Answer:

Part a)

$a = 4.86 m/s^2$

Part b)

$d = 155.52 m$

Part c)

$v_f = 48.6 m/s$

Explanation:

As we know that car start from rest and reach to final speed of 87 mph

so we have

$v_f = 87 mph = 38.88 m/s$

now we have

Part a)

acceleration is rate of change in velocity

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}$

$a = \frac{38.88 - 0}{8}$

$a = 4.86 m/s^2$

Part b)

distance moved by car with uniform acceleration is given as

$d = \frac{v_f + v_i}{2} t$

$d = \frac{38.88 + 0}{2} 8$

$d = 155.52 m$

Part c)

As we know that the car start from rest

so final speed after t = 10 s

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = 0 + (4.86)10$

$v_f = 48.6 m/s$

A U-shaped tube open to the air at both ends contains some mercury. A quantity of water is carefully poured into the left arm of

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

a) $P=2450\ Pa$

b) $\delta h=23.162\ cm$

Explanation:

Given:

height of water in one arm of the u-tube, $h_w=25\ cm=0.25\ m$

Gauge pressure at the water-mercury interface,:

$P=\rho_w.g.h_w$

we've the density of the water $=1000\ kg.m^{-3}$

$P=1000\times 9.8\times 0.25$

$P=2450\ Pa$

Now the same pressure is balanced by the mercury column in the other arm of the tube:

$\rho_w.g.h_w=\rho_m.g.h_m$

$1000\times 9.8\times 0.25=13600\times 9.8\times h_m$

$h_m=0.01838\ m=1.838\ cm$

<u>Now the difference in the column is :</u>

$\delta h=h_w-h_m$

$\delta h=25-1.838$

$\delta h=23.162\ cm$

A photon of wavelength 2.78 pm scatters at an angle of 147° from an initially stationary, unbound electron. What is the de Brogl

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

2.07 pm

Explanation:

The problem given here is the very well known Compton effect which is expressed as

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

here, $\lambda$ is the initial photon wavelength, $\lambda^{'}$ is the scattered photon wavelength, h is he Planck's constant, $m_e$ is the free electron mass, c is the velocity of light, $\theta$ is the angle of scattering.

Given that, the scattering angle is, $\theta=147^{\circ}$

Putting the respective values, we get

$\lambda^{'}-\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} }{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 3\times 10^{8} } (1-cos147^\circ ) m\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=2.42\times 10^{-12} (1-cos147^\circ ) m.\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=2.42(1-cos147^\circ ) p.m.\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=4.45 p.m.$

Here, the photon's incident wavelength is $\lamda=2.78pm$

Therefore,

$\lambda^{'}=2.78+4.45=7.23 pm$

From the conservation of momentum,

$\vec{P_\lambda}=\vec{P_{\lambda^{'}}}+\vec{P_e}$

where, $\vec{P_\lambda}$ is the initial photon momentum, $\vec{P_{\lambda^{'}}}$ is the final photon momentum and $\vec{P_e}$ is the scattered electron momentum.

Expanding the vector sum, we get

$P^2_{e}=P^2_{\lambda}+P^2_{\lambda^{'}}-2P_\lambda P_{\lambda^{'}}cos\theta$

Now expressing the momentum in terms of De-Broglie wavelength

$P=h/\lambda,$

and putting it in the above equation we get,

$\lambda_{e}=\frac{\lambda \lambda^{'}}{\sqrt{\lambda^{2}+\lambda^{2}_{'}-2\lambda \lambda^{'} cos\theta}}$

Therefore,

$\lambda_{e}=\frac{2.78\times 7.23}{\sqrt{2.78^{2}+7.23^{2}-2\times 2.78\times 7.23\times cos147^\circ }} pm\\\lambda_{e}=\frac{20.0994}{9.68} = 2.07 pm$
