Answer:

λ₁ = 87.5 10⁻¹² m ,  λ₂ =  2.175 10⁻¹⁰ m,    E₂ = 5.8 10³ eV

Explanation:

In this case you can use the law of conservation of energy, all the energy of the electron is converted into energized emitted photons

Let's reduce to the SI system

          E₀ = 20 10³ eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1eV) = 3.2 10⁻¹⁵ J

          Δλ = 1.30 A = 0.13 nm = 0.13 10⁻⁹ m

          Ef = E₁ + E₂

         E₀ = Ef

         E₀ = E₁ + E₂

The energy can be found with the Planck equation

          E = h f

          c = λ f

          f = c / λ

          E = hc / λ

They indicate that the wavelength of the second photon is

 

           λ₂ =  λ₁ +0.130 10⁻⁹

We replace

           E₀ = hv / λ₁ + hc / ( λ₁ + 0.130 10⁺⁹)

           E₀ / hv = 1 / λ₁ + 1 / ( λ₁ + 0.13 10⁻⁹)

          3.2 10⁻¹⁵ / (6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸) = ( λ₁ + 0.13 10⁻⁹ +  λ₁) /  λ₁ ( λ₁ + 0.13 10⁻⁹)

          1.6 10¹⁰ ( λ₁² +0.13 10⁻⁹  λ₁) = 2  λ₁ + 0.13 10⁻⁹

           λ₁² + 0.13 10⁻⁹  λ₁ = 1.25 10⁻¹⁰  λ₁ + 8.125 10⁻²¹

            λ₁² + 0.005 10⁻⁹  λ₁ = 8.125 10⁻²¹

            λ₁² + 5 10⁻¹²  λ₁ - 8.125 10⁻²¹ = 0

Let's solve the second degree equation

            λ₁ = [-5 10⁻¹² ±√((5 10⁻¹²)² + 4 8.125 10⁻²¹)] / 2

    λ₁ = [-5 10⁻¹² ±√(25 10⁻²⁴ +32.5 10⁻²¹)] / 2 = [-5 10⁻¹² ±√ (32525 10⁻²⁴)] / 2

             λ₁ = [-5 10⁻¹² ± 180 10⁻¹²] / 2

            λ₁ = 87.5 10⁻¹² m

             λ₂ = -92.5 10⁻¹² m

We take the positive wavelength

The wavelength of the photons is

            λ₁ = 87.5 10⁻¹² m

            λ₂ =  λ₁ + 0.13 10⁻⁹

             λ₂ = 87.5 10⁻¹² + 0.13 10⁻⁹

             λ₂ = 0.2175 10⁻⁹ m = 2.175 10⁻¹⁰ m

The energy after the first deceleration is

            E₂ = E₀ –E₁

            E₂ = E₀ –hc / λ₁

            E₂ = 3.2 10⁻¹⁵ - 6.63 10⁺³⁴ 3 10⁸ / 87.5 10⁻¹²

            E₂ = 3.2 10⁻¹⁵ - 2.27 10⁻¹⁵

             E₂ = 0.93 10⁻¹⁵ J

             E₂ = 0.93 10⁻¹⁵ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

             E₂ = 5.8 10³ eV

A bar-magnet with magnetic moment 2.5 Am^2 is placed in a homogeneous magnetic field (of 0.1 T that is directed along the z-axis
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

1)

Force on bar magnet  = 0

Torque on bar magnet = 0

2)

Force on bar magnet  = 0

Torque on bar magnet = 0.177 Nm

3)

Force on bar magnet  = 0

Torque on bar magnet = 0.25 Nm

Explanation:

Part 1)

net force on bar magnet in uniform magnetic field is always zero

Torque on bar magnet is given as

\tau = MBsin\theta

when bar magnet is inclined along z axis along magnetic field

then we will have

\tau = MBsin0 = 0

Part 2)

net force on bar magnet in uniform magnetic field is always zero

Torque on bar magnet is given as

\tau = MBsin\theta

when bar magnet is pointing 45 degree with z axis then we will have

\tau = MBsin45

\tau = (2.5)(0.1)sin45

\tau = 0.177 Nm

Part 3)

net force on bar magnet in uniform magnetic field is always zero

Torque on bar magnet is given as

\tau = MBsin\theta

when bar magnet is pointing 90 degree with z axis then we will have

\tau = MBsin90

\tau = (2.5)(0.1)sin90

\tau = 0.25 Nm

Hooke's law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length 33.6 cm. when one end is attached to the top of a doorframe a
masha68 [24]
Missing question: "What is the spring's constant?"

Solution:
The object of mass m=6.89 kg exerts a force on the spring equal to its weight:
F=mg=(6.89 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=67.6 N
When the object is attached to the spring, the displacement of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position is
\Delta x=43.2 cm-33.6 cm=9.6 cm=0.096 m
And by using Hook's law, we can find the constant of the spring:
k= \frac{F}{\Delta x}= \frac{67.6 N}{0.096 m}=704.2 N/m

Consider a river flowing toward a lake at an average velocity of 3 m/s. the river height is 90m above the lake. what is the tota
strojnjashka [21]

Kinetic energy per unit of mass is

K=\frac{v^{2} }{2}

Given, v=3m/s^{2}

Therefore,

K=\frac{(3^{2} m/s^{2} )^2}{2}

K=4.5 J/kg

Now potential energy per unit mass is

p=g\times h

Given, h=90 m

Therefore,

p= 9.8m/s^2 \times 90

p=882.9 J/kg

Thus, total mechanical energy of the river water per unit mass is

T=K+p=(4.5+882.9)J/kg

T=887.9 J/kg

OR

T=0.887 kJ/kg
