Answer:

500 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of wave = Frequency × Wavelength

Speed of wave = 50 Hz × 10 m

Therefore the speed is 500 m/s

X-rays with an energy of 300 keV undergo Compton scattering from a target. If the scattered rays are detected at 30 relative to

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

a) $\Delta \lambda = \lambda' -\lambda_o = \frac{h}{m_e c} (1-cos \theta)$

For this case we know the following values:

$h = 6.63 x10^{-34} Js$

$m_e = 9.109 x10^{-31} kg$

$c = 3x10^8 m/s$

$\theta = 37$

So then if we replace we got:

$\Delta \lambda = \frac{6.63x10^{-34} Js}{9.109 x10^{-31} kg *3x10^8 m/s} (1-cos 37) = 4.885x10^{-13} m * \frac{1m}{1x10^{-15} m}= 488.54 fm$

b) $\lambda_0 = \frac{hc}{E_0}$

With $E_0 = 300 k eV= 300000 eV$

And replacing we have:

$\lambda_0 = \frac{1240 x10^{-9} eV m}{300000eV}=4.13 x10^{-12}m = 4.12 pm$

And then the scattered wavelength is given by:

$\lambda ' = \lambda_0 + \Delta \lambda = 4.13 + 0.489 pm = 4.619 pm$

And the energy of the scattered photon is given by:

$E' = \frac{hc}{\lambda'}= \frac{1240x10^{-9} eVm}{4.619x10^{-12} m}=268456.37 eV - 268.46 keV$

c) $E_f = E_0 -E' = 300 -268.456 kev = 31.544 keV$

Explanation

Part a

For this case we can use the Compton shift equation given by:

$\Delta \lambda = \lambda' -\lambda_0 = \frac{h}{m_e c} (1-cos \theta)$

For this case we know the following values:

$h = 6.63 x10^{-34} Js$

$m_e = 9.109 x10^{-31} kg$

$c = 3x10^8 m/s$

$\theta = 37$

So then if we replace we got:

$\Delta \lambda = \frac{6.63x10^{-34} Js}{9.109 x10^{-31} kg *3x10^8 m/s} (1-cos 37) = 4.885x10^{-13} m * \frac{1m}{1x10^{-15} m}= 488.54 fm$

Part b

For this cas we can calculate the wavelength of the phton with this formula:

$\lambda_0 = \frac{hc}{E_0}$

With $E_0 = 300 k eV= 300000 eV$

And replacing we have:

$\lambda_0 = \frac{1240 x10^{-9} eV m}{300000eV}=4.13 x10^{-12}m = 4.12 pm$

And then the scattered wavelength is given by:

$\lambda ' = \lambda_0 + \Delta \lambda = 4.13 + 0.489 pm = 4.619 pm$

And the energy of the scattered photon is given by:

$E' = \frac{hc}{\lambda'}= \frac{1240x10^{-9} eVm}{4.619x10^{-12} m}=268456.37 eV - 268.46 keV$

Part c

For this case we know that all the neergy lost by the photon neds to go into the recoiling electron so then we have this:

$E_f = E_0 -E' = 300 -268.456 kev = 31.544 keV$

A burglar attempts to drag a 108 kg metal safe across a polished wood floor Assume that the coefficient of static friction is 0.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

2.00 m/s²

Explanation:

Given

The Mass of the metal safe, M = 108kg

Pushing force applied by the burglar, F = 534 N

Co-efficient of kinetic friction, $\mu_k$ = 0.3

Now,

The force against the kinetic friction is given as:

$f = \mu_k N = u_k Mg$

Where,

N = Normal reaction

g= acceleration due to the gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

$f = 0.3\times108\times9.8$

$f = 317.52N$

Now, the net force on to the metal safe is

$F_{Net}= F-f$

Substituting the values in the equation we get

$F_{Net}= 534N-317.52N$

$F_{Net}= 216.48$

also,

$F_{Net}= M\times$ acceleration of the safe

Therefore, the acceleration of the metal safe will be

acceleration of the safe= $\frac{F_{Net}}{M}$

acceleration of the safe= $\frac{216.48}{108}$

acceleration of the safe= $2.00 m/s^2$

Hence, the acceleration of the metal safe will be 2.00 m/s²

(20) A rocket is launched vertically. At time t = 0 seconds, the rocket’s engine shuts down. At the time, the rocket has reached

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

h(t) = -9.8t² / 2 + 125t + 500

for t > 0.

At t = 0, the rocket is at height h = 500m, at a velocity of Vo = 125m/s.

We want to find the maximum height reached by rocket

Using mathematics maxima and minima

let find the turning point when dh/dt = 0

dh/dt = -9.8t + 125

dh / dt = 0 = -9.8t + 125

9.8t = 125

t = 125 / 9.8

t = 12.76s

Let find the turning point to know if this time t = 12.76 is maximum or minimum point

Let find d²h / dt²

d²h / dt² = -9.8

Since, d²h/dt² < 0, then, at t = 12.76s is the maximum points.

Then, the maximum height reached is

h = -9.8t² / 2 + 125t + 500

h = -9.8(12.76)² / 2 + 125(12.76) + 500

h = -797.80 + 1595 + 500

h = 1297.2 m

The maximum height reached is 1297.2 m

From the attachment, the maximum height is 1297.2m at t = 12.76sec.

Comment, the result are the same for both the analysis aspect and the graphical aspect.
