Answer:

Scattering is an interaction that can happen when a given particle or wave, like an electron, impacts a target or material. Then the electron changes it's original path and leaves some energy in the process. (This is a really simplified explanation of scattering, this is a really complex phenomenon, but let's not dive into that path)

Particularly, Davisson and Germer used a beam of electrons against a target of nickel, and these scattered electrons were detected by a detector. All of that in a vacuum chamber.

Then the correct answer is a nickel target.

"After de Broglie proposed the wave nature of matter, Davisson and Germer demonstrated the wavelike behavior of electrons by observing an interference pattern from electrons scattering off a nickel target"

Two boats start together and race across a 48-km-wide lake and back. boat a goes across at 48 km/h and returns at 48 km/h. boat
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.

Hence, boat 1 wins.

Explanation:

Case 1: Boat 1

Speed of boat = \frac{distance of river}{time}

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

While going to another end

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

time = \frac{48}{48}

time = 1 hour

While going back,

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

time = \frac{48}{48}

time = 1 hour

Total time taken by boat 1 is,

Total time by boat 1 = 1 hour + 1 hour = 2 hour

Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour

Total time taken by boat 1 for the round trip is 2 hour.

Case 2: Boat 2

Speed of boat = \frac{distance of river}{time}

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

While going to another end

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

time = \frac{48}{24}

time = 2 hour

While going back,

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

time = \frac{48}{72}

time = 0.66 hour

Total time taken by boat 2 is,

Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour + 0.66 hour

Total time by boat 1 = 2.66 hour

Total time taken by boat 2 for the round trip is 2.66 hour.

Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.

Hence, boat 1 wins.

3. Consider a locomotive and the rest of a freight train to be a single object. Suppose the locomotive is pulling the train up a
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Action - Pulling up the train.

Reaction - Friction on the locomotive

Explanation:

Locomotive is pulling the train upwards ,

Which is the action force applied by the locomotive,

As a reaction locomotive will be pulled by the train which is the reaction of pulling

Now, considering it as a action on locomotive , friction force will act on it as a reaction upwards which will result to move it upwards.

For train action is pulling up by locomotive and reaction will be friction acting on it downwards.

Which one of the following statements does not accurately describe vibrations?
Ivanshal [37]

This is an example of resonance - when one object vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces that second object into vibrational motion. The result of resonance is always a large vibration.

Answer D. Forced vibrations, such as those between a tuning fork and a large cabinet surface, result in a much lower sound than was produced by the original vibrating body Because this statement contridicts the above statement, it is not accurate

A suitcase (mass m = 18 kg) is resting on the floor of an elevator. The part of the suitcase in contact with the floor measures
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

P=2736 Pa

Explanation:

According to Newton we have that:

∑F=m*a\\

A force is exerted by the elevator to the suitcase, according to 3th Newton's law an equal force but in the opposite direction will appeared on the suitcase, that is:

∑F=m*g+m*a=m*(g+a)

F=205.2N

We know that the pressure is given by:

P=\frac{F}{A}\\P=\frac{205.2N}{(0.50m)*(0.15m)}\\P=2736N/m^2=2736Pa
