Answer: minimum speed of launch must be 7.45m/s

Explanation:

Given the following:

Height or distance (s) = 2.83m

The final velocity(Vf) at maximum height = 0

Upward motion, acceleration due to gravity(g) us negative = -9.8m/s^2

From the 3rd equation of motion:

V^2 = u^2 - 2gs

Where V = final velocity

u = initial velocity

Therefore, u = Vi

u = √Vf^2 - 2gs

u = √0^2 - 2(-9.8)(2.83)

u = √0 + 55.468

u = √55.468

u = 7.4476 m/s

u = 7.45m/s

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

d = 1.65 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of a ball, v = 3 m/s

A ball rolls a level table that is 1.5 m above the floor.

We can find how long the ball is in free fall. We can use the second equation of kinematics as follows :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

u is the initial speed in the vertical direction

So,

s=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1.5}{9.8}} \\\\t=0.55\ s

Now, using the formula of velocity.

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\d=vt\\\\d=3\times 0.55\\\\d=1.65\ m

So, the landing spot is at 1.65 m from the table.

A beam of electrons passes through a single slit, and a beam of protons passes through a second, but identical, slit. The electr
ryzh [129]

Answer:

(b) The electrons, because they have the smaller momentum and, hence, the larger de Broglie wavelength

Explanation:

de Broglie wavelength λ = h / m v

Since both electrons and protons have same velocity , momentum mv will be less for electrons because mass of electron is less .

for electron , momentum is less so  . Therefore de Broglie wavelength λ will be more for electrons .

Amount of diffraction that is angle of diffraction is proportional to λ

Therefore electrons having greater de Broglie wavelength will show greater diffraction.
