Answer:

t = 4.17 hours

Explanation:

given,

The distance between Sun and Neptune, d = 4.5 billion Km

                                                                         = 4.5 x 10⁹ Km

                                                                          = 4.5 x 10¹¹ m

The velocity of light, c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The velocity is always equal to displacement by the time.

                                           <em>V = d / t    m/s</em>

∴                                           t = d / V

                                               = 4.5 x 10¹¹ m / 3 x 10⁸ m/s

                                               = 15,000 s

                                               = 4.17 h

Hence, the time taken by the light rays to reach the Neptune is, t = 4.17 h

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of (a) a mass of 1.0 g traveling at 1.0 m s−1 , (b) the same, traveling at 1.00 × 105 km s−1
lesantik [10]

Answer:

a)\lambda=6.63\times10^{-31}m

b)\lambda=6.63\times10^{-39}m

c)\lambda=9.97\times10^{-11}m

d)\lambda=4.03\times10^{-36}m

e)λ=∞

Explanation:

De Broglie discovered that an electron or other mass particles can have a wavelength associated, and that wavelength (λ) is:

\lambda=\frac{h}{P}=\frac{h}{mv}

with h the Plank's constant (6.63\times10^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s}) and P the momentum of the object that is mass (m) times velocity (v).

a)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(1.0\times10^{-3}kg*1.0)}

\lambda=6.63\times10^{-31}m

b)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(1.0\times10^{-3}*(1.00\times10^{8}))}

\lambda=6.63\times10^{-39}m

c)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(6.65\times10^{-27}*1000)}

\lambda=9.97\times10^{-11}m

d)\lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(74*2.22)}

\lambda=4.03\times10^{-36}m

e) \lambda=\frac{6.63\times10^{-34}}{(74*0)}

λ=∞

What happens to acceleration if forces are balanced
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

No acceleration.

Explanation:

If the forces are Balanced it means they are in equilibrium and there will be  no net force, therefore the object will not accelerate and the velocity will remain constant.
