The De Broglie's wavelength of a particle is given by:
where
is the Planck constant
p is the momentum of the particle
In this problem, the momentum of the electron is equal to the product between its mass and its speed:
and if we substitute this into the previous equation, we find the De Broglie wavelength of the electron:
So, the answer is True.
Answer:
The angle of banked curve that makes the reliance on friction unnecessary is
Explanation:
In order the car to stay on the curve without friction, the net force in the direction of radius should be equal or smaller than the centripetal force. Otherwise the car could slide off the curve.
The only force in the direction of radius is the sine component of the weight of the car
The cosine component is equivalent to the normal force, which we will not be using since friction is unnecessary.
Newton’s Second Law states that
Also, the car is making a circular motion:
Combining the equations:
Finally the angle is
