Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

101,000 J = (1/2) (1200 kg) (speed)²

Speed²  = 101,000 J / 600 kg

Speed²  =  168 and 1/3  m²/s²

Speed = √(168 and 1/3  m²/s²)

<em>Speed = 12.97 m/s</em>

An electron and a proton each have a thermal kinetic energy of 3kBT/2. Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of each particle at a
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Given:

Thermal Kinetic Energy of an electron, KE_{t} = \frac{3}{2}k_{b}T

k_{b} = 1.38\times 10^{- 23} J/k = Boltzmann's constant

Temperature, T = 1800 K

Solution:

Now, to calculate the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron, \lambda_{e}:

\lambda_{e} = \frac{h}{p_{e}}

\lambda_{e} = \frac{h}{m_{e}{v_{e}}              (1)

where

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{- 34}m^{2}kg/s

p_{e} = momentum of an electron

v_{e} = velocity of an electron

m_{e} = 9.1\times 10_{- 31} kg = mass of electon

Now,

Kinetic energy of an electron = thermal kinetic energy

\frac{1}{2}m_{e}v_{e}^{2} = \frac{3}{2}k_{b}T

}v_{e} = \sqrt{2\frac{\frac{3}{2}k_{b}T}{m_{e}}}

}v_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{3\times 1.38\times 10^{- 23}\times 1800}{9.1\times 10_{- 31}}}

v_{e} = 2.86\times 10^{5} m/s                    (2)

Using eqn (2) in (1):

\lambda_{e} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}}{9.1\times 10_{- 31}\times 2.86\times 10^{5}} = 2.55 nm

Now, to calculate the de-Broglie wavelength of proton, \lambda_{e}:

\lambda_{p} = \frac{h}{p_{p}}

\lambda_{p} = \frac{h}{m_{p}{v_{p}}                             (3)

where

m_{p} = 1.6726\times 10_{- 27} kg = mass of proton

v_{p} = velocity of an proton

Now,

Kinetic energy of a proton = thermal kinetic energy

\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v_{p}^{2} = \frac{3}{2}k_{b}T

}v_{p} = \sqrt{2\frac{\frac{3}{2}k_{b}T}{m_{p}}}

}v_{p} = \sqrt{\frac{3\times 1.38\times 10^{- 23}\times 1800}{1.6726\times 10_{- 27}}}

v_{p} = 6.674\times 10^{3} m/s                               (4)                    

Using eqn (4) in (3):

\lambda_{p} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}}{1.6726\times 10_{- 27}\times 6.674\times 10^{3}} = 5.94\times 10^{- 11} m = 0.0594 nm

Stop to Think 7.1 Which one is greater- the attraction of the Earth on 1 kg lead or the attraction of 1 kg of led
Daniel [21]

Answer:

1 kg lead to earth is greater attraction as mass of earth is much more than 1kg lead.

Explanation:

Objects with more mass have more gravity. Gravity also gets weaker with distance. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity comes from all its mass

A speedboat moves on a lake with initial velocity vector v1,x = 8.57 m/s and v1,y = -2.61 m/s, then accelerates for 6.67 seconds
KengaRu [80]
First, you find the velocity at each component. The general equation is:

a = (v2 - v1)/t

a,x = (v2,x - v1,x)/t
-0.105 = (v2,x - 8.57)/6.67
v2,x = 7.87 m/s

a,y = (v2,y - v1,y)/t
0.101 = (v2,y - -2.61)/6.67
v2,y = -1.94 m/s

To find the final speed, find the resultant velocity by taking the hypotenuse.

v^2 = (v2,x)^2 + (v2,y)^2
v^2 = (7.87)^2 + (-1.94)^2
v = 8.1 m/s

What is the relationship between elevation and energy (think about the same can dropped from different heights)?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Elevation would be showing you what height you are at, energy would be like what force your putting into the object.
