Answer:

K = 13448.64eV

Explanation:

(a) In order to calculate the kinetic energy of the electrons, to "see" the atom, you take into account that the wavelength of the electrons must be of the order of the resolution required (0.010nm).

Then, you first calculate, by using the Broglies' relation, the momentum of the electron associated to a wavelength of 0.010nm:

p=\frac{h}{\lambda}       (1)

p: momentum of the electron

h: Planck's constant = 6.626*10^-34 Js

λ: wavelength = 0.010nm

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

p=\frac{6.262*10^{-34}Js}{0.010*10^{-9}m}=6.262*10^{-23}kg\frac{m}{s}

With this values of the momentum of the electron you can calculate the kinetic energy of the electron by using the following formula:

K=\frac{p^2}{2m}    (2)

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10^-31 kg

K=\frac{(6.262*10^{-23}kgm/s)^2}{2(9.1*10^{-31}kg)}=2.15*10^{-15 }J

In electron volts you obtain:

2.15*10^{-15}J*\frac{6.242*10^{18}eV}{1J}=13448.64eV

The kinetic energy required for the electrons must be, at least, of 13448.64 eV

If it takes you 10 seconds to increase from 0 km/h to 50 km/h, what is your acceleration?
ZanzabumX [31]
Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time. Your Δv is +13.9, since you increased speed by 50 km/h which is 13.9 m/s, and your Δt is 10s. 13.9/10 = 1.39 m/s^2, the standard units for acceleration. Make sense?

(4) A meeting is being attended by Raman

= when the last of the guests left, I went back into the hall to look for my mobile phone that I had kept on the table, I found that my mobile phone was not there. I felt freaked and I asked to every member of my family about my phone, but nobody had idea about that. then there was a phone call made by my uncle to my father, that his son had taken the mobile by mistake. After sometime, My uncle came to return my mobile. Then I took a sigh of relief .

b) The distance of the red supergiant Betelgeuse is approximately 427 light years. If it were to explode as a supernova, it woul
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

b) Betelgeuse would be \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} times brighter than Sirius

c) Since Betelgeuse brightness from Earth compared to the Sun is \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} } the statement saying that it would be like a second Sun is incorrect

Explanation:

The start brightness is related to it luminosity thought the following equation:

B = \displaystyle{\frac{L}{4\pi d^2}} (1)

where B is the brightness, L is the star luminosity and d, the distance from the star to the point where the brightness is calculated (measured). Thus:

b) B_{Betelgeuse} = \displaystyle{\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2}} and B_{Sirius} = \displaystyle{\frac{26L_{Sun}}{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}} where L_{Sun} is the Sun luminosity (3.9 x 10^{26} W) but we don't need to know this value for solving the problem. ly is light years.

Finding the ratio between the two brightness we get:

\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sirius}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}{26L_{Sun}} \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} }

c) we can do the same as in b) but we need to know the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is 1.581 \cdot 10^{-5}\ ly. Then

\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sun}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (1.581\cdot 10^{-5}\ ly)^2}{1\ L_{Sun}} \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} }

Notice that since the star luminosities are given with respect to the Sun luminosity we don't need to use any value a simple states the Sun luminosity as the unit, i.e 1. From this result, it is clear that when Betelgeuse explodes it won't be like having a second Sun, it brightness will be 5 orders of magnitude smaller that our Sun brightness.

We are given with the data that says the probability that a battery will last 10 hr or more is 0.8 and the probability <span>that it will last 15 hr or more is 0.11. In this case, the probability that the battery lasts at least 10 hours and even 15 hrs more is 0.11 / 0.8 or equal to 13.75 percent.</span>
