Answer:

1, 2, 4, 5 are correct

Explanation:

1) This is true because In a neutral atom, the number of positive charges (protons) is equal to the number of negative charges (electrons).

2) This is true because the mass of the atom which is made up of the protons and neutrons, is located in the tiny nucleus.

3) This is not true because the positively charged particles in the nucleus are called protons.

4) This is true because electrons move around the nucleus in diffuse areas known as orbitals.

5) This is true because opposite charges attract each other. And electron is a negative charge.

6) This is not true because the radius of the electron cloud is normally 10,000 times larger than the radius of the nucleus.

The potential-energy function u(x) is zero in the interval 0≤x≤l and has the constant value u0 everywhere outside this interval.

VMariaS [17]

Look first for the relation between deBroglie wavelength (λ) and kinetic energy (K):
K = ½mv²
v = √(2K/m)
λ = h/(mv)
= h/(m√(2K/m))
= h/√(2Km)

So λ is proportional to 1/√K.
in the potential well the potential energy is zero, so completely the electron's energy is in the shape of kinetic energy:
K = 6U₀

Outer the potential well the potential energy is U₀, so
K = 5U₀
(because kinetic and potential energies add up to 6U₀)

Therefore, the ratio of the de Broglie wavelength of the electron in the region x>L (outside the well) to the wavelength for 0<x<L (inside the well) is:
1/√(5U₀) : 1/√(6U₀)
= √6 : √5

For a projectile launched horizontally, which of the following best describes the downward component of a projectile's velocity?

Angelina_Jolie [31]

C. The downward component of the projectile's velocity continually increases

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (with constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (equal to the acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction

Here we want to study the downward component of the projectile's velocity. Since the vertical motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, the vertical velocity is given by:

$v=u+at$
