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

1. A car travels at 55 km/h for 6.0 hours. How far does it travel?

Veronika [31]

Answer:

330 km

55*6= 330 km. An easy formula for this is multiplying time with speed.

Explanation:

330 kilometros

55 * 6 = 330 km. Una fórmula fácil para esto es multiplicar el tiempo por la velocidad.

A 1100 kg car rounds a curve of radius 68 m banked at an angle of 16 degrees. If the car is traveling at 95 km/h, will a frictio

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Yes. Towards the center. 8210 N.

Explanation:

Let's first investigate the free-body diagram of the car. The weight of the car has two components: x-direction: towards the center of the curve and y-direction: towards the ground. Note that the ground is not perpendicular to the surface of the Earth is inclined 16 degrees.

In order to find whether the car slides off the road, we should use Newton's Second Law in the direction of x: F = ma.

The net force is equal to $F = \frac{mv^2}{R} = \frac{1100\times (26.3)^2}{68} = 1.1\times 10^4~N$

Note that 95 km/h is equal to 26.3 m/s.

This is the centripetal force and equal to the x-component of the applied force.

$F = mg\sin(16) = 1100(9.8)\sin(16) = 2.97\times10^3$

As can be seen from above, the two forces are not equal to each other. This means that a friction force is needed towards the center of the curve.

The amount of the friction force should be $8.21\times 10^3~N$

Qualitatively, on a banked curve, a car is thrown off the road if it is moving fast. However, if the road has enough friction, then the car stays on the road and move safely. Since the car intends to slide off the road, then the static friction between the tires and the road must be towards the center in order to keep the car in the road.

What are some climate facts

aleksley [76]

The greenhouse effect is a warming effect caused by certain gases that retain heat from sunlight. Without such gases, the average surface temperature of the Earth would be below freezing, and as explained by the Encyclopedia of Environmental Science, “life, as we know it, would not exist.”
<span>
The global warming debate is centered upon whether added greenhouse gases released by human activity will overheat the Earth and cause harmful effects.</span><span>

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

$16.25^{\circ}$

Explanation:

R = Horizontal range of projectile = 75 m

v = Velocity of projectile = 37 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

Horizontal range is given by

$R=\dfrac{v^2\sin2\theta}{g}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{\sin^{-1}\dfrac{Rg}{v^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\dfrac{\sin^{-1}\dfrac{75\times 9.81}{37^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \theta=16.25^{\circ}$

The angle at which the arrow is to be released is $16.25^{\circ}$ .
