Answer:

Explanation:

1. KE = 1/2mv^2

= 1/2 (12)×5^2

= 6× 25

KE = 150j

2. KE = 1/2 mv^2

100j = 1/2m(5)^2

2(100j) = m×25

m = 200÷ 25

m = 8 kg

hope it helps

Find the kinetic energy of an electron whose de broglie wavelength is 34.0 nm.

dezoksy [38]

The De Broglie wavelength of the electron is
$\lambda=34.0 nm=34 \cdot 10^{-9} m$
And we can use De Broglie's relationship to find its momentum:
$p= \frac{h}{\lambda}= \frac{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js}{34 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kg m/s$

Given $p=mv$ , with m being the electron mass and v its velocity, we can find the electron's velocity:
$v= \frac{p}{m}= \frac{1.94 \cdot 10^{-26} kgm/s}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg}= 2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s$

This velocity is quite small compared to the speed of light, so the electron is non-relativistic and we can find its kinetic energy by using the non-relativistic formula:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg)(2.13 \cdot 10^4 m/s)^2=2.06 \cdot 10^{-22} J$

Betty (mass 40 kg), standing on slippery ice, catches her leaping dog (mass 15 kg) moving horizontally at 3.0 m/s. Show that the

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

v = 2.18m/s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of Betty and her dog you take into account the law of momentum conservation. The total momentum before Betty catches her dog must be equal to the total momentum after.

Then you have:

$Mv_{1o}+mv_{2o}=(M+m)v$ (1)
