A photon of wavelength 15 x 10^-12 m hits an electron at rest, causing the electron to move. The photon bounces off the electron

at some angle θ relative to its original direction. If its new wavelength is 16 x 10^-12 m, what is θ? (a) 24° (b) 36° (c) 54° (d) 66°

Answer:

c) 54°

Explanation:

let h be the planck constant, m be the mass of an electron and c be the speed of light. let λn be the new wavelength and λ be the initial wavelength. [h/(m×c)] = 2.43×10^-12 m.

then, according to compton effect:

          Δλ = [h/(m×c)]×(1 - cos(θ))

     λn - λ = [h/(m×c)]×(1 - cos(θ))

1 - cos(θ) = (λn - λ)/[h/(m×c)]

  cos(θ)  = 1 - (λn - λ)/[h/(m×c)]

   cos(θ) =  1 - (16×10^-12 - 15×10^-12)/[2.43×10^-12]

   cos(θ) = 0.5884773663

           θ = 53.95°

              ≈ 54°

A 60.0 kg girl stands up on a stationary floating raft and decides to go into shore. She dives off the 180 kg floating raft with
lord [1]
Momentum, p = m.v
m of the girl = 60.0 kg
m of the boat = 180 kg
v of the girl = 4.0 m/s

A) Momentum of the girl as she is diving:
p = m.v = 60.0 kg * 4.0 m/s = 24.0 N/s

B) momentum of the raft = - momentum of the girl = -24.0 N/s

C) speed of the raft

p = m.v ; v = p/m = 24.0N/s / 180 kg = -0.13 m/s [i.e. in the opposite direction of the girl's velocity]

A car with four passengers will have a shorter braking distance than a car with one braking distance. True or false. Why?
Valentin [98]

<u>Answer:</u>

The given statement is a True statement

<u>Explanation:</u>

All cars and trucks have load capacities marked on the jamb of the driver's door, as well as the owner's manual. This is very significant for braking distance.

A heavier object will require much more braking force and distance to stop, due to New ton's law of motion. “ An object in motion will tend to stay in motion “ .A heavy object will remain in motion longer and require much more force to stop. Four wheel disc brakes are great compared to front disc and rear drum configuration, in dissipating heat, and stopping more efficiently.

How did particles in the solar nebula eventually form earth
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

At the high temperatures of the inner solar nebula, the small proto-planets were too hot to hold the volatile gases that dominated the solar nebula. These proto-planets were Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury.

Explanation:

The materials that accreted into the early Earth were probably added piecemeal, without and particular order. The early earth was very hot from gravitational compression, impacts and radioactive decay; the earth was partially molted. The denser metallic liquids sank to the center of the Earth and less denser silicate liquids rose to the top. In this way the Earth differentiated very quickly into a metallic, mostly iron core and a rocky silicate mantle.

Why isn't pluto considered a planet anymore?
aivan3 [116]

The answer is. It did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet.

1. It is in orbit around the Sun

2. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium

3. It has 'cleared the neighborhood' around its orbit

Pluto has not 'cleared its neighborhood'

What is the internal energy of 2.00 mol of diatomic hydrogen gas (H2) at 35°C?
djyliett [7]
As you mentioned, we will use <span>Equipartition Theorem.
</span><span>H2 has 5 degrees of freedom; 3 translations and 2 rotation
</span>Therefore:
Internal energy = (5/2) nRT
You just substitute in the equation with the values of R and T and calculate the internal energy as follows:
Internal energy = (5/2) x 2 x <span>8.314 x 308 = 32.0089 x 10^3 J</span>
