Answer:

14.49 g/cm²

Explanation:

I = Io e^-(ux)

Where:

I = 573

Io = 1045

x = 0.3 inches and

rho = 11.4g/cm^3

Using the conversion constant

1 inch = 2.54 cm;

0.3 inches = 0.3 * 2.54 cm

0.3 inches = 0.762 cm

I/Io = e^-(ux), or say

Io/I = e^(ux), taking the In of both sides

ln(Io/I) = ux, making u subject of formula

u = 1/x * ln(Io/I)

u = 1/0.762 * ln(1045/573)

u = 1.312 * 0.6

u = 0.787

Next, we say that

u/rho = 0.7872/11.4 = 0.069

And finally, we make

1/(u/rho) to be our final answer

Inverse of the answer is = 14.49 g/cm²

Therefore, the um^-1 in g/cm^2? is 14.49

Review. One electron collides elastically with a second electron initially at rest. After the collision, the radii of their traj
DochEvi [55]

The energy of the incident electron in keV is 5.51× 10—²² keV.

Capacity or ability to do work is termed energy. Energy exists in various forms. It can be in the form of mechanical, potential, thermal, kinetic, and many other forms. Joules is the SI of the energy. The potential energy of a system is defined as the energy stored due to its position. While kinetic energy is defined as the energy

stored due to its position.

Radius1 of the trajectory = 1.00 cm

Radius2 of the trajectory = 2.4 0 cm

The magnitude of the uniform magnetic field = 0.0440 T

A Uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the trajectories.

The velocity of the incident electron is,

v =  \frac{eBR}{m}

The energy of the incident electron is,

K =  \frac{1}{2} mv ^{2}

K =  \frac{1}{2} \frac{(eBR)}{m}^{2}

The energy in keV is,

1-kilo electron volt = 1000 electron volts

1 keV = 1000 eV

1 \: eV =  \frac{1}{1000} \:  keV

= \frac{ K}{1000}

=  \frac{eB ^{2} R ^{2} }{2000m}

= 5.51 \times 10 ^{ - 22}  \: keV

Therefore, the energy of the incident electron in keV is 5.51× 10—²² keV.

Goryan [66]
Number one a and b are automatically out if you decrease the pitch or frequency you wont hear it louder it does not add up ok?
number 2 the answer would be C the higher the frequency the higher the pitch the lower the frequency the lower the pitch this just comes back to common sense. for example you cant decrease the frequency and than expect a louder pitch its like saying I am going to smash the key on this piano with all my strength and it will make a small very low pitch sound you get what I mean so your answer would indeed be C.
