Answer:

  • de Broglie wavelength of the bullet is 4.56 x 10⁻³⁴ m
  • The value of the wavelength shows that wave nature of matter is insignificant for the bullet because it is larger than particles.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the bullet, m = 1.9 g = 0.0019 kg

velocity of the bullet, v = 765 m/s

de Broglie wavelength of the bullet is given by;

\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}

where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s

λ is de Broglie wavelength of the bullet

\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}\\\\ \lambda =\frac{(6.626*10^{-34})}{(0.0019)(765)}\\\\  \lambda =4.56 *10^{-34} \ m

Thus, this value of the wavelength shows that wave nature of matter is insignificant for the bullet because it is larger than particles.

describe three small changes that you can make to your current eating habits to support a healthier lifestyle.
Drupady [299]

Answer:   Eat only when you're truly hungry instead of when you are tired, anxious, or feeling an emotion besides hunger.

Plan meals ahead of time to ensure that you eat a healthy well-balanced meal.

Keep more fruits, low-fat dairy products (low-fat milk and low-fat yogurt), vegetables, and whole-grain foods at home and at work.

A rifle has a mass of 7-kg and the bullet has a mass of 0.7-kg. If the velocity of the bullet is 350-m/s after the rifle is fire
nevsk [136]

Answer:

-35 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

Momentum before firing = momentum after firing

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

Before the bullet is fired, the bullet and rifle have no velocity, so u₁ and u₂ are 0.

0 = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

Given m₁ = 0.7 kg, v₁ = 350 m/s, and m₂ = 7 kg:

0 = (0.7 kg) (350 m/s) + (7 kg) v

v = -35 m/s

The rifle recoils at 35 m/s in the opposite direction.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

Given that a light bulb will glow when electrons flow through it. As the electron flow increases, the brightness increases as well. A student hooks up two circuits containing three light bulbs in each circuit. In one circuit the lights are connected in series and in the other circuit the lights are hooked up in parallel.

If you could only see the lights in the circuit and the wires were covered up, how could you tell the type of circuit?

The type of the circuit can be determined if you loose or unscrew one light bulb, all other bulbs will be switched of if connected in series. But if the others remain on it is a parallel circuit.

Bike computers tell the ride what altitude they are at and how the altitude is changing using a basic barometer
forsale [732]
A typical barometer measures the pressure of the location at where you're at. Once it displays the pressure, you can determine the height using the hydrostatic pressure. The equation is written below:

P = ρgh,
where 
ρ is the density of air
g is the acceleration due to gravity
h is the height

Therefore, if the pressure increases, then the height also increases.
