As an object rolls downhill, some of the energy is

When the object is at the top of the hill it has the most potential energy. If it is sitting still, it has no kinetic energy. As the object begins to roll down the hill, it loses potential energy, but gains kinetic energy. The potential energy of the position of the object at the top of the hill is getting converted into kinetic energy. Hope this helped. :)

Well this is kind of a trick question. When the object is still before it rolls downhill it is potential. But as the object is rolling down the hill, it is kinetic energy. So, I believe your answer would be kinetic since it doesn't specify everything that's happening.

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

What would be the daughter product of the beta decay of lead-212 and what would be the daughter product of the alpha decay of po
kati45 [8]

Answer:

lead with Z = 82 is transformed into Bismuth with Z = 73

The Po with Z = 84 becomes Pb with Z = 82

Explanation:

Beta decay occurs when a neutron emits an electron and an anti neutrino from the atomic nucleus, therefore the atomic number of the material increases by one unit.

           Pb + e + ν → Bi

lead with Z = 82 is transformed into Bismuth with Z = 73

In alpha decay, a helium nucleus is emitted from the nucleus of the atom, therefore the atomic number decreases by two units.

         Po +α → Pb

The Po with Z = 84 becomes Pb with Z = 82

Select the correct answer.
natali 33 [55]

The wave speed completely depends on the characteristics and properties of the medium  . . . physical properties for mechanical waves, electrical properties for electromagnedtic waves.

So if you want to change the speed of a wave, you have to change the medium . . . shoot it through some different kind of stuff. <em>(B) </em>

A hammer slides down a roof that makes a 30.0°angle with the horizontal. What are the magnitudes of the components of the hammer
dlinn [17]
<h2>Answer:7.14ms^{-1},4.125ms^{-1}</h2>

Explanation:

Whenever an object is moving in a 2D frame,its motion can be analysed as if it is travelling in two independent 1D frames.

One of such independent 1D frames are along horizontal and another along vertical.

Let v be the total velocity.

Given that,v=8.25ms^{-1}

We call the horizontal velocity as v_{h} and the vertical velocity as v_{v}.

v_{h}=vCos\alpha

v_{v}=vSin\alpha

where \alpha is the angle between the object and horizontal.

It is given that \alpha =30^{0}

v_{h}=8.25\times Cos(30^{0})=7.14ms^{-1}

v_{v}=8.25\times Sin(30^{0})=4.125ms^{-1}
