Answer:

Scientific models are representations of objects, systems or events and are used as tools for understanding the natural world. Models use familiar objects to represent unfamiliar things. Models can help scientists communicate their ideas, understand processes, and make predictions.

Review. From a large distance away, a particle of mass 2.00 g and charge 15.0σC is fired at 21.0 i^ m/s straight toward a second

(a)

Determine the system's initial configuration at ri = infinite particle separation and the system's final configuration at the point of closest approach.

Since the two-particle system is not being affected by any outside forces, we may treat it as an isolated system for momentum and use the momentum conservation law.

m1v1 + m1v2 = (m1+m2)v

The second particle's starting velocity is zero, so:

m1v1 = (m1+m2)v

After substituting the values we get,

v = 6i m/s

(b)

Since the two particle system is also energy-isolated, we may use the energy-conservation principle.

dK + dU = 0

Ki +Ui = Kf + Uf

Substituting the values,

1/2m1v1^2i + 1/2 m2v2^2i + 0 = 1/2m1v1^2f + 1/2m2v2^2f +ke q1q2/rf

The second particle's initial speed is 0 (v2 = 0). Additionally, both the first and second particle's final velocity have the same value, v. Put these values in place of the preceding expression:

1/2m1v1^2i = 1/2m1v1^2 + 1/2m2v2^2 +ke q1q2/rf

After solving we get,

rf = 2ke q1q2 / m1v1^2 - (m1+m2)v^2

Substituting the values we get,

rf = 3.64m

(c)

v1f = (m1-m2 / m1 + m2) v1i

v1f = -9i m/s

(d)

v2f = (2m1/ m1 +m2) v1i

After substituting the values,

v2f = 12i m/ s

Question :

Review. From a large distance away, a particle of mass 2.00 g and charge 15.0 \muμC is fired at 21.0 m/s straight toward a second particle, originally stationary but free to move, with mass 5.00 g and charge 8.50 \muμC. Both particles are constrained to move only along the x axis. (a) At the instant of closest approach, both particles will be moving at the same velocity. Find this velocity. (b) Find the distance of closest approach. After the interaction, the particles will move far apart again. At this time, find the velocity of (c) the 2.00-g particle and (d) the 5.00-g particle. \hat{i}

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.

A horizontal pipe contains water at a pressure of 110 kPa flowing with a speed of 1.4 m/s. When the pipe narrows to one half its

Pavel [41]

Answer:

$v_2 = 5.6 \ m/s$

$P_2 = 80600 \ Pa$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The pressure of the water in the pipe is $P_1= 110 \ kPa = 110 *10^{3 } \ Pa$

The speed of the water is $v_1 = 1.4 \ m/s$

The original area of the pipe is $A_1 = \pi \frac{d^2 }{4}$

The new area of the pipe is $A_2 = \pi * \frac{[\frac{d}{2} ]^2}{4} = \pi * \frac{\frac{d^2}{4} }{4} = \pi \frac{d^2}{16}$

Generally the continuity equation is mathematically represented as

$A_1 * v_1 = A_2 * v_2$

Here $v_2$ is the new velocity

$\pi * \frac{d^2}{4} * 1.4 = \pi * \frac{d^2}{16} * v_2$

=> $\frac{d^2}{4} * 1.4 = \frac{d^2}{16} * v_2$

=> $d^2 * 1.4 = \frac{d^2}{4} * v_2$

=> $1.4 = 0.25 * v_2$

=> $v_2 = 5.6 \ m/s$

Generally given that the height of the original pipe and the narrower pipe are the same , then we will b making use of the Bernoulli's equation for constant height to calculate the pressure

This is mathematically represented as

$P_1 + \frac{1}{2} * \rho * v_1 ^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} * \rho * v_2 ^2$

Here $\rho$ is the density of water with value $\rho = 1000 \ kg /m^3$

$P_2 = P_1 + \frac{1}{2} * \rho [ v_1^2 - v_2^2 ]$

=> $P_2 = 110 *10^{3} + \frac{1}{2} * 1000 * [ 1.4 ^2 - 5.6 ^2 ]$

=> $P_2 = 80600 \ Pa$
