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

1 answer:

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

What do you measure when you measure an object’s mass?

Effectus [21]

Answer:

how much space it takes up in the world

Explanation:

1) Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object. 2) Mass is measured by using a balance comparing a known amount of matter to an unknown amount of matter. Weight is measured on a scale.

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.

Enter an expression for the force constant for the floating raft, in terms of L, g, and the density of water, ρ.

andriy [413]

Answer:

K = ρL²g

Explanation:

Consider L as the length of the raft inside the water when the raft is displaced through additional distance y;

Then:

F = upthrust ( restoring force) = weight of the liquid displaced.

$F = V_{\omega} \rho_{\omega} g= A y \rho_{\omega} g$
