If you ignore air resistance after an initial force launches a projectile, name all forces acting on it as it moves through the

air. What does this force cause the object to do?

Answer:

Neglecting air resistance, the only force acting on a projectile is gravity.

This force causes the object to accelerate.

Explanation:

As a projectile moves upward, there is a downward force and a downward acceleration due to force of gravity. That is, as the object is moving upward, force of gravity acting on the projectile is causing a steady slowing down of the projectile.

Hence, Gravity is the downward force upon a projectile that influences its vertical motion and causes the parabolic trajectory that is characteristic of projectiles.

From Newton's law of motion, it suggest that force is required to cause an acceleration and not motion. Therefore, force of gravity causes the object to accelerate downwards.

An electron has a kinetic energy of 3.00 ev. find its wavelength. (b) what if? a photon has energy 3.00 ev. find its wavelength.
Harman [31]
(a) The electron kinetic energy is
K=3.00 eV
which can be converted into Joule by keeping in mind that
1 eV=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}eV
So that we find
K=3.00 eV \cdot 1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} eV/J =4.8 \cdot 10^{-19}J

The kinetic energy of the electron is related to its momentum p by:
K= \frac{p^2}{2m}
where m is the electron mass. Re-arranging the equation, we find
p= \sqrt{ 2Km}= \sqrt{ 2  ( 4.8 \cdot 10^{-19} J)(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg) } =9.35 \cdot 10^{-25} kgm/s

And now we can use De Broglie's relationship to find its wavelength:
\lambda= \frac{h}{p}= \frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{9.35 \cdot 10^{-25} kg m/s} =7.06 \cdot 10^{-10}m
where h is the Planck constant.


(b) By using the same procedure of part (a), we can convert the photon energy into Joules:
E=3.00 eV \cdot 1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} eV/J =4.8 \cdot 10^{-19}J

The energy of a photon is related to its frequency f by:
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant. Re-arranging the equation, we find
f= \frac{E}{h}= \frac{4.8 \cdot 10^{-19} J}{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js} =7.27 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

And now we can use the relationship between frequency f, speed of light c and wavelength \lambda of a photon, to find its wavelength:
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{7.27 \cdot 10^{14} Hz} =4.13 \cdot 10^{-7} m

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

1058.78 ft/sec

Explanation:

Horizontal Component of Velocity; This is the velocity of a body that act on the horizontal axis. I.e Velocity along x-axis

The horizontal velocity of a body can be calculated as shown below.\

Vh = Vcos∅.......................... Equation 1

Where Vh = horizontal component of the velocity, V = The velocity acting between the horizontal and the vertical axis, ∅ = Angle the velocity make with the horizontal.

Given: V = 1178 ft/sec, ∅ = 26°

Substitute into equation 1

Vh = 1178cos26

Vh = 1178(0.8988)

Vh = 1058.78 ft/sec

Hence the horizontal component of the velocity = 1058.78 ft/sec
