On Earth, gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the downwsrd speed of any falling object, every second. Beginning from zero downward speed, the speed grows to (8 x 9.8) = 78.4 m/s downward after 8 sec.

Suppose the half-life of an element is 10 years. How many half-lives will it take before only about 6% of the original sample re
sergiy2304 [10]
You don't need to worry about the 10 year bit with this question. Just grab a calculator and divide 100/2, then the answer to that (50) by 2 etc and keep dividing by 2 until you get down to 6.25.

The answer ends up being 4 half lives :)

If you don't understand what a half life is please let me know :)

X rays of wavelength 0.0169 nm are directed in the positive direction of an x axis onto a target containing loosely bound electr
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

a) 4.04*10^-12m

b) 0.0209nm

c) 0.253MeV

Explanation:

The formula for Compton's scattering is given by:

\Delta \lambda=\lambda_f-\lambda_i=\frac{h}{m_oc}(1-cos\theta)

where h is the Planck's constant, m is the mass of the electron and c is the speed of light.

a) by replacing in the formula you obtain the Compton shift:

\Delta \lambda=\frac{6.62*10^{-34}Js}{(9.1*10^{-31}kg)(3*10^8m/s)}(1-cos132\°)=4.04*10^{-12}m

b) The change in photon energy is given by:

\Delta E=E_f-E_i=h\frac{c}{\lambda_f}-h\frac{c}{\lambda_i}=hc(\frac{1}{\lambda_f}-\frac{1}{\lambda_i})\\\\\lambda_f=4.04*10^{-12}m +\lambda_i=4.04*10^{-12}m+(0.0169*10^{-9}m)=2.09*10^{-11}m=0.0209nm

c) The electron Compton wavelength is 2.43 × 10-12 m. Hence you can use the Broglie's relation to compute the momentum of the electron and then the kinetic energy.

P=\frac{h}{\lambda_e}=\frac{6.62*10^{-34}Js}{2.43*10^{-12}m}=2.72*10^{-22}kgm\\

E_e=\frac{p^2}{2m_e}=\frac{(2.72*10^{-22}kgm)^2}{2(9.1*10^{-31}kg)}=4.06*10^{-14}J\\\\1J=6.242*10^{18}eV\\\\E_e=4.06*10^{-14}(6.242*10^{18}eV)=0.253MeV

Which is likely to be more common in our Galaxy: white dwarfs or black holes? Why?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

White dwarfs are likely to be much more common. The number of stars decreases with increasing mass, and only the most massive stars are likely to complete their lives as black holes. There are many more stars of the masses appropriate for evolution to a white dwarf.

Which descriptions best fit the labels? X: kinetic energy Y: potential energy X: potential energy Y: kinetic energy X: mechanica
Pani-rosa [81]
W-APE. For example, work W done to accelerate a positive charge from rest is positive and results from a loss in PE, or a negative APE. There must be a minus sign in front of APE to make W positive. PE can be found at any point by taking one point as a reference and calculating the work needed to move a charge to the other point.

( The capital A’s in the words are supposed to be triangles ! I also hoped this helped ! Please mark me as brainliest !! )

Two bodies of masses 1000kg and 2000kg are separated 1km which is the gravitational force between them
denpristay [2]

Answer:

1.33×10⁻¹⁰ N

Explanation:

F = GMm / r²

where G is the gravitational constant,

M and m are the masses of the objects,

and r is the distance between them.

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ N/m²/kg²) (1000 kg) (2000 kg) / (1000 m)²

F = 1.33×10⁻¹⁰ N
