Softa [21]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

A. Using

E= ma/q

E=m/q(2s/t²)

So

E= 9.1x10^-31/1.6*10^-19( 2*4.5/ 3*10-12)

E=5.7NC

The electric field has to be downward since the force is positive that is upward

B.

The electron acceleration is of the order of 10^11 times greater so for practical purposes we neglect the effect of gravity

A cannonball with a mass of 1.0 kilogram is fired horizontally from a 500.-kilogram cannon, initially at rest, on a horizontal,
vfiekz [6]
The impulse J is equal to the magnitude of the force applied to the cannonball times the time it is applied:
J=F \Delta t
But the impulse is also equal to the change in momentum of the cannonball:
J=\Delta p
If we put the two equations together, we find
F \Delta t= \Delta p
And since we know the magnitude of the average force and the time, we can calculate the change in momentum:
\Delta p= F \Delta t=(8.0 \cdot 10^3 N)(1.0 \cdot 10^{-1} s)=800 kg m/s

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of: a) A person running across the room (assume 180 kg at 1 m/s) b) A 5.0 MeV proton
solmaris [256]

Answer:

a

\lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \  m

b

\lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the person is  m =  180 \  kg

    The speed of the person is  v  =  1 \  m/s

    The energy of the proton is  E_ p =  5 MeV = 5 *10^{6} eV  = 5.0 *10^6 * 1.60 *10^{-19} = 8.0 *10^{-13} \  J

Generally the de Broglie wavelength is mathematically represented as

      \lambda = \frac{h}{m * v }

Here  h is the Planck constant with the value

      h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s

So  

     \lambda = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{ 180  * 1  }

=> \lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \  m

Generally the energy of the proton is mathematically represented as

         E_p =  \frac{1}{2}  *   m_p  *  v^2_p

Here m_p  is the mass of proton with value  m_p  =  1.67 *10^{-27} \  kg

=>     8.0*10^{-13} =  \frac{1}{2}  *   1.67 *10^{-27}  *  v^2

=>   v _p= \sqrt{\frac{8.0 *10^{-13}}{ 0.5 * 1.67 *10^{-27}} }

=>   v = 3.09529 *10^{7} \  m/s

So

        \lambda_p = \frac{h}{m_p * v_p }

so    \lambda_p = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{1.67 *10^{-27} * 3.09529 *10^{7} }

=>     \lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m

the threshold of hearing is defined as the minimum discernible intensity of the sound. it is approximately 10−12w/m2 . find the
vivado [14]

The distance is 97720.5 m

From the question, we have

P = 0.06 W × 2 = 0.12 W

d = ?

Sound intensity, I = P/4πd²

I = 10⁻¹² W/m²

10⁻¹² = 0.12/4πd²

d = 97720.5 m

The distance is 97720.5 m

Sound intensity :

The power carried by sound waves per unit area in the direction  perpendicular to that region is known as sound intensity or acoustic intensity. The watt per square meter (W/m2) is the SI unit of intensity, which also covers sound intensity. Sound intensity is a measure of how quickly energy moves across a given space. The unit area in the SI measurement system is 1 m2. So Watts per square meter are used to measure sound intensity. As there will be energy flow in certain directions but not in others, sound intensity also provides a measure of direction.
