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

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

292796435 seconds ≈ 300 million seconds

Explanation:

First of all, the speed of the car is 121km/h = 33.6111 m/s

The radius of the planet is given to be 7380 km = 7380000 m

From the relationship between linear velocity and angular velocity i.e., v=rw, the angular velocity of the car will be w=v/r = 33.6111/7380000 = 0.000000455 rad/s = 4.55 x 10⁻⁶ rad/sec

If the angular velocity of the vehicle about the planet's center is 9.78 times as large as the angular velocity of the planet then we have

w(vehicle) = 9.78 x w(planet)

w(planet) = w(vehicle)/9.78 = 4.55 x 10⁻⁶ / 9.78 = 4.66 x 10⁻⁷ rad/sec

To find the period of the planet's rotation; we use the equation

w(planet) = 2π÷T

Where w(planet) is the angular velocity of the planet and T is the period

From the equation T = 2π÷w = 2×(22/7) ÷  4.66 x 10⁻⁷ = 292796435 seconds

Therefore the period of the planet's motion is 292796435 seconds which is approximately 300, 000, 000 (300 million) seconds

Explanation:

Alcohol won't stimulate the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system because the fact that the brain and the nervous system are affected can lead to many consequences: disorders of vision, hearing, motor coordination ...

Alcohol will therefore have a damaging effect, it will therefore sedate the nervous system.
