What is the difference between each distance traveled and displacement travled

-BARSIC- [3]

Displacement is a vector magnitude that depends on the position of the body which is individualistic for the trajectory.

While, Distance is a scalar magnitude that measures over the trajectory.

A 0.500-nm x-ray photon is deected through 134 in a Compton scattering event. At what angle (with respect to the incident beam)

natita [175]

Answer:

The angle of recoil electron with respect to incident beam of photon is 22.90°.

Explanation:

Compton Scattering is the process of scattering of X-rays by a charge particle like electron.

The angle of the recoiling electron with respect to the incident beam is determine by the relation :

$\cot\phi = (1+\frac{hf}{m_{e}c^{2} })\tan\frac{\theta }{2}$ ....(1)

Here ∅ is angle of recoil electron, θ is the scattered angle, h is Planck's constant, $m_{e}$ is mass of electron, c is speed of light and f is the frequency of the x-ray photon.

We know that, f = c/λ ......(2)

Here λ is wavelength of x-ray photon.

Rearrange equation (1) with the help of equation (1) in terms of λ .

$\cot\phi = (1+\frac{h}{m_{e}c\lambda })\tan\frac{\theta }{2}$

Substitute 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ m² kg s⁻¹ for h, 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg for $m_{e}$ , 3 x 10⁸ m/s for c, 0.500 x 10⁻⁹ m for λ and 134° for θ in the above equation.

$\cot\phi = (1+\frac{6.6\times10^{-34} }{9.1\times10^{-31}\times3\times10^{8}\times0.5\times10^{-9} })\tan\frac{134 }{2}$

$\cot\phi=2.37$

$\phi$ = 22.90°

Convert the volume 8.06 in.3 to m3, recalling that1in. =2.54cmand100cm=1m. Answer in units of m3.

galina1969 [7]

1 in=2.54 cm=(2.54 cm)(1 m/100 cm)=0.0254 m
Therefore:
1 in=0.0254 m
1 in³=(0.0254 m)³=1.6387064 x 10⁻⁵ m³

Therefore:

8.06 in³=(8.06 in³)(1.6387064 x 10⁻⁵ m³ / 1 in³)≈1.321 x 10⁻⁴ m³.

Answer: 8.06 in³=1.321 x 10⁻⁴ m³

A frictionless piston–cylinder device contains 7 kg of nitrogen at 100 kPa and 250 K. Nitrogen is now compressed slowly accordin

lora16 [44]

Answer: -1038.8 kJ

Explanation:

From the question, we can see that PV^n = constant. And as such, we can deduce that it is a polytropic process. Thus, we can use the polytropic work equation to calculate the needed work input.

from the question we were given

Mass of nitrogen, m = 7kg

initial temperature, T1 = 250k

Final temperature, T2 = 450k

Polytropic index, n = 1.4

Specific gas constant, R = 0.2968kJ/kgK

W = [p2 * v2 - p1 * v1] / 1 - n

W = [m * R * T2 - T1] / 1 - n

W = 7*0.2968*(450 - 250)] / 1 - 1.4

W = [7*0.2968*200] / -0.4

W = 415.52 / -0.4

W = -1038.8 kJ
