Answer:

  • <u><em>(b) 1:1</em></u>

Explanation:

<u></u>

<u>1. Formulae:</u>

  • E = hf  
  • E = h.v/λ
  • λ = h/(mv)
  • E = (1/2)mv²

Where:

  • E = kinetic energy of the particle
  • λ = de-Broglie wavelength
  • m = mass of the particle
  • v = speed of the particle
  • h = Planck constant

<u><em>2. Reasoning</em></u>

An alha particle contains 2 neutrons and 2 protons, thus its mass number is 4.

A proton has mass number 1.

Thus, the relative masses of an alpha particle and a proton are:

       \dfrac{m_\alpha}{m_p}=4

For the kinetic energies you find:

          \dfrac{E_\alpha}{E_p}=\dfrac{m_\alpha \times v_\alpha^2}{m_p\times v_p^2}

            \dfrac{1eV}{4eV}=\dfrac{4\times v_\alpha^2}{1\times v_p^2}\\\\\\\dfrac{v_p^2}{v_\alpha^2}=16\\\\\\\dfrac{v_p}{v_\alpha}=4

Thus:

           \dfrac{m_\alpha}{m_p}=4=\dfrac{v_p}{v__\alpha}

          m_\alpha v_\alpha=m_pv_p

From de-Broglie equation, λ = h/(mv)  

       \dfrac{\lambda_p}{\lambda_\alpha}=\dfrac{m_\lambda v_\lambda}{m_pv_p}=\dfrac{1}{1}=1:1

a golfer hits a golf ball with a velocity of 36.0 meters/second at an angle of 28.0. if the hang time of the golf ball is 33.4 s
Kobotan [32]
Solving this using the time, we know that range = horizontal velocity x time of flight 

since there are no horizontal forces acting on the ball, there are no horizontal accelerations and the initial horizontal velocity of 36 cos 28 will be constant throughout. If we use the correct time of flight given the launch parameters, we have 

range = 36 cos 28 x 3.44 s = 109.3 m

A long copper rod of diameter 2.0 cm is initially at a uniform temperature of 100°C. It is now exposed to an air stream at 20°C
Lisa [10]

Answer:

t = 4.0 min

Explanation:

given data:

diameter of rod = 2 cm

T_1 = 100 degree celcius

Air stream temperature =  20 degree celcius

heat transfer coefficient = 200 W/m2. K

WE KNOW THAT

copper thermal conductivity = k = 401 W/m °C

copper specific heat Cp = 385 J/kg.°C

density of copper = 8933 kg/m3

charateristic length is given as Lc

Lc = \frac{V}{A_s}

Lc = \frac{\frac{\pi D^2}{4} L}{\pi DL}

Lc = \frac{D}{4}

Lc = \frac{0.02}{6} = 0.005 m

Biot number is given as Bi = \frac{hLc}{k}

Bi = \frac{200*0.005}{401}

Bi = 0.0025

As Bi is greater than 0.1 therefore lumped system analysis is applicable

so we have

\frac{T(t) - T_∞}{Ti - T_∞} = e^{-bt} ............1

where b is given as

b = \frac{ hA}{\rho Cp V}

b = \frac{ h}{\rho Cp Lc}

b = \frac{200}{8933*385*0.005}

b = 0.01163 s^{-1}

putting value in equation 1

\frac{25-20}{100-20} = e^{-0.01163t}

solving for t we get

t = 4.0 min
