An electron travels 1.92 m in 4.47 × 10−8 s. How fast is it traveling? Answer in units of m/s.

1 answer:

6 0

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance).

= (1.92 meters) / (4.47 x 10⁻⁸ second)

= 42,950,000 meters/second (rounded to the nearest 10,000 m/s)

That's about 96.1 million miles per hour, or about 14% of the speed of light.

Hi I need help with this question (see image ).

Lapatulllka [165]

Explanation:

a) <em>Fixed points</em> are the temperatures at which a thermometer is calibrated. They can refer either to the actual temperatures used for calibration, or the thermometer readings at those temperatures.

b) <em>Fundamental interval</em> is the difference between the fixed points. As with fixed points, it can refer either to the difference in actual temperature, or the difference in the corresponding thermometer readings.

Mary has a mass of 40 kg and sprints at 1 m/s. How much kinetic energy does she have?

Sav [38]

Answer:

20 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given as half of the product of mass and the square of velocity of an object:

KE = $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m = mass = 40 kg

v = velocity = 1 m/s

Hence, Mary's kinetic energy is:

KE = $\frac{1}{2} * 40 * 1^2$

KE = 20 * 1 = 20 J

She has a kinetic energy of 20 J.

The diagram shows waves of sound travelling through the air. By which factor is the sound intensity decreased at 3 meters?

SIZIF [17.4K]

The diagram is missing; however, we know that the intensity of a sound wave is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source:
$I(r)= \frac{1}{r^2}$
where I is the intensity and r is the distance from the source.

We can assume for instance that the initial distance from the source is r=1 m, so that we put
$I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(1)^2}=1$
The intensity at r=3 m will be
$I= \frac{1}{r^2}= \frac{1}{(3)^2}= \frac{1}{9}$
Therefore, the sound intensity has decreased by a factor $1/9$ .

The smallest level of organization in living things is

Advocard [28]

The smallest level of organization in living things is the atom.

Next in line would be the cell, since a cell is made up of atoms working together. Next, cells working together would make up a tissue, and further, tissues working together would make up an organ.

The radioactive 60co isotope is used in nuclear medicine to treat certain types of cancer. Calculate the wavelength and frequenc

Ivanshal [37]

1. Frequency: $3.23\cdot 10^{20} Hz$

The energy given is the energy per mole of particles:

$E=1.29\cdot 10^{11} J/mol$

1 mole contains a number of Avogadro of particles, $N_A$ , equal to

$N_A=6.022\cdot 10^{23}$ particles

So, by setting the following proportion, we can calculate the energy of a single photon:

$1.29 \cdot 10^{11} J/mol : 6.022 \cdot 10^{23} ph/mol = E_1 : 1 ph\\E_1 = \frac{(1.29\cdot 10^{11} J/mol)(1 ph)}{6.022\cdot 10^{23} ph/mol}=2.14\cdot 10^{-13} J$
