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 = $1.06 * 10^{-11} m$

THE RELATIVE ANGLE AT THE KNEE CHANGES FROM 0O TO 85O DURING THE KNEE FLEXION PHASE OF A SQUAT EXERCISE. IF 10 COMPLETE SQUATS A

Mice21 [21]

Answer: angular distance = 1700° and 29.7 rad

also the angular displacement = 0

Explanation:

To explain this, i will give a breakdown of this works.

we are asked to find both the angular distance and displacement the knee undergo.

Ok to get the distance of the knee, we would first take note that for one to squat down and get back up, the knee would travel through 85° of flexion to gpo down, and also through another 85° of extension to return standing (upright). So, the actual angular distance of the squat is 170°.

taking ten squats, the knee would have to go through 170° motion times 10 i.e;

10 * 170° = 1700°

Therefore the angulaar distance is 1700°

now converting this distance to radians since we will be required to have our answer in both degree and rad.

Given that 2pi = 360°, it means that one degree will give 57.3°;

∅ (rad) = ∅ (deg) * 2π/360°

∅ (rad) = 1170° * 2π/360° = 29.7 rad

∅ (rad) = 29.7 rad

b. For the other part, let us remember that angular displacement is equal to angular distance divided by time, so the angular displacement displacement of the knee will be zero, because the knee's position at the final third will be the same as the initial position.

cheers i hope this helps!!!!

A.Whale communication. Blue whales apparently communicate with each other using sound of frequency 17.0 Hz, which can be heard n

Y_Kistochka [10]

A. 90.1 m

The wavelength of a wave is given by:

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

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

For the sound emitted by the whale, v = 1531 m/s and f = 17.0 Hz, so the wavelength is

$\lambda=\frac{1531 m/s}{17.0 Hz}=90.1 m$

B. 102 kHz

We can re-arrange the same equation used previously to solve for the frequency, f:

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

where for the dolphin:

v = 1531 m/s is the wave speed

$\lambda=1.50 cm=0.015 m$ is the wavelength

Substituting into the equation,

$f=\frac{1531 m/s}{0.015 m}=1.02 \cdot 10^5 Hz=102 kHz$

C. 13.6 m

Again, the wavelength is given by:

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

where

v = 340 m/s is the speed of sound in air

f = 25.0 Hz is the frequency of the whistle

Substituting into the equation,

$\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{25.0 Hz}=13.6 m$

D. 4.4-8.7 m

Using again the same formula, and using again the speed of sound in air (v=340 m/s), we have:

- Wavelength corresponding to the minimum frequency (f=39.0 Hz):

$\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{39.0 Hz}=8.7 m$

- Wavelength corresponding to the maximum frequency (f=78.0 Hz):

$\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{78.0 Hz}=4.4 m$

So the range of wavelength is 4.4-8.7 m.

E. 6.2 MHz

In order to have a sharp image, the wavelength of the ultrasound must be 1/4 of the size of the tumor, so

$\lambda=\frac{1}{4}(1.00 mm)=0.25 mm=2.5\cdot 10^{-4} m$

And since the speed of the sound wave is

v = 1550 m/s

The frequency will be

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{1550 m/s}{2.5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=6.2\cdot 10^6 Hz=6.2 MHz$

Two resistors have resistances R1= ( 24+- 0.5)ohm and R2 = (8 +-0.3)ohm . Calculate the absolute error and the percentage relati

zysi [14]

Answer:

Absolute error=0.006

Percentage Relative error=0.6

Explanation:

The resistors have resistance of 24 ohm and 8 ohm.

The change in resistance is 0.5 and 0.3 ohm respectively.

Relative error for parallel combination of resistors is

= dR/R²

= dR1/R1² + dR2/R2²

= 0.5/(24)² + 0.3/(8)²

= 0.5/ 24*24 + 0.3/ 64

= 0.5/576+0.3/ 64

= 32 + 172.8/ 36,864

=204.8/ 36,864=0.0055

=0.006

Percentage error =Relative error *100

= 0.006* 100 = 0.6
