Answer : The de-Broglie wavelength of this electron, 0.101\AA

Explanation :

The formula used for kinetic energy is,

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2        ..........(1)

According to de-Broglie, the expression for wavelength is,

\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}

or,

v=\frac{h}{m\lambda}      ...........(2)

Now put the equation (2) in equation (1), we get:

\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2\times m\times K.E}}  ...........(3)

where,

\lambda = wavelength = ?

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

m = mass of electron = 9.11\times 10^{-31}Kg

K.E = kinetic energy = 4.71\times 10^{-15}J

Now put all the given values in the above formula (3), we get:

\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}Js}{\sqrt{2\times 9.11\times 10^{-31}Kg\times 4.71\times 10^{-15}J}}

\lambda=1.0115\times 10^{-11}m=0.101\AA

conversion used : (1\AA=10^{-10}m)

Therefore, the de-Broglie wavelength of this electron, 0.101\AA

Two uniform solid cylinders, each rotating about its central (longitudinal) axis, have the same mass of 3.56 kg and rotate with
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

(a) 3107.98 J

(b) 14530.6 J

Explanation:

mass, m = 3.56 kg

angular speed, ω = 179 rad/s

Moment of inertia of solid cylinder, I = 1/2 mr^2

where, m is the mass and r be the radius of the cylinder.

(a) radius, r = 0.330 m

I = 0.5 x 3.56 x 0.330 x 0.330 = 0.194 kgm^2

The formula for the rotational kinetic energy is given by

K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega ^{2}

K = 0.5 x 0.194 x 179 x 179 = 3107.98 J

(b) radius, r = 0.714 m

I = 0.5 x 3.56 x 0.714 x 0.714 = 0.907 kgm^2

The formula for the rotational kinetic energy is given by

K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega ^{2}

K = 0.5 x 0.907 x 179 x 179 = 14530.6 J

How does increasing the starting height affect the final speed?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

To investigate into how the height of a ramp affects the speed of a toy car rolled down a hill or slope because the higher the ramp the more Gravitational potential Energy (GPE), the more kinetic energy converted and the car will go faster. So the ramp increases, the velocity will also increase.

mylen [45]

When the light falls on a soap bubble spread on a water puddle, and a spectrum of color is observed due to constructive and destructive of light waves which means option (3) is correct. Light waves interfere into each other to produce a spectrum which consists of bright and dark fringes.

A sample of hydrated calcium sulfate has a mass of 20.88 g. After it is heated, it has a mass of 16.51 g. What is the percentage
STALIN [3.7K]
We know that when you heat up calcium sulfate all the water has evaporated from it. That means that the mass of water that was initially in the sulfate is the difference in mass of the sulfate before and after the heating.
m{_H__20}=20.88-16.51=4.37g
In order to <span>get a percentage by mass we simply divide this number by the initial amount of sulfate:
</span>\%_{H__2}O=\frac{4.37}{20.88}=20.93\%<span>
