The equation for the de Broglie wavelength is:
<span>λ = (h/mv) √[1-(v²/c²)], </span>
<span>where h is Plank's Constant, m is the rest mass, v is velocity, and c is the velocity of light in vacuum. However, if c>>v (and it is, in this case) then the expression under the radical sign approaches 1, and the equation simplifies to: </span>
<span>λ = h/mv. </span>
<span>Substituting, (remember to convert the mass to kg, since 1 J = 1 kg·m²/s²): </span>
<span>λ = (6.63x10^-34 J·s) / (0.0459 kg) (72.0 m/s) = 2.00x10^-34 m.</span>
Answer:
5.1 hours
Explanation:
The only fact we need to know about such a question is that when gazing down at the north pole, the earth spins longitudinally at 360 degrees / day in the clockwise direction.
The planet would have to spin an additional 77 ° to strike the asteroid at 25° E. If the earth rotates in 24 hours 360 degrees, then it must it rotates in 5.1 h at 77 degrees.
Answer:
The phenomenon known as "tunneling" is one of the best-known predictions of quantum physics, because it so dramatically confounds our classical intuition for how objects ought to behave. If you create a narrow region of space that a particle would have to have a relatively high energy to enter, classical reasoning tells us that low-energy particles heading toward that region should reflect off the boundary with 100% probability. Instead, there is a tiny chance of finding those particles on the far side of the region, with no loss of energy. It's as if they simply evaded the "barrier" region by making a "tunnel" through it.
