A. If an electron of 16 eV had a head-on collision with a Cs atom at rest, what would be the kinetic energy in eV) of the recoil

ing Cs atom? Assume an elastic collision. (Take the atom to be the most abundant isotope of the element. B. In a Frank-Hertz experiment, the first excited state of Hg is obtained at an accelerating voltage measured to be 4.87 V. Based on this measured value, determine the wavelength of the ultraviolet radiation you expect to be emitted.

Answer:

A) 1.96 * 10^-8 J

B) 2.55 * 10^-7 m

Explanation:

A) calculate the kinetic energy in eV of the recoiling Cs atom

we have to apply the principle of energy conservation and momentum

Initial kinetic energy of electron = 16 eV = 16 * (1.6 * 10^-19 ) J

Initial kinetic energy of atom = 0

therefore the final kinetic energy after collision ( E )

= [ 16 * ( 1.6 * 10^-19 ) ] + 0

= 1.96 * 10^-8 J

B) Determine the wavelength of the ultraviolet radiation

accelerating Voltage = 4.87 V

K.E = eV = 1.6 * 10^-19 * 4.87

next we will apply Planck's relationship

$\frac{hc}{w} = KE$ --------- ( 1 )

w = wavelength

h = 6.64 * 10^-34 J-S ( Planck's constant )

c = 3 * 10 ^8 m/sec ( speed of light )

KE = 1.6 * 10^-19 * 4.87

substitute given values into equation 1 above

w ( wavelength ) = 2.55 * 10^-7 m

15.One girl was involved in a bus crash. She told the police that she was seated in the last line of seats and that when the bus

Alona [7]

Answer: It is not likely.

Explanation:

When the bus is moving forward, all the objects inside of it also are moving forward.

Now, as the objects inside the buss are not fixed to the bus, if the bus suddenly stops the objects inside of it will keep moving forward, because of the conservation of the momentum, defined as the quantity of motion (Similar to when you are in a car and it suddenly stops, you can feel the forward impulse).

Then is not likely that, in a case where the bus stops suddenly, an object inside the bus flies backward in opposite direction to the previous movement of the bus.

Is the relationship between velocity and centripetal force a direct, linear or nonlinear square relationship?

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

non linear square relationship

Explanation:

formula for centripetal force is given as

a = mv^2/r

here a ic centripetal acceleration , m is mass of body moving in circle of radius r and v is velocity of body . If m ,and r are constant we have

a = constant × v^2

a α v^2

hence non linear square relationship

A sky diver, with parachute unopened, falls 625 m in 15.0 s. Then she opens her parachute and falls another 362 m in 139 s. What

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

$v_{avg} = 6.41 m/s$

Explanation:

Average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement of the motion and total time taken in that motion

here we know that initially the sky diver drops without opening parachute by total displacement 625 m

then she open her parachute and drop another 362 m

so first it took time t = 15 s to drop without open parachute

then it took t = 139 s to drop next displacement

so here total displacement is given as

$d = 625 m + 362 m$

total time is given as

$t = 15 s + 139 s$

so average velocity is given as

$v_{avg} = \frac{625 + 362}{15 + 139}$

$v_{avg} = 6.41 m/s$

Student pushes a 50 N block across the floor for a distance of 15 m how much work was done to move the block

Talja [164]

Answer:

750 J

Explanation:

We have a student that pushes a 50N block across the floor for a distance of 15m. The question is asking how much work was done to move the block.

To solve this, we must know that we are looking for a certain thing called joules. And to get the answer, we must follow the formula of W = FS

F being the force and S being the distance.

W = FS

W = (50)(15)

W = 750

Therefore, 750 joules is our answer.

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 65.7 kg person standing on the roof of a 135 meter building?

horrorfan [7]

For the purpose we will use the following equation for potential energy:
U = m * g * h
In the above equation, m represents the mass of the object, h represents the height of the object and g represents the gravitational field strength (9.8 N/kg on Earth).
When we plug values into the equation, we get following:
U= 65.7kg * 9.8 N/kg *135m = 86921.1 J = 86.92 kJ
