A) 5.34\cdot 10^5 m/s

The minimum speed of the electron occurs when the electron loses the maximum energy: this occurs when the electron excites the atom from 0.0 eV to 4.0 eV, because in this case the energy given to the atom is maximum.

The energy given by the electron to the atom is equal to the difference between the two energy levels:

\Delta E= 0.0 eV - 4.0 eV =-4.0 eV = -6.4\cdot 10^{-19}J

This is equal to the kinetic energy lost by the electron:

K_f - K_ i = \Delta E\\\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2) = \Delta E

where

m is the electron's mass

v is the final speed of the electron after the collision

u=1.3\cdot 10^6 m/s is the speed of the electron before the collision

Solving for v, we find

v=\sqrt{ \frac{2\Delta E}{m}+u^2}=\sqrt{\frac{2 (-6.4\cdot 10^{-19} J)}{9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg}+(1.3\cdot 10^6 m/s)^2}=5.34\cdot 10^5 m/s

B) 1.16\cdot 10^6 m/s

The maximum speed of the electron occurs when the electron loses the minimum amount of energy: this occurs when the electron excites the atom from 3.0 eV to 4.0 eV, because in this case the energy given to the atom is minimum.

The energy given by the electron to the atom is equal to the difference between the two energy levels, so in this case we have:

\Delta E= 3.0 eV - 4.0 eV =-1.0 eV = -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}J

And so, this time the final speed of the electron after the collision will be given by:

v=\sqrt{ \frac{2\Delta E}{m}+u^2}=\sqrt{\frac{2 (-1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J)}{9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg}+(1.3\cdot 10^6 m/s)^2}=1.16\cdot 10^6 m/s

Water flows into a horizontal, cylindrical pipe at 1.4 m/s. the pipe then narrows until its diameter is halved. what is the pres
inna [77]

According to the Bernoulli's equation,the pressure difference between the wide and narrow ends of the pipe is given by

\Delta P= \frac{1}{2} \rho ( v^2_{2} - v^2_{1} )

Here,  v_{1} is the velocity of water through wide ends of cylindrical pipe and v_{2} is the velocity of water through narrow ends of cylindrical pipe.

Given, v_{1} =1.4 m/s

Now from equation continuity,

v_{1} A_{1} = v_{2} A_{2}.

Here, A_{1} and A_{2} are cross- sectional areas of wide and narrow ends of cylindrical pipe.

As pipe is circular, so

v_{1} \pi r^2_{1} = v_{2} \pi r^2_{2}.

At the second point, the diameter is halved, which means the radius is also halved. Therefore,

v_{1} r^2_{1} = v_{2}(\frac{1}{2} r_{1})^2 \\\\ v_{2} = 4 v_{1}

v_{2} = 4 \times 1.4 = 5.6 m/s

Substituting these values  with the density of water is 1000 \ kg/m^3 in pressure difference formula we get.

\Delta P= \frac{1}{2} \rho ( v^2_{2} - v^2_{1} )=\frac{1}{2}\times 1000 kg/m^3(5.6^2-1.4^2)\\\\ \Delta P = 14700\ Pa

Two poles are connected by a wire that is also connected to the ground. The first pole is 20ft tall and the second pole is 10ft
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: 31.6ft

Explanation:

Check the attachment for the diagram.

According to the right angle triangle AEC, we will use Pythagoras theorem to get |AC|. Note that |AE| = |AB| - |CD|

that is 20ft - 10ft = 10ft

According to the theorem, the square of the sum of the adjacent side and the opposite side is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

|AE|^2 + |EC|^2 = |AC|^2

10^2 + 30^2 = |AC|^2

100 + 900 = |AC|^2

|AC| = √1000

|AC| = 31.6ft

Therefore, the wire should be anchored 31.6ft to the ground to minimize the amount of wire needed.
