Answer:

A)t=<u>1.375s</u>

B)t=11s

Explanation:

for this problem we will assume that the east is positive while the west is negative, what we must do is find the relative speed between the wave and the powerboat, and then with the distance find the time for each case

ecuations

V=Vw-Vp  (1)

V= relative speed

Vw= speed of wave

Vp=Speesd

t=X/V(2)

t=time

x=distance=44m

A) the powerboat moves to west

V=18-(-14)=32m/s

t=44/32=<u>1.375s</u>

B)the powerboat moves to east

V=18-14=4

t=44/4=<u>11s</u>

The maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180^\circ .
vlabodo [156]

Answer: 90\°

Explanation:

The Compton Shift \Delta \lambda in wavelength when the photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

\Delta \lambda=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)     (1)

Where:

\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m is a constant whose value is given by \frac{h}{m_{e}c}, being h the Planck constant, m_{e} the mass of the electron and c the speed of light in vacuum.

\theta) the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.

We are told the maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180\°:

\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos(180\°))     (2)

\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-(-1))    

\Delta \lambda_{max}=2\lambda_{c}     (3)

Now, let's find the angle that will produce a fourth of this maximum value found in (3):

\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{4}2\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)      (4)

\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)      (5)

If we want \frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}, 1-cos\theta   must be equal to 1:

1-cos\theta=1   (6)

Finding \theta:

1-1=cos\theta

0=cos\theta  

\theta=cos^{-1} (0)  

Finally:

\theta=90\°    This is the scattering angle that will produce \frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}

Which element easily loses one electron to form a positive ion?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer/Explanation: As mentioned above, the characteristic chemical property of a metal atom is to lose one or more of its electrons to form a positive ion. However, certain metals lose electrons much more readily than others. In particular, cesium (Cs) can give up its valence electron more easily than can lithium (Li).
