Particle A is at rest, and particle B collides head-on with it. The collision is completely inelastic, so the two particles stic

k together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. The masses of the particles are different, and no external forces act on them. The de Broglie wavelength of particle B before the collision is 1.8 × 10^-34 m. What is the de Broglie wavelength of the object that moves off after the collision?

Answer:

1.8 x 10⁻³⁴ m.

Explanation:

de Broglie wavelength  ( λ ) of a moving particle is given by the following expression

λ = h / momentum of the particle

In other words, de Broglie wavelength depends upon the momentum of the particle.

In the given case , particle A which is stationary collides with another particle B having some momentum . After the collision , they move together.No external force acts on them . Therefore after the collision , their momentum will be conserved. In other words , their momentum remains the same as earlier. So their de Broglie wave length will also be the same as earlier , since it depends on the momentum of the moving body.

Hence the  de Broglie wavelength  of the object  will be 1.8 x 10⁻³⁴ m.

When 15 newtons of force is applied to the 0.5 kg book, the friction keeps the book from sliding down the wall. What is the mini
valkas [14]

Answer:

15 N and 3.061

Explanation:

From the question,

The minimum force of friction to keep the book from sliding = 15 N.

using

F = mgμ................. Equation 1

Where F = Frictional Force, m = mass of the book, g = acceleration due to gravity, μ = coefficient of friction.

make μ the subject of the equation

μ = F/mg............... Equation 2

Given: F = 15 N, m = 0.5 kg, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

μ = 15(0.5×9.8)

μ = 15/4.9

μ = 3.061

Hence the coefficient of friction to keep the book from sliding = 3.061

Which is one piece of information that astronomers use to calculate the age of the universe?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

  • the age of the oldest stars
  • patterns of background radiation
  • how fast distant galaxies are moving away from us

Explanation:

According to the NASA, astronomers can estimate how old the universe is by comparing the age of the oldest stars and the rate of expansion of the universe. The rate of expansion of the universe is based on the Big Bang theory and it states that our universe is continuously expanding since it first developed. Astronomers measure Cosmic Microwave Background radiation resulting from the Big Bang.

A locomotive is pulling 15 freight cars, each of which is loaded with the same amount of weight. The mass of each freight car (w
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

298,220 N

Explanation:

Let the force on car three is T_23-T_34

Since net force= ma

from newton's second law we have

T_23-T_34 = ma

therefore,

T_23-T_34 = 37000×0.62

T_23= 22940+T_34

now, we need to calculate

T_34

Notice that T_34 is accelerating all 12 cars behind 3rd car by at a rate of 0.62 m/s^2

F= ma

So, F= 12×37000×0.62= 22940×12= 275280 N

T_23 =22940+T_34= 22940+ 275280= 298,220 N

therefore, the tension in the coupling between the second and third cars

= 298,220 N
