By uncertainty principle

λ = h / p.         

Where λ = wavelength,  h = Planck's constant = 6.63 * 10⁻³⁴ Js

λ = wavelength = 550 nm = 550 * 10⁻⁹ m, Mass of electron = 9.1 * 10 ⁻³¹ kg

p = Momentum = mv

λ = h / mv

v = h / mλ

v = 6.63 * 10⁻³⁴ / (9.1 * 10⁻³¹ *  550 * 10⁻⁹)

v = 1 324 675.325 m/s

v ≈ 1.325 *10⁶  m/s

Calculate the net force and the acceleration on the block
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Net Force = 10N

Acceleration = 2m/s^2

Explanation:

calculate the net force and the acceleration on the block

Net force on the block F = mass * acceleration

Net force acting in the positive direction = 4N + 6N = 10N

Mass = 5kg

According to newton's second law;

a = F/m

a = 10N/5

a = 2m/s^2

hence the acceleration on the block is 2m/s^2

Which list of properties of alternation current is the most likely reason it was chosen over direct current to provide electrici
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only

- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward

There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:

- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.

- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.

According to Newton's third law, if you push on a wall, the wall ?
Lady bird [3.3K]

The wall will push back, in exactly the opposite direction, and with
exactly the same size force.

That's why the net force on the palm of your hand is zero, and that
in turn is the reason that your hand doesn't accelerate.

If you keep increasing the strength of your push, then eventually you
exceed the force that the wall is capable of delivering.  Then the wall
crumbles and falls, your hand accelerates in the direction you're pushing,
and the crowd goes wild !
