Answer :  The angle between the string and the horizontal is 30 degrees

Explanation:  Imagine this a a triangle where the length of the string (200m) is the hypotenuse and the height of the kite is the opposite side (100m) .

Let the angle between the string and the horizontal be theta.

Now  sin (Theta) = opposite side/hypotenuse

                             =  100/200 = 1/2

Therefore Theta = Sin ⁻¹ ( 1/2 )

Theta = 30 degrees

The potential-energy function u(x) is zero in the interval 0≤x≤l and has the constant value u0 everywhere outside this interval.

Look first for the relation between deBroglie wavelength (λ) and kinetic energy (K): 
K = ½mv² 
v = √(2K/m) 
λ = h/(mv) 
= h/(m√(2K/m)) 
= h/√(2Km) 

So λ is proportional to 1/√K. 
in the potential well the potential energy is zero, so completely the electron's energy is in the shape of kinetic energy: 
K = 6U₀ 

Outer the potential well the potential energy is U₀, so 
K = 5U₀ 
(because kinetic and potential energies add up to 6U₀) 

Therefore, the ratio of the de Broglie wavelength of the electron in the region x>L (outside the well) to the wavelength for 0<x<L (inside the well) is: 
1/√(5U₀) : 1/√(6U₀) 
= √6 : √5

An electron is released from rest on the axis of a uniform positively charged ring, 0.200 m from the ring's center. If the linea
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Velocity of the electron at the centre of the ring, v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Linear charge density of the ring=0.1\ \rm \mu C/m
  • Radius of the ring R=0.2 m
  • Distance of point from the centre of the ring=x=0.2 m

Total charge of the ring

Q=0.1\times2\pi R\\Q=0.1\times2\pi 0.4\\Q=0.251\ \rm \mu C

Potential due the ring at a distance x from the centre of the rings is given by

V=\dfrac{kQ}{\sqrt{(R^2+x^2)}}\\

The potential difference when the electron moves from x=0.2 m to the centre of the ring is given by

\Delta V=\dfrac{kQ}{R}-\dfrac{kQ}{\sqrt{(R^2+x^2)}}\\\Delta V={9\times10^9\times0.251\times10^{-6}} \left( \dfrac{1}{0.4}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{(0.4^2+0.2^2)}} \right )\\\Delta V=5.12\times10^2\ \rm V

Let\Delta U be the change in potential Energy given by

\Delta U=e\times \Delta V\\\Delta U=1.67\times10^{-19}\times5.12\times10^{2}\\\Delta U=8.55\times10^{-17}\ \rm J

Change in Potential Energy of the electron will be equal to the change in kinetic Energy of the electron

\Delta U=\dfrac{mv^2}{2}\\8.55\times10^{-17}=\dfrac{9.1\times10^{-31}v^2}{2}\\v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s

So the electron will be moving with v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s

If 50 km thick crust having an average density of 3.0 g/cm3 has a surface elevation of 2.5 km above sea level, what would you pr
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

To calculate the predicted surface elevation of a 50km thick crust above a surface of 2.5km we are given a density of 3 gram per centimeter cube.

The displacement of the material will be calculated by subtracting the surface elevation of 2.5 km from the 50 km thick crust. Therefore 50-25= 47.5 km.

Thus let the density of the material be Pm

50*3= 47.5*Pm

Therefore: Pm= (50*3)/47.5= 3.16gram per centimeter cube

Thus with an average density of 2.8gram per centimeter cube

50*2.8= (50-x)*3.16

(50-x)= (50*2.8)/3.16

50-x=44.3

x=50-44.3= 5.7

During each cycle, a refrigerator ejects 610 kJ of energy to a high-temperature reservoir, and takes in 505 kJ of energy from a
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer

A. the work done on the refrigerant in each cycle is 105kJ

B the coefficient of performance of the refrigerator is 4.8

Explanation

Given data

Work done at high temperature T2 Qh=610kJ

Work done at low temperature T1 Ql=505kJ

We know that the net work done by the refrigerator is expressed as

Wnet= Qh-Ql

=610-505

=105kJ

Also we know that the coefficient of performance is expressed as

COP= Ql/Wnet

COP= 505/105

= 4.8
