Answer: 2.42(10)^{-11} m

Explanation:

The de Broglie wavelength \lambda is given by the following formula:

\lambda=\frac{h}{p}   (1)

Where:

h=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s} is the Planck constant

p is the momentum of the atom, which is given by:

p=m_{e}v_{e}   (2)

Where:

m_{e}=9.11(10)^{-31}kg is the mass of the electron

v=\frac{1}{10}c is the velocity of the electron (we are told it is 1/10 the speed of light c=3(10)^{8}\frac{m}{s})

This means equation (2) can be written as:

p=m_{e}\frac{1}{10}c   (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

\lambda=\frac{h}{m_{e}\frac{1}{10}c}    (4)

\lambda=10\frac{h}{m_{e} c}    (5)

Now, we only have to find \lambda:

\lambda=10\frac{6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s}}{(9.11(10)^{-31}kg)(3(10)^{8}\frac{m}{s})}     (6)

<u>Finally:</u>

\lambda=2.42(10)^{-11} m>>> This is the de Broglie wavelength of an electron.

A tennis ball is a hollow sphere with a thin wall. It is set rolling without slipping at 4.03 m/s on the horizontal section of a
seraphim [82]

Answer:

2.38 m/s, 4.31 m/s, lower

Explanation:

a)

Initial energy = final energy

½ m v₀² + ½ I ω₀² = mgh + ½ m v₁² + ½ I ω₁²

Since the ball is rolling without slipping, ω = v / r.

For a hollow sphere, I = ⅔ m r².

½ m v₀² + ½ (⅔ m r²) (v₀ / r)² = mgh + ½ m v₁² + ½ (⅔ m r²) (v₁ / r)²

½ m v₀² + ⅓ m v₀² = mgh + ½ m v₁² + ⅓ m v₁²

⅚ m v₀² = mgh + ⅚ m v₁²

⅚ v₀² = gh + ⅚ v₁²

v₀² = 1.2gh + v₁²

v₁ = √(v₀² − 1.2gh)

Given v₀ = 4.03 m/s, g = 9.80 m/s, h = 0.900 m:

v₁ = √((4.03)² − 1.2 (9.80) (0.900))

v₁ ≈ 2.38 m/s

At the top of the loop, the sum of the forces in the radial direction is:

∑F = ma

W + N = m v² / R

N = m v² / R - mg

N = m (v² / R - g)

Given v = 2.38 m/s, R = 0.450 m, and g = 9.80 m/s²:

N = m ((2.38)² / 0.450 - 9.80)

N = 2.77m

N ≥ 0, so the ball stays on the track.

b)

Initial energy = final energy

Borrowing from part a):

v₂ = √(v₀² − 1.2gh)

This time, h = -0.200 m:

v₂ = √((4.03)² − 1.2 (9.80) (-0.200))

v₂ ≈ 4.31 m/s

c)

Without the rotational energy:

½ m v₀² = mgh + ½ m v₁²

½ v₀² = gh + ½ v₁²

v₀² = 2gh + v₁²

v₁ = √(v₀² - 2gh)

This is less than v₁ we calculated earlier.

Tatiana [17]

Given:

speed of 0.40meters/seconds

1,800 Newton's horizontal force

Required:

Power of the horse

Solution:

P = F(D/T) where P is power in watts, F is the force, D is the distance and T is time

P = (1,800N) (0.40 meters/seconds)

P = 720 Watts
