Answer:

The answer is B. Light

Explanation:

The sense of sight is one of the main sensory abilities of humans and many other animals, while the term light is considered as part of the radiation field known as the electromagnetic spectrum. Light is the part of electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived by the human eye; what is known as vision, the ability to interpret the environment thanks to the rays of light that reach the eye.

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of: a) A person running across the room (assume 180 kg at 1 m/s) b) A 5.0 MeV proton

solmaris [256]

Answer:

$\lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \ m$

$\lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the person is $m = 180 \ kg$

The speed of the person is $v = 1 \ m/s$

The energy of the proton is $E_ p = 5 MeV = 5 *10^{6} eV = 5.0 *10^6 * 1.60 *10^{-19} = 8.0 *10^{-13} \ J$

Generally the de Broglie wavelength is mathematically represented as

$\lambda = \frac{h}{m * v }$

Here h is the Planck constant with the value

$h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s$

$\lambda = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{ 180 * 1 }$

=> $\lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \ m$

Generally the energy of the proton is mathematically represented as

$E_p = \frac{1}{2} * m_p * v^2_p$

Here $m_p$ is the mass of proton with value $m_p = 1.67 *10^{-27} \ kg$

=> $8.0*10^{-13} = \frac{1}{2} * 1.67 *10^{-27} * v^2$

=> $v _p= \sqrt{\frac{8.0 *10^{-13}}{ 0.5 * 1.67 *10^{-27}} }$

=> $v = 3.09529 *10^{7} \ m/s$

$\lambda_p = \frac{h}{m_p * v_p }$

so $\lambda_p = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{1.67 *10^{-27} * 3.09529 *10^{7} }$

=> $\lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m$

A ball is thrown straight up. What will

Papessa [141]

Answer:

velocity at the top: 0 m/s

acceleration at the top: -9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Assuming up is positive and down is negative;

The velocity of the ball at the top of its path will be 0 m/s and the acceleration will be negative.

The velocity is 0 m/s because the ball does not move at the top of its path, and it switches from a positive velocity to a negative velocity. It must go through 0 in order to go from positive to negative.

The acceleration, however, is always negative no matter where the ball is in its motion. This negative acceleration causes the ball to slow down as it reaches the top, and speed up as it reaches the bottom.

<u>Think about it:</u> If there wasn't a negative acceleration, and it was instead 0, the ball would never come back down and instead keep going in a straight line.
