Answer:

AC)=(AB)2+(BC)2−−−−−−−−−−−−√=42+32−−−−−−√

⇒displacement=16+9−−−−−√=25−−√=5m

Compare the wavelengths of an electron (mass = 9.11 × 10−31 kg) and a proton (mass = 1.67 × 10−27 kg), each having (a) a speed o

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Part A:

The proton has a smaller wavelength than the electron.

$\lambda_{proton} = 6.05x10^{-14}m$ < $\lambda_{electron} = 1.10x10^{-10}m$

Part B:

The proton has a smaller wavelength than the electron.

$\lambda_{proton} = 1.29x10^{-13}m$ < $\lambda_{electron} = 5.525x10^{-12}m$

Explanation:

The wavelength of each particle can be determined by means of the De Broglie equation.

$\lambda = \frac{h}{p}$ (1)

Where h is the Planck's constant and p is the momentum.

$\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}$ (2)

Part A

Case for the electron:

$\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34} J.s}{(9.11x10^{-31}Kg)(6.55x10^{6}m/s)}$

But $J = Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}$

$\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(9.11x10^{-31}Kg)(6.55x10^{6}m/s)}$

$\lambda = 1.10x10^{-10}m$

Case for the proton:

$\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(1.67x10^{-27}Kg)(6.55x10^{6}m/s)}$

$\lambda = 6.05x10^{-14}m$

Hence, the proton has a smaller wavelength than the electron.

<em>Part B </em>

For part b, the wavelength of the electron and proton for that energy will be determined.

First, it is necessary to find the velocity associated to that kinetic energy:

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$2KE = mv^{2}$

$v^{2} = \frac{2KE}{m}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2KE}{m}}$ (3)

Case for the electron:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(7.89x10^{-15}J)}{9.11x10^{-31}Kg}}$

but $1J = kg \cdot m^{2}/s^{2}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(7.89x10^{-15}kg \cdot m^{2}/s^{2})}{9.11x10^{-31}Kg}}$

$v = 1.316x10^{8}m/s$

Then, equation 2 can be used:

$\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(9.11x10^{-31}Kg)(1.316x10^{8}m/s)}$

$\lambda = 5.525x10^{-12}m$

Case for the proton :

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(7.89x10^{-15}J)}{1.67x10^{-27}Kg}}$

But $1J = kg \cdot m^{2}/s^{2}$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(7.89x10^{-15}kg \cdot m^{2}/s^{2})}{1.67x10^{-27}Kg}}$

$v = 3.07x10^{6}m/s$

Then, equation 2 can be used:

$\lambda = \frac{6.624x10^{-34}Kg.m^{2}/s^{2}.s}{(1.67x10^{-27}Kg)(3.07x10^{6}m/s)}$

$\lambda = 1.29x10^{-13}m$

Hence, the proton has a smaller wavelength than the electron.

Elenna [48]

Let, 1st force = a

2nd force = b

A.T.Q,

a+b = 10

a-b = 6

Calculate for a & b, you'll get a=8 & b= 2

After increasing by 3, it'll be a = 8+3 = 11 & b=2+3 = 5

Resultant force at 90 degree angle = 11+5 = 16 Newtons

Which of the following is a characteristic of a mixture

BARSIC [14]

I believe you forgot to add the choices. I will tell you some of the characteristics of mixtures and I hope you find one of them in the choices you have.

A mixture is a physical combination between two or more elements. No chemical reaction is involved in the formation of mixtures.
The components of the mixture can be separated using physical methods such as filtration, boiling and condensation.
Examples of mixtures include mixture of sugar and water or mixture of salt and sugar.
