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

A 58 g firecracker is at rest at the origin when it explodes into three pieces. The first, with mass 12 g , moves along the x ax
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply conservation of momentum law in vector form to solve the problem .

Initial momentum = 0

momentum of 12 g piece

= .012 x 37 i since it moves along x axis .

= .444 i

momentum of 22 g

= .022 x 34 j

= .748 j

Let momentum of third piece = p

total momentum

= p + .444 i + .748 j

so

applying conservation law of momentum

p + .444 i + .748 j  = 0

p = - .444 i -  .748 j  

magnitude of p

= √ ( .444² + .748² )

= .87 kg m /s

mass of third piece = 58 - ( 12 + 22 )

= 24 g = .024 kg

if v be its velocity

.024 v = .87

v = 36.25 m / s .

What is the intensity of 60dB sound?​
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The intensity of the sound in W/m² is 1 x 10⁻⁶ W/m².

Explanation:

Given;

intensity of the sound level, dB = 60 dB

The intensity of the sound in W/m² is calculated as;

dB = 10 Log[\frac{I}{I_o} ]\\\\

where;

I₀ is threshold of hearing = 1 x 10⁻¹² W/m²

I is intensity of the sound in W/m²

Substitute the given values and for I;

dB = 10 Log[\frac{I}{I_o} ]\\\\60 = 10 Log[\frac{I}{I_o} ]\\\\6 =  Log[\frac{I}{I_o} ]\\\\10^6 = \frac{I}{I_o} \\\\I = 10^6 \ \times \ I_o\\\\I = 10^6 \ \times \ 1^{-12} \ W/m^2 \\\\I = 1\ \times \ 10^{-6} \ W/m^2

Therefore, the intensity of the sound in W/m² is 1 x 10⁻⁶ W/m².

You are given two objects of identical size, one made of aluminum and the other of lead. You hang each object separately from a
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of lead object = volume of aluminium object = V

mass of lead object > mass of aluminium object

When both the objects immersed in water, the buoyant force acting on both the objects.

Buoyant force = Volume immersed  x density of water x gravity

As the volume of both the objects is same, so the buoyant force acting on both the objects is same.

So, weight in air of lead object is more than the weight in air of aluminium object.

Explain how gravity and inertia interact to cause the Earth to revolve around the Sun.
eduard

Answer:

The gravity of the sun and the planets works together with the inertia to create the orbits and keep them consistent. The gravity pulls the sun and the planets together, while keeping them apart. The inertia provides the tendency to maintain speed and keep moving. The planets want to keep moving in a straight line because of the physics of inertia. However, the gravitational pull wants to change the motion to pull the planets into the core of the sun. Together, this creates a rounded orbit as a form of compromise between the two forces.

Explanation:

Hope this answer helps you....
