associated with a baseball that is moving with a velocity of 42 mph.

Why do solids maintain a specific shape and volume?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Solids can hold their shape because their molecules are tightly packed together. ... Atoms and molecules in liquids and gases are bouncing and floating around, free to move where they want. The molecules in a solid are stuck in a specific structure or arrangement of atoms.
