Answer:

0.15 mV

Explanation:

In order to exhibit wave nature, the de Broglie wavelength of the electron must be of the same size of the diameter of the pinhole, therefore:

\lambda=0.10 \mu m = 1.0\cdot 10^{-7} m

The de Broglie wavelength of an electron is

\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}

where

h=6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js is the Planck constant

m=9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg is the mass of the electron

v is the electron's speed

Therefore, the electron's speed must be

v=\frac{h}{m\lambda}=\frac{6.63\cdot 10^{-34}}{(9.11\cdot 10^{-31})(1.0\cdot 10^{-7})}=7278 m/s

When accelerated through a potential difference \Delta V, the kinetic energy gained by the electron is equal to the change in electric potential energy, therefore

e\Delta V = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} is the magnitude of the charge of the electron

So, we can find the potential difference needed:

\Delta V=\frac{mv^2}{2e}=\frac{(9.11\cdot 10^{-31})(7278)^2}{2(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})}=1.5\cdot 10^{-4}V = 0.15 mV

Instruments in an airplane which is in level flight indicate that the velocity relative to the air (airspeed) is 180.00 km/h and
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The coordinate axis is situated in the east and north direction.

So, the north will be the  y-axis and the east will be the x-axis

Similarly, the velocity of the plane in regard to the air in the coordinate system will be v_{P/A} = v( cos \theta \ i + sin \theta \ j)

where:

v_{P/A} = velocity of the plane in regard to the air

v = velocity

θ =  angle of inclination of the plane with respect to the horizontal

replacing v = 180 km/ and θ = 20° in above equation, then:

The velocity of the airplane in the coordinate system as:

v_{P} = v_o( cos \phi \ i + sin \phi \ j)

where;

v_p = velocity of the airplane

v_o = velocity

∅ = angle of inclination with regard to the base axis;

Then; replacing  v_o  = 150 km/h and ∅ = 30°

Therefore, the velocity of the plane in the system is :

v_p = v_A + v_{P/A}

v_A=  v_P  -v_{P/A}   --- (1)

v_A= ( 150 cos 30° - 180 cos 20°)i + ( 150 sin 30° - 180sin 20°)j

v_A= (-39.24 km/h)i + (13.44 km/h) j

The magnitude is:

v_A= (-39.24 km/h)i + (13.44 km/h) j

|v_A|^2 = \sqrt{ (-39.24 km/h)^2+ (13.44 km/h)^2}

v_A = 41.48 km/h

The airplane is moving at an angle of the inverse tangent to the abscissa and ordinate.

The angle of motion is:

tan θ = 39.24/13.44

tan θ = 2.9

θ  = tan ^{-1} (2.9)

θ  =  70.97°

The angle of motion is  70.97° from west of north with a velocity of 41.48 km/h.

An astronaut floating in space throws a wrench forward with the force of 10 N.
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

10N

Explanation:

1. Every Action has an equal and opposite reAction.

2. If 10N of force is acted upon an wrench, then the wrench will react with an equal amount of force, but in the opposite direction.

A man runs 1200m on a straight line in 4 min . find his velocity.
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

5m/sec^2

Explanation:

Distance=1200m

Time=4 min

1=60sec

4=4 x 60

=240sec

Velocity=Distance/Time

Velocity=1200/240

Velocity=5m/sec^2
