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 97.1 kg horizontal circular platform rotates freely with no friction about its center at an initial angular velocity of 1.63 r
sammy [17]

Answer:

the final angular velocity of the platform with its load is 1.0356 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of circular platform m = 97.1 kg

Initial angular velocity of platform ω₀ = 1.63 rad/s

mass of banana m_{b} = 8.97 kg

at distance r = 4/5  { radius of platform }

mass of monkey m_{m} = 22.1 kg

at edge = R

R = 1.73 m

now since there is No external Torque

Angular momentum will be conserved, so;

mR²/2 × ω₀ = [ mR²/2 + m_{b} (\frac{4}{5} R)² + m_{m}R² ]w

m/2 × ω₀ = [ m/2 + m_{b} (\frac{4}{5} )² + m_{m} ]w

we substitute

w = 97.1/2 × 1.63 / ( 97.1/2 + 8.97(16/25) + 22.1

w = 48.55 × [ 1.63 / ( 48.55 + 5.7408 + 22.1 )

w = 48.55 × [ 1.63 / ( 76.3908 ) ]

w = 48.55 × 0.02133

w = 1.0356 rad/s

Therefore; the final angular velocity of the platform with its load is 1.0356 rad/s

In which city did the wright brothers take off on their very first flight
Nezavi [6.7K]
<h2>Answer: Kitty Hawk, North Carolina </h2>

The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, were pioneers of aviation, since they flew in a device heavier than air, which was inconceivable at that time.

Their first successful flight was on December 17th, 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, which lasted only 12 seconds in which their plane (the Flyer I, with 341 kg, 6.4 m long and a wingspan of 12.3 m) traveled 37 m without touching the ground. This was achieved through the help of an external catapult that "threw" them into the air.

It should be noted that the Wright brothers only studied until high school, however, their passion for solving the problem of the human inability to fly, their perseverance and experience acquired over the years in their bicycle company, led them to reach that goal. An achievement that marked the beginning of the  aviation era.

Bob walks 370 m south, then jogs 410 m southwest, then walks 370 m in a direction 28 degrees east of north.
wlad13 [49]
We will measure all angles from West, the negative x-axis and divide the journey into 3 parts:
P1 = 370y
P2 = 410cos(45)x + 410sin(45)y = 290x + 290y
P3 = 370cos(270 - 28)x + 370sin(270 - 28) = -174x - 327y

Overall displacement:
x = 290 - 174 = 116 m
y = 370 + 290 - 327 = 333 m

displacement = √(116² + 333²)
= 353 m

Direction:
tan(∅) = y/x
∅ = tan⁻¹ (333 / 116)
∅ = 70.8° from West.

Neglecting air resistance, what maximum height will be reached by an arrow launched straight upward with an initial speed of 35
tankabanditka [31]
The velocity at the maximum height will always be 0. Therefore, you will count your final velocity as 0, and your initial velocity as 35 m/s. Next, we know that the acceleration will be 9.8 m/s^2. How? Because the ball is thrown directly upward, and the only force acting on it will be the force of gravity pushing it back down.

The formula we use is h = (Vf^2 - Vi^2) / (2*-9.8m/s^2)

Plugging everything in, we have h = (0-1225)/(19.6) = 62.5 meters is the maximum height.
