As part of a NASA experiment, golfer Tiger Woods drives a golf ball on the moon, where g = 1.60 m/s2. He launches a golf ball wi

th a speed of 285 km/h, at an angle of 42° with the horizontal. What horizontal distance will his drive travel before landing back on the surface of the moon. Ignore the curvature of the moon.

Answer:

Horizontal distance, R = vo2 sin(2x45)/g

v = 285 km/h = 79.17 m/s

R = 79.172 x 1/1.6

R = 3917 m

R = 3.9 km

a 42.3 kg girl and a 7.93 kg sled are on the surface of a frozen lake, 15.0m apart and linked by a rope, but not moving yet. the

ycow [4]

Answer:

they meet from the girl's original position at: 2.37 (meters)

Explanation:

We need to use the Newton's law, exactly the second law that relate force, mass and acceleration as: $F=m*a$ with this we can get both accelerations; solving for acceleration $a=\frac{F}{m}$ . Now $a_{girl}=\frac{5.76}{42.3}=0.14 (m/s^{2})$ and $a_{sled}=\frac{5.76}{7.93}=0.73(m/s^{2})$ . Then knowing that they both travel at the same time and assuming that the distance among the girl and the sled is: 15.0-x, so, $x=\frac{1}{2}*a_{girl}*t^{2}$ and $15.0-x=\frac{1}{2}*a_{sled}*t^{2}$ , solving for the time we get: $t=\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a_{girl} } }$ and $t=\sqrt{\frac{2*(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} } }$ with this equations we solving for the x that is the distance between the girl and the sled after the apply the force and we get: $\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a_{girl}}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} }$ . Finally we get: $\frac{x}{a_{girl} }=\frac{(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} }$ and replacing the values we have got: $\frac{x}{0.14} =\frac{(15.0-x)}{0.73}$ so $5.33*x=15-x$ so x=2.37 (meters).

A photon of wavelength 2.78 pm scatters at an angle of 147° from an initially stationary, unbound electron. What is the de Brogl

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

2.07 pm

Explanation:

The problem given here is the very well known Compton effect which is expressed as

$\lambda^{'}-\lambda=\frac{h}{m_e c}(1-cos\theta)$

here, $\lambda$ is the initial photon wavelength, $\lambda^{'}$ is the scattered photon wavelength, h is he Planck's constant, $m_e$ is the free electron mass, c is the velocity of light, $\theta$ is the angle of scattering.

Given that, the scattering angle is, $\theta=147^{\circ}$

Putting the respective values, we get

$\lambda^{'}-\lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} }{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 3\times 10^{8} } (1-cos147^\circ ) m\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=2.42\times 10^{-12} (1-cos147^\circ ) m.\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=2.42(1-cos147^\circ ) p.m.\\\lambda^{'}-\lambda=4.45 p.m.$

Here, the photon's incident wavelength is $\lamda=2.78pm$

Therefore,

$\lambda^{'}=2.78+4.45=7.23 pm$

From the conservation of momentum,

$\vec{P_\lambda}=\vec{P_{\lambda^{'}}}+\vec{P_e}$

where, $\vec{P_\lambda}$ is the initial photon momentum, $\vec{P_{\lambda^{'}}}$ is the final photon momentum and $\vec{P_e}$ is the scattered electron momentum.

Expanding the vector sum, we get

$P^2_{e}=P^2_{\lambda}+P^2_{\lambda^{'}}-2P_\lambda P_{\lambda^{'}}cos\theta$

Now expressing the momentum in terms of De-Broglie wavelength

$P=h/\lambda,$

and putting it in the above equation we get,

$\lambda_{e}=\frac{\lambda \lambda^{'}}{\sqrt{\lambda^{2}+\lambda^{2}_{'}-2\lambda \lambda^{'} cos\theta}}$

Therefore,

$\lambda_{e}=\frac{2.78\times 7.23}{\sqrt{2.78^{2}+7.23^{2}-2\times 2.78\times 7.23\times cos147^\circ }} pm\\\lambda_{e}=\frac{20.0994}{9.68} = 2.07 pm$

This is the de Broglie wavelength of the electron after scattering.
