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

A 100 kg mass is pulled along a frictionless surface by a horizontal force F such that its acceleration is 10.0 m/s2. A 20 kg ma
DIA [1.3K]

Answer

given,

mass = 100 kg

acceleration = 10 m/s²

A mass 20 kg slides over 100 kg block

acceleration = 3 m/s²

horizontal friction exerted by the 100 kg block on 20 kg

using newton's second law

F - f = 0

F = f

f = ma

f = 20 × 3

f = 60 N

now net force acting on the 100 kg block

F_net = m a

F_net = 100 x 10

F_net = 1000 N

after 20 kg block falls the acceleration of the bock

F = 1000 +60

F = 1060 N

acceleartion on the block

a = \dfrac{F}{m}

a = \dfrac{1060}{100}

a = 10.60 m/s²

Assume n1 and n2 are two adjacent energy levels of an atom. The emission of radiation with the longest wavelength would occur fo
Anni [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the energy levels of n1 and n2 are high, the difference of their energy level will tend to zero thereby making the energy of the emitted photons very low.

The gas pressure inside a container decreases when
avanturin [10]

Answer:

When the volume increases or when the temperature decreases

Explanation:

The ideal gas equation states that:

pV= nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles of gas

R is the gas constant

T is the gas temperature

Assuming that we have a fixed amount of gas, so n is constant, we can rewrite the equation as

\frac{pV}{T}=const.

which means the following:

- Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume: this means that the pressure decreases when the volume increases

- Pressure is directly proportional to the temperature: this means that the pressure decreases when the temperature decreases
