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

bekas [8.4K]

The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker, decreasing to one-fourth of the original value

A single strain gage has a nominal resistance of 120 ohm. For a quarter bridge with 120 ohm fixed resistors, strain gauge factor
natita [175]

Answer:

Output voltage is 1.507 mV

Solution:

As per the question:

Nominal resistance, R = 120\Omega

Fixed resistance, R = 120\Omega

Gauge Factor, G.F = 2.01

Supply Voltage, V_{s} = 3\ V

Strain, \epsilon = 1000\times 10^{-6}\ strain

Now,

To calculate the output voltage, V_{o}:

WE know that strain is given by:

\epsilon = \frac{(R + R')^{2}V_{o}}{RR'V_{s}\times G.F}

Thus

V_{o} = \frac{RR'V_{s}\epsilon \times G.F}{(R + R')^{2}}

Now, substituting the suitable values in the above eqn:

V_{o} = \frac{120\times 120\times 3\times 1000\times 10^{-6}\times 2.01}{(120 + 120)^{2}}

V_{o} = 1.507\ mV

9. a. Determine the mass of a football which has a weight of 0.80 N on a planet where the gravitational field strength is 2 N/kg
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

m = 0.4 [kg]

Explanation:

Weight is considered as a force and this is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

W=m*g\\

where:

W = weight = 0.8 [N]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration 2[N/kg]

Therefore:

m=W/g\\m = .8/2\\m = 0.4 [kg]
