Answer:

λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m

Explanation:

In a double-slit interference experiment, the distance y of the maximum of order m from the center of the observed interference pattern on the screen is given as ;

y = mλD/d

Where;

D is the distance of the screen from the slits = 6.2 m

d is the distance between the two slits = 0.046 mm = 0.046 x 10^(-3) m

The fringes on the screen are 8.9 cm = 0.089 m apart from each other, this means that the first maximum (m=1) is located at y = 0.089 m from the center of the pattern.

Therefore, from the previous formula we can find the wavelength of the light:

y = mλD/d

So, λ = dy/mD

Thus,

λ = (0.046 x 10^(-3) x 0.089)/(1 x 6.2)

λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m

A free electron is moving with a velocity of 3 × 105 m/s. It strikes a stationary electron in a head-on elastic collision. The m
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

After the colision, the stationary electron's momentum is given as:

P = 2.7328 x 10^(-25) kg m/s

The direction of momentum is the same as the direction of velocity of the electron.

Explanation:

In an Isolated system, when an object moving at some velocity v collides head on with a stationary object of equal mass. There velocities are exchanged.

This means that the first electron will become stationary and the electron which was stationary initially will start moving at a velocity of 3*10^(5)m/s in the same direction as the first electron.

Post collision momentum of the stationary electron:

V = 3 x 10^5 m/s

m = 9.1093 x 10^(-31) kg

Momentum = P = mV =  9.1093 x 10^(-31) x 3 x 10^5

P = 2.7328 x 10^(-25) kg m/s

The direction of momentum is the same as the velocity of the electron.

You are traveling along a freeway at 65 mi/h. You suddenly skid to a stop because of congestion in traffic. Where is the energy
sergey [27]

The work and energy theorem allows finding the result for where the kinetic energy of the car is before stopping is:

    The energy becomes:

  • An important part in work on discs.
  • A part in non-conservative work due to friction.

Work is defined by the scalar product of force and displacement.

          W = F . d

Where the bold indicate vectors, W is work, F is force and d is displacement.

The work energy theorem relates work and kinetic energy.

            W = ΔK = K_f - K_o

In this case the vehicle stops therefore its final kinetic energy is zero, consequently the work is:  

          W = - K₀

Therefore, the initial kinetic energy that the car has is converted into work in its brakes.  In reality, if assuming that there is friction, an important part is transformed into non-conservative work of the friction force, this work can be seen in a significant increase in the temperature of the discs on which the work is carried out.

In conclusion, using the work-energy theorem we can find the result for where the kinetic energy of the car is before stopping is:

    The energy becomes:

  • An important part in work on the discs.
  • A part in non-conservative work due to friction.

The rotational kinetic energy term is often called the kinetic energy in the center of mass, while the translational kinetic ene
Nataliya [291]

Question in proper order

The rotational kinetic energy term is often called the <em>kinetic energy </em><em>in</em> the center of mass, while the translational kinetic energy term is called the <em>kinetic energy </em><em>of</em> the center of mass.

You found that the total kinetic energy is the sum of the kinetic energy in the center of mass plus the kinetic energy of the center of mass. A similar decomposition exists for angular and linear momentum. There are also related decompositions that work for systems of masses, not just rigid bodies like a dumbbell.  

It is important to understand the applicability of the formula  

Ktot=Kr+Kt

Which of the following conditions are necessary for the formula to be valid?

a. The velocity vector v  must be perpendicular to the axis of rotation

b.The velocity vector v  must be perpendicular or parallel to the axis of rotation

c. The moment of inertial must be taken about an axis through the center of mass

Answer:

Option c

Explanation:

K_{total} = K_{rotational}+K_{translational}

The first two conditions are untrue, this is because, you can have rotation in any direction and translation in any direction of any collection of masses. Rotational and translational velocities of masses do not depend on each other

The last statement is true because by definition, the moment of inertia, which is a measure of reluctance, is usually taken about a reference point which is the center of mass
