Answer:

a)It takes the bolt 0.25 s to pass the last 11% of the fall.

b)When the bolt begins to fall the last 11% of the fall its velocity is -41.2 m/s.

c)The velocity of the bolt just before it reaches the ground is -43.6 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) Let´s calculate how much distance it is the last 11% of the fall:

96 m · 0.11 = 10.56 m

So, we have to find how much time it takes the bolt to pass from a height of 10.56 m to the ground.

First, let´s calculate how much time it takes the bolt to reach a height of 10.56 m. For that we can use this equation:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

h = height of the bolt at a time t.

h0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

If we consider the ground as the origin of the frame of reference, then h0 = 96 m. Since the bolt is dropped, the initial velocity is zero (v0 = 0). Then, the equation gets reduce to this:

h = h0 + 1/2 · g · t²

We have to find at which time h = 10.56 m.

10.56 m = 96 m - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

Solving for t:

√(-2 · (10.56 m - 96 m) / 9.8 m/s²) = t

t = 4.2 s

Now that we have the time at which the bolt is located at 10.56 m above the ground, we can calculate the velocity of the bolt at that time.

The equation of velocity (v) of the bolt is the following:

v = v0 + g · t

at t = 4.2 s.

v = 0 - 9.8 m/s² · 4.2 s

v = -41.2 m/s

<u>When the bolt begins to fall the last 11% of the fall its velocity is -41.2 m/s.</u>

Now, we can calculate how much time it takes to fall the last 10.56 m.

The initial velocity of the bolt will be the velocity at h = 10.56 m. The initial height will be 10.56 m.

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

We have to find the time at which h = 0 (the bolt hits the ground)

0 = 10.56 m - 41.2 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

Solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:

t = 0.25 s (the other solution of the quadratic equation is negative and thus discarded).

<u>It takes the bolt 0.25 s to pass the last 11% of the fall.</u>

Now, let´s calculate the velocity of the bolt when it reaches the ground:

v = v0 + g · t

v = -41.2 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · 0.25 s

v = -43.6 m/s

<u>The velocity of the bolt just before it reaches the bolt is -43.6 m/s</u>

For crystal diffraction experiments, wavelengths on the order of 0.25 nm are often appropriate.
Kamila [148]

Answer:

A) E = 4.96 x 10³ eV

B) E = 4.19 x 10⁴ eV

C) E = 3.73 x 10⁹ eV

Explanation:

A)

For photon energy is given as:

E = hv

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of photon = ?

h = 6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

λ = wavelength = 0.25 nm = 0.25 x 10⁻⁹ m

Therefore,

E = \frac{(6.625 x 10^{-34} J.s)(3 x 10^8 m/s)}{0.25 x 10^{-9} m}

E = (7.95 x 10^{-16} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})

<u>E = 4.96 x 10³ eV</u>

<u></u>

B)

The energy of a particle at rest is given as:

E = m_{0}c^2

where,

E = Energy of electron = ?

m₀ = rest mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

E = (9.1 x 10^{-31} kg)(3  x  10^8 m/s)^2\\

E = (8.19 x 10^{-14} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})\\

<u>E = 4.19 x 10⁴ eV</u>

<u></u>

C)

The energy of a particle at rest is given as:

E = m_{0}c^2

where,

E = Energy of alpha particle = ?

m₀ = rest mass of alpha particle = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

E = (6.64 x 10^{-27} kg)(3  x  10^8 m/s)^2\\

E = (5.97 x 10^{-10} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})\\

<u>E = 3.73 x 10⁹ eV</u>

Why do ions stick together?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The ions stick together because of the electrostatic attraction between ions that are near one another.Electrostatic attraction refers to the electrostatic force of long-range interaction occurring between the attractive electrostatic adsorption in aqueous solution with differently charged particles or uncharged particles.

Hope this helps!! ;)

A person standing on the surface of the earth has a weight of 650 N. What is its weight at a distance of two earth radii from th
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

72.22 N

Explanation:

F = weight

m = mass of body

M = mass of earth

R = radius of earth

G = universal constant of gravitation

F_1= 650 N

F_1 = GMm/R^2

two earth radius above the surface of the earth:

F_2=  GMm/(3R)^2=  GMm/9R^2= F_1/9= 650/9

=72.22 N
