Answer:

1.4 m/s

Explanation:

The minimum speed will be when the diver's initial velocity is horizontal.

First, find the time it takes for the diver to fall 10 meters.

Given:

Δy = 10 m

v₀ᵧ = 0 m/s

aᵧ = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

10 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 1.43 s

Now find the initial horizontal velocity.

v = (2 m) / (1.43 s)

v = 1.4 m/s

Infrared, visible light, then ultraviolet. Infrared is light that the human eye can not see and visible light is clearly light we can see then ultraviolet is has such a high frequency we can't see it either.

Classify the type of plate boundary where the appalachian mountains formed . how have they changed since their formation
disa [49]
<span>The Appalachian Mountains were formed when colliding tectonic plates folded and upthrust, mainly during the Permian Period and again in the Cretaceous Period. The folds and thrusts were then eroded and carved by wind, streams and glaciers. These erosive processes are ongoing, and the topography of the Appalachian Mountains continue to change. They have changed with the miles of land that are cleared of all vegetation and topsoil. In the 1970's coal miners literally blow away the top of a mountain to get to the coal underneath.</span>

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
