devlian [24]
Force acting during collision is internal so momentum is conserve so (initial momentum = final momentum) in both directions Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1150 kg and was approaching at 5.00 m/s due south. The second car has a mass of 750 kg and was approaching at 25.0 m/s due west. Let Vx is and Vy are final velocities of car in +x and +y direction respectively. initial momentum in +ve x (east) direction = final momentum in +ve x direction (east)

- 750*25 + 1150*0 = (750+1150)
Vx initial momentum in +ve y (north) direction = final momentum in +ve y direction (north)

750*0 - 1150*5 = (750+1150)
Vy from here you can calculate Vx and Vy so final velocity V is


<span>V=<span>(√</span><span>V2x</span>+<span>V2y</span>) 
</span>
and angle make from +ve x axis is

<span>θ=<span>tan<span>−1</span></span>(<span><span>Vy</span><span>Vx</span></span>)

Photons of wavelength 65.0 pm are Compton-scattered from a free electron which picks up a kinetic energy of 0.84 keV from the co
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

λ  = 65.6 pm

Explanation:

Given that

λo = 65 pm

The initial energy of the electron

E_o=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda_0 }

Now by putting the values

E_o=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda_0 }

E_o=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{65\times 10^{-12}}

E_o=3.05\times 10^{-15}\ J

E_o=\dfrac{3.05\times 10^{-15}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 10^3}\ KeV

Eo=19.06 KeV

Given that kinetic energy KE= 0.84 KeV

Therefore the final energy

E= Eo - KE

E = 19.06 - 0.84 KeV

E= 18.22 KeV

The wavelength  λ can be find as

E=\dfrac{hC}{\lambda}

\lambda=\dfrac{hC}{E}

\lambda=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{19.06 \times 10^3\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}

λ = 6.56 x 10⁻¹¹ m

λ  = 65.6 pm
