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 sphere of uniform density with mass 21 kg and radius 0.8 m is spinning, making one complete revolution every 0.8 s. the center
kompoz [17]
Using the equation;
TE = 1/2mv^2(1+2); where k = 2/5 for a solid sphere; V is the velocity, and m is the mass.
Total energy = 0.5 × 21 × 8² (7/5)
                    = 940.8 J
The rotational kinetic energy of the sphere is 940.8 J

How do positive and negative acceleration differ?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

1. positive acceleration represents an object speeding up; negative acceleration represents an object slowing down

Explanation:

Acceleration is clearly defined as the rate of change of velocity with time. When are body is speeding up as we say, it is accelerating. When a body is coming to rest, it is decelerating.

Positive acceleration occurs when the speed of a moving continues to increase.

Negative acceleration is when the speed of a moving body reduces drastically.

Which object had more potential energy when it was lifted to a distance of 10 meters? Show your
vitfil [10]
When all of the objects are lifted to the same height, the object
that has the most mass also has the most potential energy.

If we knew anything about the masses of the objects in this question,
then we could be more specific.

Calculation:

    <em>Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height above the reference level)</em>.

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

It's not enough.

Explanation:

To be able to separate mixtures into substances we have more methods than just distillation, filtration and evaporation. Certain mixtures cannot be filtered, however by decanting can be separated simpler substances from it. Centrifugation separates solids dispersed in liquids that cannot be separated by filtration. Also, it is necessary to try to separate the substance by the method of chromatography, crystallization, etc.

Have a nice day!
