Answer:

The diameter of the hole increases

Explanation:

Metals expand and contract with temperature. Whenever metal is heated, it usually expands in relation to its thermal expansivity. This expansion leads to a slight increase in surface area.

Once the surface area of the metal changes, this means that the dimensions of the whole metal surface changed. As a result, the diameter of the hole drilled in the metal plate will change also. In our case, the diameter of the hole will increase.

Answer:

person when the point-light walker is moving

Explanation:

A point light walker is an arrangement of dots that moves in a way that mimics a human walking. This is used in the field of Biological Motion Perception.

Biological motion perception is the science that deals with how our brain perceives motion. In order to understand how the brain perceives motion a point light walker is used.

Find the kinetic energy of an electron whose de broglie wavelength is 34.0 nm.

dezoksy [38]

The De Broglie wavelength of the electron is
$\lambda=34.0 nm=34 \cdot 10^{-9} m$
And we can use De Broglie's relationship to find its momentum:
$p= \frac{h}{\lambda}= \frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{34 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kg m/s$

Given $p=mv$ , with m being the electron mass and v its velocity, we can find the electron's velocity:
$v= \frac{p}{m}= \frac{1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kgm/s}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg}= 2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s$

This velocity is quite small compared to the speed of light, so the electron is non-relativistic and we can find its kinetic energy by using the non-relativistic formula:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s)^2=2.06 \cdot 10^{-22} J$
