A color television tube generates some X-rays when its electron beam strikes the screen. What is the shortest wavelength of thes

e X-rays, in meters, if a 31 kV potential is used to accelerate the electrons? (Note that TVs have shielding to prevent these X-rays from reaching viewers.)

Answer:  4.0024 x 10^ -11 m or 0.040024 nm

Explanation:

λ = h c/ΔE

λ = wave lenght

h = 6.626 x 10 ^ -34  m² kg /s  = planck constant

ΔE = 31 keV potential ( 1 keV = 1.6021 x 10^-16J)

c = velocity of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

substitute gives

λ  =    <u>6.626 x 10 ^ -34  m² kg /s x 3 x 10⁸ m/s</u>  = 4.0024 x 10^ -11 m

                 31 x 1.6021x10^-16 J

Describe why cars are inefficient machines in terms of thermodynamics.
Alina [70]

Cars are the mechanical device which convert chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, the engine used in the automobiles car are very inefficient, they can only convert 30-40% of chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy, since thermodynamics is the branch of science that deals with the conversion of energy, thus due to poor conversion rate of chemical energy into mechanical energy, cars are known as inefficient machine.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

1.7\cdot 10^3 N

Explanation:

The impulse theorem states that the product between the force and the time interval of the collision is equal to the change in momentum:

F \Delta t = m \Delta v

where

F is the force

\Delta t is the time interval

m is the mass

\Delta v is the change in velocity

Here we have

m = 84 kg

\Delta t = 1.2 s

\Delta v = 24 m/s

So we can solve the equation to find the force:

F= \frac{m \Delta v}{\Delta t }=\frac{(84 kg)(24 m/s)}{1.2 s}=1680 N \sim 1.7\cdot 10^3 N

A ship leaves a harbor and sails at 23.5 ∘ to the north of due west. After traveling 575 km, how far west is the ship from the h
solniwko [45]

Answer:

D = 527.31 Km

Explanation:

given,

angle of ship, θ = 23.5° N of W

distance travel in the direction = 575 Km

Distance of ship in west from harbor = ?

now,

Distance of the ship in the west direction

D = d cos θ

d = 575 Km

θ = 23.5°

inserting all the values

D = 575 x cos 23.5°

D = 575 x 0.91706

D = 527.31 Km

Hence, the distance travel by the ship in west from harbor is equal to D = 527.31 Km
