The kinetic energy of a proton and that of an a-particle are 4 eV and 1 eV,

madam [21]

Answer:

(b) 1:1

Explanation:

1. Formulae:

E = hf

E = h.v/λ

λ = h/(mv)

E = (1/2)mv²

Where:

E = kinetic energy of the particle
λ = de-Broglie wavelength
m = mass of the particle
v = speed of the particle
h = Planck constant

2. Reasoning

An alha particle contains 2 neutrons and 2 protons, thus its mass number is 4.

A proton has mass number 1.

Thus, the relative masses of an alpha particle and a proton are:

$\dfrac{m_\alpha}{m_p}=4$

For the kinetic energies you find:

$\dfrac{E_\alpha}{E_p}=\dfrac{m_\alpha \times v_\alpha^2}{m_p\times v_p^2}$

$\dfrac{1eV}{4eV}=\dfrac{4\times v_\alpha^2}{1\times v_p^2}\\\\\\\dfrac{v_p^2}{v_\alpha^2}=16\\\\\\\dfrac{v_p}{v_\alpha}=4$

Thus:

$\dfrac{m_\alpha}{m_p}=4=\dfrac{v_p}{v__\alpha}$

$m_\alpha v_\alpha=m_pv_p$

From de-Broglie equation, λ = h/(mv)

$\dfrac{\lambda_p}{\lambda_\alpha}=\dfrac{m_\lambda v_\lambda}{m_pv_p}=\dfrac{1}{1}=1:1$

What is the term used for sediments building up at the mouth of the river? (Hint: think New Orleans)

meriva

I believe it’s called Alluvium! It’s where the river mouth is build up of gravel,sand,silt, and clay!!

Vector → A points due north and vector → B points due west. Both vectors have the same magnitude. Which of the following vectors

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

B - A

Explanation:

For the combination of 2 vector to due southwest, 1 vector must due south and the other vector due west. Since vector B is already due west, vector A should due south. As vector A is already due north, vector -A would due south. So the combination of B + (-A) or B - A should points southwest

A proton is confined within an atomic nucleus of diameter 3.60 fm. part a estimate the smallest range of speeds you might find f

Cerrena [4.2K]

The answer for this problem would be:
Assuming non-relativistic momentum, then you have:
ΔxΔp = mΔxΔv = h / (4)
Δv = h / (4πmΔx)
m ~ 1.67e-27 h ~ 6.62e-34,Δx = 4e-15 -->
Δv ~ 6.62e-34 / (4π * 1.67e-27 * 4e-15) ~ 7,886,270 m/s ~ 7.89e6 m/s
That's about 1% of the speed of light, the assumption that it's non-relativistic.
