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

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

3125 N

Explanation:

diameter /2 =radius

so r1 =14cm , r2 =35cm

f1/A1 =f2/A2.

f2 = f1 × A2 / A1

=500×1225 pi cm² / 96 pi cm²

f2 =3125N

Determine the amount of potential energy of a 5N book that is 1.5m high on a shelf.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of book = 5 N

Height of shelf = 1.5 meter

Find:

Potential energy of book

Computation:

Weight = Mass x Acceleration of gravity

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

Potential energy = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

Potential energy of book = Mass x Acceleration of gravity x Height

We know that;

Mass x Acceleration of gravity = 5 N

So,

Potential energy of book = 5 x 1.5

Potential energy of book = 7.5 J

Fifteen identical particles have various speeds: one has a speed of 2.00 m/s, two have speeds of 3.00 m/s, three have speeds 5.0
Tems11 [23]
A. Average speed is weighted mean (1 × 2 + 2 × 3 + 3 × 5 + 4 × 7 + 3 × 9 + 2 × 12.5)/15 = (2 + 6 + 15 + 28 + 27 + 25)/15 = 103/15 = 6.867 b. RMS is square root of 1/15 times sum of squares of speeds Sum of squares is 4 + 9 + 9 + 25 + 25 + 25 + 49 + 49 + 49 + 49 + 81 + 81 + 81 +156.25 + 156.25 = 848.5 
c. RMS speed = √(848.5/15) = 7.521 
Most likely the speed is the peak in the speed distribution, which is 7.

What is the name given to the initial 150 counts in 2 minutes?
Whitepunk [10]

Divide CFU of Dilution. Divide the CFU of the dilution (the number of colonies you counted) by the result from step 4. For this example, you work out 46 ÷ 1/1000, which is the same as 46 x 1,000. The result is 46,000 CFU in the original sample.
