Answer:

λ = $1.06 * 10^{-11} m$

Explanation:

Using the De Broglie equation, the characteristic wavelength is given by:

λ = $\frac{h}{p}$

where

h = Planck's constant = $6.626 * 10^{-34}$ Js.

p = momentum

Momentum, p, can be calculated using:

p = $\sqrt{2Em}$

where

m = mass of the electron = $9.11 * 10^{-31}$ kg

E = Energy of the electron = 13.4 keV = $13.4 * 10^3 * 1.6 * 10^{-19}$ J = $2.144 * 10^{-15}$ J

=> p = $\sqrt{2 * 2.144 * 10^{-15} * 9.11 * 10^{-31}}$

p = $\sqrt{3.906 * 10^{-45}}$

p = $6.250 * 10^{-23}$ kgm/s

Therefore, characteristic wavelength, λ, is:

λ = $\frac{6.626 * 10^{-34}}{6.250 * 10^{-23}}$

λ = $1.06 * 10^{-11} m$

A steel rod with a length of l = 1.55 m and a cross section of A = 4.45 cm2 is held fixed at the end points of the rod. What is

Blababa [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to thermal stress. Said stress is defined as the amount of deformation caused by the change in temperature, based on the parameters of the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material, Young's module and the Area or area of the area.

$F = AY\alpha \Delta T$

Where

A = Cross-sectional Area

Y = Young's modulus

$\alpha$ = Coefficient of linear expansion for steel

$\Delta T$ = Temperature Raise

Our values are given as,

$A = 4.45cm^2$

$T = 37K$

$\alpha = 1.17*10^{-5}K^{-1}$

$Y = 200*10^9Gpa$

Replacing we have,

$F = (4.45*10^{-4})(200*10^9)(1.17*10^{-5})(37)$

$F = 38526.1N$

Therefore the size of the force developing inside the steel rod when its temperature is raised by 37K is 38526.1N

What is the total energy q released in a single fusion reaction event for the equation given in the problem introduction? use c2

kkurt [141]

Answer:

$4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J$

Explanation:

The fusion reaction in this problem is

$4^1_1H \rightarrow ^4_2He +2e^+$

The total energy released in the fusion reaction is given by

$\Delta E = c^2 \Delta m$

where

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

$\Delta m$ is the mass defect, which is the mass difference between the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products

For this fusion reaction we have:

$m(^1_1H)=1.007825u$ is the mass of one nucleus of hydrogen

$m(^4_2 He)=4.002603u$ is the mass of one nucleus of helium

So the mass defect is:

$\Delta m =4m(^1_1 H)-m(^4_2 He)=4(1.007825u)-4.002603u=0.028697u$

The conversion factor between atomic mass units and kilograms is

$1u=1.66054\cdot 10^{-27}kg$

So the mass defect is

$\Delta m =(0.028697)(1.66054\cdot 10^{-27})=4.765\cdot 10^{-29}kg$

And so, the energy released is:

$\Delta E=(3.0\cdot 10^8)^2(4.765\cdot 10^{-29})=4.3\cdot 10^{-12} J$

Dawn and Aram have stretched a slinky between them and begin experimenting with waves. As the frequency of the waves is doubled

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

halved

Explanation:

The velocity of the a wave is obtained by multiplying the frequency and wavelength.

$v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

Where

v = Velocity

f = Frequency

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

The velocity here is constant. So, if the frequency is doubled the wavelength is halved.

A 248-g piece of copper is dropped into 390 mL of water at 22.6 °C. The final temperature of the water was measured as 39.9 °C.

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

335°C

Explanation:

Heat gained or lost is:

q = m C ΔT

where m is the mass, C is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

Heat gained by the water = heat lost by the copper

mw Cw ΔTw = mc Cc ΔTc

The water and copper reach the same final temperature, so:

mw Cw (T - Tw) = mc Cc (Tc - T)

Given:

mw = 390 g

Cw = 4.186 J/g/°C

Tw = 22.6°C

mc = 248 g

Cc = 0.386 J/g/°C

T = 39.9°C

Find: Tc

(390) (4.186) (39.9 - 22.6) = (248) (0.386) (Tc - 39.9)

Tc = 335
