What is the speed of a proton whose kinetic energy is 3.4 kev ?

Physics
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]3 years ago
8 0
The kinetic energy of the proton is 3.4 kev
1 kev = 1.602 × 10^-16 joules
therefore 3.4 kev is equivalent to;
3.4 ×  (1.602 ×10^-16)= 5.4468 × 10^-16 J
Kinetic energy is calculated by the formula 1/2mv² where m is the mass and v is the velocity.
Therefore V = √((2 × ( 5.4468×10^-16))/ (1.67 ×10^-27))
                    = 8.077 × 10^5 m/s

Can a runner's average speed be different from her average velocity?
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Since velocity is a vector, meaning it also relies on direction, the average speed can be different from her average velocity. An example would be if a runner turned around and ran backward after running 10 meters and returned to her starting point. If you took her average velocity of the entire trip it would actually be 0 but her average speed obviously would not be. This is why velocity can be negative but speed cannot.

Laser light of wavelength lambda passes through a thin slit of width a and produces its first dark fringes at angles of +/- 30 d
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

D)  θ₂= 36. 6º  

Explanation:

In this diffraction experiment it is described by the equation

               sin θ = m λ

The first dark strip occurs for m = 1 and since the angle is generally small we can approximate sine to the value of the angle

              θ₁ = λ/ a

This equation is valid for linear slits, in the case of a circular slit the problem must be solved in polar coordinates, so the equation changes slightly

             θ₂ = 1.22 λ / a

In the proposed exercise we start with a linear slit of width a, where tes1 = 30º and end with a circular slit of the same diameter

             θ₂ = 1.22 λ / a

 

Let's clear (Lam/a) of equalizing the two equations

             θ₁ = θ₂/ 1.22

             θ₂ = 1.22 θ₁

             θ₂ = 1.22 30

             θ₂= 36. 6º

When reviewing the correct results is D

If the heat of fusion is 32.2 kj/mol, the amount of heat energy required to melt 5.67 grams of feo is
anzhelika [568]
The heat of fusion is the amount of energy required to change the state of one mole of substance from solid to liquid at constant temperature. Therefore, in order to determine the energy needed by a given mass of substance, we must first convert the mass into moles by using:
Moles = mass / Mr
Moles = 5.67 / 71.84
Moles = 0.079 mol

Energy = latent heat of fusion * moles
Energy = 32.2 * 0.079
Energy = 2.544 kJ = 2,544 J

Which of these types of rock form near earths surface? Select all that apply.
OlgaM077 [116]

A. Igneous

Extrusive igneous rocks cool and solidify quicker than intrusive igneous rocks. They are formed by the cooling of molten magma on the earth's surface.
