Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of: a) A person running across the room (assume 180 kg at 1 m/s) b) A 5.0 MeV proton

Physics

Answer:

a

\lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \  m

b

\lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the person is  m =  180 \  kg

    The speed of the person is  v  =  1 \  m/s

    The energy of the proton is  E_ p =  5 MeV = 5 *10^{6} eV  = 5.0 *10^6 * 1.60 *10^{-19} = 8.0 *10^{-13} \  J

Generally the de Broglie wavelength is mathematically represented as

      \lambda = \frac{h}{m * v }

Here  h is the Planck constant with the value

      h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s

So  

     \lambda = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{ 180  * 1  }

=> \lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \  m

Generally the energy of the proton is mathematically represented as

         E_p =  \frac{1}{2}  *   m_p  *  v^2_p

Here m_p  is the mass of proton with value  m_p  =  1.67 *10^{-27} \  kg

=>     8.0*10^{-13} =  \frac{1}{2}  *   1.67 *10^{-27}  *  v^2

=>   v _p= \sqrt{\frac{8.0 *10^{-13}}{ 0.5 * 1.67 *10^{-27}} }

=>   v = 3.09529 *10^{7} \  m/s

So

        \lambda_p = \frac{h}{m_p * v_p }

so    \lambda_p = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{1.67 *10^{-27} * 3.09529 *10^{7} }

=>     \lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m

The four terrestrial planets are so called because they ?
velikii [3]
Well, you need no look further than the word "terrestrial" If you notice the beginning of the word you notice that it consists mostly of the word "terra" Terra by definition is just land. Due to the solid land of these 4 planets, they're called terrestrial planets, the other 4 aren't made of land but of gas which is why they aren't classified as terrestrial planets.

The displacement volume of an automobile engine is 167 in3. what is the displacement volume in liters?
forsale [732]

The displacement volume in liters is 2.74 liters.

<h3>What is displacement volume?</h3>

Displacement volume is the quantity of solvent that will be displaced by a specified quantity of a solid during dissolution.

It can also be defined as the volume displaced by the piston as it moves between top dead center and bottom dead center in a car engine.

<h3>Displacement volume in liters</h3>

1 liter = 61.02 in³

? = 167 in³

= 167/61.02

= 2.74 liters

Thus, the displacement volume in liters is 2.74 liters.

A pitcher exerts a force on a baseball that is 30 times the balls weight. How fast is the pitcher accelerating the ball?
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

 Pitcher is accelerating the ball at 30 times of acceleration due to gravity = 294 m/s²

Explanation:

  Force applied on baseball = 30 times weight of the ball.

   Weight of ball = mg, where m is the mass of ball and g is acceleration due to gravity value.

  We have force applied is also equal to product of mass and acceleration.

                            F = ma = 30 x mg

                                 a = 30g

   So, pitcher is accelerating the ball at 30 times of acceleration due to gravity = 294 m/s²

What a measurement? Write down t its importance inn an our daily life.​
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Time, size, distance, speed, direction, weight, volume, temperature, pressure, force, sound, light, energy—these are among the physical properties for which humans have developed accurate measures, without which we could not live our normal daily lives. Measurement permeates every aspect of human life.
