Additional Work done to stretch the spring 0.4m is 6.4J

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u></u>

Given -

Work done to stretch a spring, W1 = 8J

Distance , d = 0.5m

Distance2, x = 0.4m

Work done 2, W2 = ?

Using Hooke's law,

Work done = k x

where k is spring constant

For distance 0.5m :

8 J = k X 0.5m

k = 8/0.5 = 16 J/m

For distance 0.4m:

W2 = 16 X 0.4 J

W2 = 6.4J

Additional Work done to stretch the spring 0.4m is 6.4J

A student's life was saved in an automobile accident because an airbag expanded in front of his head. If the car had not been eq

dexar [7]

Answer:

Compared to windshield the airbag exerts much lesser force

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as change in momentum of the object when it is acted upon by a force during interval of time

<em>Impulse = Impulsive force *time</em>

I = F*Δt

If the object should be bought to rest from certain velocity there should be change in momentum. If the duration in which the momentum is increased then there would be less force applied and hence less damage.

Airbags are used to reduce the force experience by the people when they are met with accident by extending the time required to stop the momentum.

During the collision, the passenger is carried towards the<em> windshield</em> and if they are stopped by collision with wind shield the force will be larger and more damage.But if they are hit with airbag then the force will be less due to increased time.

The change is momentum will be the same with or without momentum but its the time that decides the impact of force.By making it longer the force become less.

<em>Thus compared to the windshield the airbag exerts much lesser force.</em>

An electron and a proton each have a thermal kinetic energy of 3kBT/2. Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of each particle at a

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Given:

Thermal Kinetic Energy of an electron, $KE_{t} = \frac{3}{2}k_{b}T$

$k_{b} = 1.38\times 10^{- 23} J/k$ = Boltzmann's constant

Temperature, T = 1800 K

Solution:

Now, to calculate the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron, $\lambda_{e}$ :

$\lambda_{e} = \frac{h}{p_{e}}$

$\lambda_{e} = \frac{h}{m_{e}{v_{e}}$ (1)

where

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{- 34}m^{2}kg/s$

$p_{e}$ = momentum of an electron

$v_{e}$ = velocity of an electron

$m_{e} = 9.1\times 10_{- 31} kg$ = mass of electon

Now,

Kinetic energy of an electron = thermal kinetic energy

$\frac{1}{2}m_{e}v_{e}^{2} = \frac{3}{2}k_{b}T$

$}v_{e} = \sqrt{2\frac{\frac{3}{2}k_{b}T}{m_{e}}}$

$}v_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{3\times 1.38\times 10^{- 23}\times 1800}{9.1\times 10_{- 31}}}$

$v_{e} = 2.86\times 10^{5} m/s$ (2)

Using eqn (2) in (1):

$\lambda_{e} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}}{9.1\times 10_{- 31}\times 2.86\times 10^{5}} = 2.55 nm$

Now, to calculate the de-Broglie wavelength of proton, $\lambda_{e}$ :

$\lambda_{p} = \frac{h}{p_{p}}$

$\lambda_{p} = \frac{h}{m_{p}{v_{p}}$ (3)

where

$m_{p} = 1.6726\times 10_{- 27} kg$ = mass of proton

$v_{p}$ = velocity of an proton

Now,

Kinetic energy of a proton = thermal kinetic energy

$\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v_{p}^{2} = \frac{3}{2}k_{b}T$

$}v_{p} = \sqrt{2\frac{\frac{3}{2}k_{b}T}{m_{p}}}$

$}v_{p} = \sqrt{\frac{3\times 1.38\times 10^{- 23}\times 1800}{1.6726\times 10_{- 27}}}$

$v_{p} = 6.674\times 10^{3} m/s$ (4)

Using eqn (4) in (3):

$\lambda_{p} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}}{1.6726\times 10_{- 27}\times 6.674\times 10^{3}} = 5.94\times 10^{- 11} m = 0.0594 nm$
