A photon is absorbed by an electron that is in the n = 3 state of a hydrogen atom, causing the hydrogen atom to become ionized.

Very far away from the nucleus, the released electron has a velocity of 750,000 m/s. What was the wavelength of the absorbed photon?

Answer:

\lambda=3.99*10^{-7}m

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, the energy of the absorbed photon must be equal to the binding energy of the electron plus the energy of the released electron:

E_p=E_b+E_r\\\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{13.6eV}{n^2}+\frac{m_ev^2}{2}

1 eV is equal to 1.6*10^{-19}J, so:

13.6eV*\frac{1.6*10^{-19}J}{1eV}=2.18*10^{-18}J

Solving for \lambda and replacing the given values:

\lambda=\frac{hc}{\frac{2.18*10^{-18}J}{n^2}+\frac{m_ev^2}{2}}\\\lambda=\frac{6.63*10^{-134}J\cdot s(3*10^8\frac{m}{s})}{\frac{2.18*10^{-18}J}{3^2}+\frac{(9.11*10^{-31}kg)(7.5*10^5\frac{m}{s})^2}{2}}\\\lambda=3.99*10^{-7}m

A stretched string has a mass per unit length of 5.40 g/cm and a tension of 17.5 N. A sinusoidal wave on this string has an ampl
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Part a)

y_m = 0.157 mm

part b)

k = 101.8 rad/m

Part c)

\omega = 579.3 rad/s

Part d)

here since wave is moving in negative direction so the sign of \omega must be positive

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of wave in string is given by

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{m/L}}

so we have

T = 17.5 N

m/L = 5.4 g/cm = 0.54 kg/m

now we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{17.5}{0.54}}

v = 5.69 m/s

now we have

Part a)

y_m = amplitude of wave

y_m = 0.157 mm

part b)

k = \frac{\omega}{v}

here we know that

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi(92.2) = 579.3 rad/s

so we  have

k = \frac{579.3}{5.69}

k = 101.8 rad/m

Part c)

\omega = 579.3 rad/s

Part d)

here since wave is moving in negative direction so the sign of \omega must be positive

A 100-N force causes an object to<br> accelerate at 2 m/s/s. What is the<br> mass of the object?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

50\; \rm kg.

Explanation:

By Newton's Second Law, the acceleration a of an object is proportional to the net force \sum F on it. In particular, if the mass of the object is m, then

\sum F = m \cdot a.

Rewrite this equation to obtain:

\displaystyle m = \frac{\sum F}{a}.

In this case, the assumption is that the 100\; \rm N force is the only force that is acting on the object. Hence, the net force \sum F on the object would also be

Make sure that all values are in their standard units. Forces should be in Newtons (same as \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2}, and the acceleration of the object should be in meters-per-second-squared (\rm m \cdot s^{-2}). Apply the equation \displaystyle m = \frac{\sum F}{a} to find the mass of the object.

\displaystyle m = \frac{100\; \rm N}{2\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}} = 50\; \rm kg.
