Answer:

d) stiffness of the spring

Explanation:

As per Hooke's law for spring we know that restoring force of the spring is proportional to the displacement of the spring from its natural length

so it is given as

$F = kx$

here

k = spring constant which depends on the material of the spring

here we know that

k = it is stiffness constant so more stiff spring will have more stiffness constant

What is the change all living things undergo as the grow

Vladimir [108]

All of the change that living things undergo as they grow is called development. That is the name when the changes are within a single unit and over a period of time as short as a lifetime. When the change occurs over thousands of years then it's called evolution.

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.

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

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

Stronger acids have more _______

mario62 [17]

Examples of strong acids are hydrochloric acid (HCl), perchloric acid (HClO4), nitric acid (HNO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). ... For example, hydrogen chloride is a strong acid in aqueous solution, but is a weak acid when dissolved in glacial acetic acid.
