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.

Jill applies a force of 250 N to a machine. The machine applies a force of 25 N to an object. What is the mechanical advantage o
Vinvika [58]

Mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio of output load to the input load. The mechanical advantage of the machine will be 0.1.

<h3>What is mechanical advantage?</h3>

Mechanical advantage is a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system,

It is used to obtain the efficiency of forces in levers and pulleys. It is an effective way of amplifying the force in simple machines like levers.

The theoretical mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio of the force responsible for the useful work in the system to the applied force.

Given

applied force = 250 N

Output force = 25

Mechanical advantage = work output / work input

\rm{Mechanical advantage}=\frac{F_O}{F_I}

\rm{Mechanical advantage}=\frac{25}{250}

\rm{Mechanical advantage}=0.1

Hence the mechanical advantage of the machine will be 0.1
