Answer:

Given the speed of the 0.500c, the spacecraft is spherical.

Explanation:

The length of an object is contracted in the direction of the motion. It can be visualize that if a spherical body is contracted along a particular axial direction then the shape of the spherical body is seem to be in shape of a pillow, similarly the spherical spacecraft moves away and seems to be contracted along the direction of motion, so it becomes a round shape flattened along the direction of motion.

A beam of electrons passes through a single slit, and a beam of protons passes through a second, but identical, slit. The electr
ryzh [129]

Answer:

(b) The electrons, because they have the smaller momentum and, hence, the larger de Broglie wavelength

Explanation:

de Broglie wavelength λ = h / m v

Since both electrons and protons have same velocity , momentum mv will be less for electrons because mass of electron is less .

for electron , momentum is less so  . Therefore de Broglie wavelength λ will be more for electrons .

Amount of diffraction that is angle of diffraction is proportional to λ

Therefore electrons having greater de Broglie wavelength will show greater diffraction.

How many electrons flow through a point in a wire in 7.00 s if there is a constant current of I = 4.35 A?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

1.90×10²⁰ Electrons

Explanation:

From the question,

Q = It.................... Equation 1

Where Q = charge flowing through the wire, I = current, t = time

Given: I = 4.35 A, t = 7.00 s

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 4.35(7.00)

Q = 30.45 C.

But,

1 electron contains 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ C

therefore,

30.45 C = 30.45/1.6×10⁻¹⁹  electrons

= 1.90×10²⁰ Electrons
