A scalar is a value that:

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of: a) A person running across the room (assume 180 kg at 1 m/s) b) A 5.0 MeV proton

solmaris [256]

Answer:

a

$\lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \ m$

b

$\lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the person is $m = 180 \ kg$

The speed of the person is $v = 1 \ m/s$

The energy of the proton is $E_ p = 5 MeV = 5 *10^{6} eV = 5.0 *10^6 * 1.60 *10^{-19} = 8.0 *10^{-13} \ J$

Generally the de Broglie wavelength is mathematically represented as

$\lambda = \frac{h}{m * v }$

Here h is the Planck constant with the value

$h = 6.62607015 * 10^{-34} J \cdot s$

So

$\lambda = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{ 180 * 1 }$

=> $\lambda = 3.68 *10^{-36} \ m$

Generally the energy of the proton is mathematically represented as

$E_p = \frac{1}{2} * m_p * v^2_p$

Here $m_p$ is the mass of proton with value $m_p = 1.67 *10^{-27} \ kg$

=> $8.0*10^{-13} = \frac{1}{2} * 1.67 *10^{-27} * v^2$

=> $v _p= \sqrt{\frac{8.0 *10^{-13}}{ 0.5 * 1.67 *10^{-27}} }$

=> $v = 3.09529 *10^{7} \ m/s$

So

$\lambda_p = \frac{h}{m_p * v_p }$

so $\lambda_p = \frac{6.62607015 * 10^{-34}}{1.67 *10^{-27} * 3.09529 *10^{7} }$

=> $\lambda_p = 1.28*10^{-14} \ m$

When the Glen Canyon hydroelectric power plant in Arizona is running at capacity, 690 m3 of water flows through the dam each sec

bixtya [17]

Answer:

1340.2MW

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem follow the steps below!

1 finds the maximum maximum power, using the hydraulic power equation which is the product of the flow rate by height by the specific weight of fluid

W=αhQ

α=specific weight for water =9.81KN/m^3

h=height=220m

Q=flow=690m^3/s

W=(690)(220)(9.81)=1489158Kw=1489.16MW

2. Taking into account that the generator has a 90% efficiency, Find the real power by multiplying the ideal power by the efficiency of the electric generator

Wr=(0.9)(1489.16MW)=1340.2MW

the maximum possible electric power output is 1340.2MW

Answer:

Atomic Size and Mass:

convert given density to kg/m^3 = 8900kg/m^3 2) convert to moles/m^3 (kg/m^3 * mol/kg) = 150847 mol/m^3 (not rounding in my actual calculations) 3) convert to atoms/m^3 (6.022^23 atoms/mol) = 9.084e28 atoms/m^3 4) take the cube root to get the number of atoms per meter, = 4495309334 atoms/m 5) take the reciprocal to get the diameter of an atom, = 2.2245e-10 m/atom 6) find the mass of one atom (kg/mol * mol/atoms) = 9.7974e-26 kg/atom Young's Modulus: Y=(F/A)/(dL/L) 1) F=mg = (45kg)(9.8N/kg) = 441 N 2) A = (0.0018m)^2 = 3.5344e-6 m^2 3) dL = 0.0016m 4) L = 2.44m 5) Y = 1.834e11 N/m^2 Interatomic Spring Stiffness: Ks,i = dY 1) From above, diameter of one atom = 2.2245e-10 m 2) From above, Y = 1.834e11 N/m^2 3) Ks,i = 40.799 N/m (not rounding in my actual calculations) Speed of Sound: v = ωd 1) ω = √(Ks,i / m,a) 2) From above, Ks,i = 40.799 N/m 3) From above, m,a = 9.7974e-26 kg 4) ω=2.0406e13 N/m*kg 5) From above, d=2.2245e-10 m 6) v=ωd = 4539 m/s (not rounding in actual calculations) Time Elapsed: 1) length sound traveled = L+dL = 2.44166 m 2) From above, speed of sound = 4539 m/s 3) T = (L+dL)/v = 0.000537505 s

Approximate the Sun as a uniform sphere of radius 6.96 X 108 m, rotating about its central axis with a period of 25.4 days. Supp

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

T = 184 seconds

Explanation:

First in order to solve this, we need to know which is the expression to calculate the period. This is an exercise of angular velocity, so:

T = 2π/w

Where w: angular speed (in rad/s)

So, let's calculate first the innitial angular speed:

w = 2π/T

Converting days to seconds:

25.4 days * 24 h/day * 3600 s/h = 2,194,560 s

Then the angular speed:

w = 2π / 2,194,560 = 2.863x10^-6 rad/s

Now, the innitial angular momentum is:

I = (2/5)Mr² replacing data:

I = 2/5* (6.96x10^8)² * M = 1.94x10^17m² * M

so the initial angular momentum would be:

L = Iω = 2.863x10^-6 * 1.94x10^17 M

L = 5.55x10^11 m²/s * M = final angular momentum

Now the final I = 2/5Mr²

Final I = 2/5 * (6.37x10^6)² * M = 1.62x10^13m² * M

Then 5.55x10^11m²/s * M = 1.62x10^13m² * M * ω → M cancels

ω = 3.42x10^-2 rad/s

Then the new period

T = 2π/ω = 2*3.14 / 3.42x10^-2

T = 184 seconds
