Answer:

gravitational force

Explanation:

The reason that an object will maintain its orbit, regardless of its position in the orbit, is because the gravitational force from the larger object will constantly act upon the smaller object, thereby pulling the smaller object towards the larger object

The wavelengths of the following quantum particles from the largest to the smallest is (d) > (a) = (e) > (b) > (c)

De Broglie proposed that because light has both wave and particle properties, matter exhibits both wave and particle properties. This property has been explained as the dual behavior of matter.
From his observations, de Broglie derived the relationship between the wavelength and momentum of matter. This relationship is known as de Broglie's relationship.

De Broglie's relationship is given by $\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}$ .

This can be written as $\lambda=\frac{h}{p}$ .....(1) where λ is known as de Broglie wavelength and p is momentum , h = Plank’s constant .

As we know that mass of proton is greater than electron and photon .

(a)For photon , the momentum is given by $p=\frac{E}{c}$ ...(2) where c is the speed is the speed of light .

Putting E = 3eV in equation (2) , we get

$p=\frac{3\times 1.6\times10^-^1^9}{3\times 10^8} \\p=1.6\times10^-^2^7Js/m$

Putting this value of p in equation (1) , we get

$\lambda=\frac{6.62\times10^{-34}}{1.6\times10^{-27}}\\\lambda=4.13\times10^{-7}$

(b) As we know that kinetic energy is given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\2K.E = mv^2\\2K.E\times m = m^2v^2\\2K.E\times m = (mv)^2\\2K.E\times m = p^2\\\\\sqrt{2K.E\times m }=p$ ...(3)

Where mass of electron is $9.1\times10^-^3^1 kg$ .

Putting K.E = 3eV in equation (3) , we get

$\sqrt{2K.E\times m }=p\\p=\sqrt{2\times3\times1.6\times10^{-19} \times 9.31\times10^{-31} }\\p=\sqrt{89.376\times10^{-50}} \\p=9.45\times10^{-25}Js/m$

Putting this value of p in equation (1) , we get

$\lambda=\frac{6.62\times10^{-34}}{9.45\times10^{-25}}\\\lambda=0.7005\times10^{-9}$

$\sqrt{2K.E\times m }=p\\p=\sqrt{2\times3\times1.6\times10^{-19} \times 1.67\times10^{-27} }\\p=\sqrt{16.032\times10^{-46}} \\p=4.003\times10^{-23}Js/m$

Putting this value of p in equation (1) , we get

$\lambda=\frac{6.62\times10^{-34}}{4.003\times10^{-23}}\\\lambda=1.65\times10^{-11}$

(d) Putting E = 0.3eV in equation (2) , we get

$p=\frac{0.3\times 1.6\times10^-^1^9}{3\times 10^8} \\p=1.6\times10^-^2^8Js/m$

Putting this value of p in equation (1) , we get

$\lambda=\frac{6.62\times10^{-34}}{1.6\times10^{-28}}\\\lambda=4.13\times10^{-6}$

(e) Putting $p=3eV/c$ in equation (1) , we get

$\lambda=\frac{6.62\times10^{-34}\\\times3\times10^8}{3\times1.6\times10^{-19}}\\\lambda=4.13\times10^{-7}$

On comparing the wavelength order should be (d) > (a) = (e) > (b) > (c) .

An elaborate pulley consists of four identical balls at the ends of spokes extending out from a rotating drum. A box is connecte

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

its speed will be less than V

Explanation:

When the ball falls a distance d, its final kinetic energy plus rotational kinetic energy of the drum equals its initial potential energy.

K = U

With its speed V at the end of d, we have

1/2mV² + 1/2Iω² = mgd where I = rotational inertia of drum and balls, ω = angular speed of drum and balls and m = mass of box

1/2mV² + 1/2Iω² = mgd

1/2mV² = mgd - 1/2Iω²

V² = [2(mgd - 1/2Iω²)/m]

V = √[2(mgd - 1/2Iω²)/m]

When the four balls are moved inward closer to the drum, their rotational inertia increases and also its angular speed which thus causes an increase in rotational kinetic energy. But, since the box still falls the same distance of d, its final kinetic energy plus rotational kinetic energy of the drum plus balls still equals its initial potential energy

K = U

I' = new rotational inertia of drum and balls, ω' = new angular speed of drum and balls

With its new speed is now V' at the end of d,

1/2mV'² + 1/2I'ω'² = mgd

1/2mV'² = mgd - 1/2I'ω'²

V² = [2(mgd - 1/2I'ω'²)/m]

V' = √[2(mgd - 1/2I'ω'²)/m]

Since I' and ω' increase, the rotational kinetic energy of the drum and balls (1/2I'ω'²) increases. Thus, the difference (mgd - 1/2I'ω'²) < (mgd - 1/2Iω²) which implies that the kinetic energy of the box decreases. Hence, since its kinetic energy decreases, its speed V' also decreases.

So, V' < V

So, its speed will be less than V.
