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 small block with mass 0.0400 kg slides in a vertical circle of radius 0.600 m on the inside of a circular track. During one of
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

The mass of the body is 0.04kg

M=0.04kg

The radius of the paths is 0.6m

r=0.6m

The normal force exerted at A is 3.9N

Fa=3.9N

The normal force exerted at B is 0.69N

Fb=0.69N

Then work done by friction from point A to B will be the change in K.E

W=∆K.E+P.E

So we need to know the velocity at both point A and B

Then since the centripetal force is given as

Ft=mv²/r

Then,

For point A

Fa=mv²/r

3.9=0.04v²/0.6

3.9=0.0667v²

v²=3.9/0.0667

v²=58.5

v=√58.5

v=7.65m/s

Va=7.65m/s

Now at point B

Fb=mv²/r

0.69=0.04v²/0.6

0.69=0.0667v²

v²=0.69/0.0667

v²=10.35

v=√10.35

v=3.22m/s

Vb=3.22m/s

Then, the work done is

W=∆K.E+P.E

P.E is given as mgh

The height will be 2R =1.2m

P.E=mgh

P.E=0.04×9.81×1.2

P.E=0.471J

Final kinetic energy at B minus initial kinetic energy at A

W=K.Eb-K.Ea

K.E is given as 1/2mv²

W=1/2m(Vb²-Va²) +P.E

W=0.5×0.04(3.22²-7.65²) +0.471

W=0.5×0.04×(-48.1541) +0.471

W=-0.96+0.471

W=-0.49J

work was done on the block by friction during the motion of the block from point A to point B is 0.49J.

Friction opposes motions and that is why the work done is negative

What type of modulation is typically used by broadcasting stations to transmit pictures on television screens?
umka21 [38]
Analog

Television transmitters use one of two different technologies: analog, in which the picture and sound are transmitted by analog signals modulated onto the radio carrier wave, and digital in which the picture and sound are transmitted by digital signals.
