A beam of electrons is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 0.200 kV and then passes through a thin slit. Whe

n viewed far from the slit, the diffracted beam shows its first diffraction minima at ± 13.6 ∘ from the original direction of the beam.
Do we need to use relativity formulas? Select the correct answer and explanation.

a. No. The electrons gain kinetic energy K as they are accelerated through a potential difference V, so Ve=K=mc2/(γ−1). The potential difference is 0.200 kV , soVe= 0.200 keV. Solving for γ and using the fact that the rest energy of an electron is0.511 MeV, we have γ–1=(0.511MeV)/(0.200keV) so γ−1>>1 which means that we do not have to use special relativity.
b. Yes. The electrons gain kinetic energy K as they are accelerated through a potential difference V, so Ve=K=(γ−1)mc2. The potential difference is 0.200 kV , soVe= 0.200 keV. Solving for γ and using the fact that the rest energy of an electron is0.511 MeV, we have γ–1=(0.200keV)/(0.511MeV) so γ<<1 which means that we have to use special relativity.
c. Yes. The electrons gain kinetic energy K as they are accelerated through a potential difference V, so Ve=K=mc2/(γ−1). The potential difference is 0.200 kV , soVe= 0.200 keV. Solving for γ and using the fact that the rest energy of an electron is0.511 MeV, we have γ–1=(0.511MeV)/(0.200keV) so γ>>1 which means that we have to use special relativity.
d. No. The electrons gain kinetic energy K as they are accelerated through a potential difference V, so Ve=K=(γ−1)mc2. The potential difference is 0.200 kV , soVe= 0.200 keV. Solving for γ and using the fact that the rest energy of an electron is 0.511 MeV, we have γ–1=(0.200keV)/(0.511MeV) so γ−1<<1 which means that we do not have to use special relativity.

Answer:

a) the correct answer is d , b)    a = 3.69 10⁻⁸ m

Explanation:

a) to see which answer is correct let's sketch the solution to the problem

            ΔU = K

            K = (γ -1) mc²

            (γ -1) = K / mc²

            (γ-1) = ΔU / mc²

            (γ-1) = e V / mc²

           

If we work in electron volt units ΔU = V    [eV]

           (γ-1) = V / mc²

           (γ -1) = 0.2 10³ / 0.511 10⁶

           (γ -1) = 3.9 10⁻⁴

As it is very small, relativistic corrections are not necessary.

Checking the correct answer is d

b) let's use De Broglie's relationship to find the wavelength of electrons

           λ = h / p = h / mv

Let's look for the speed of electrons, for this we use the concept of energy conservation

Initial

        Em₀ = ΔU = e ΔV

Final

         Emf = K = ½ m v²

         Em₀ = Emf

        e ΔV = ½ m v²

        v = √ (2 e ΔV / m)

        v = √ (2 1.60 10⁻¹⁹ 0.2 10³ / 9.1 10⁻³¹)

        v = √ (70.33 10¹²)

        v = 8.39 10⁶ m / s

Much less than the speed of light

We replace

             λ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ / (9.1 10⁻³¹ 8.39 10⁶)

            λ = 8.68 10⁻⁹ m

The diffraction is explained by the expression

           a sin θ = m λ

The minimum occurs for m = 1

           a = λ / sin θ

           a = 8.68 10⁻⁹ / sin 13.6

           a = 3.69 10⁻⁸ m

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of gas , work done

W = ∫ p dV , p is pressure and dV is small change in volume

the limit of integration is from Vi to Vf .

= ∫ p dV

=  ∫ p₀V^{-\frac{6}{5}  dV

= p₀ V^{-\frac{6}{5} +1} / ( \frac{-6}{5} +1 )

=  - 5p₀ V^{-\frac{1}{5}

Taking limit from Vi  to Vf

W = - 5 p₀ ( V_f^\frac{-1}{5} - V_i^{\frac{-1}{5}  ) ltr- atm.

A space vehicle deploys its re–entry parachute when it's traveling at a vertical velocity of –150 meters/second (negative becaus
dexar [7]

Answer:

a=5m/s^2

Explanation:

Aceleration is a change on the velocity of the object in a given time.

For this case: the initial velocity is

v_{1}=150m/s

and the final velocity is :

v_{2}=0 m/s

so, the change in velocity is:

\Delta v =v_{2}-v_{1}=0m/s - (-150m/s) =  150 m/s

and the change in time , according to the problem:

\Delta t=30s

So, the aceleration is:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{150m/s}{30s} = 5m/s^2

With your hand parallel to the floor and your palm upright, you lower a 3-kg book downward. If the force exerted on the book by
Stells [14]
For Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the book is equal to the product between the mass of the book and its acceleration:
\sum F = ma (1)

There are only two forces acting on the book:
- its weight, directed downward: mg
- the force exerted by the hand on the book, of 20 N, directed upward

so, equation (1) becomes
mg - F = ma
from which we can calculate the book's acceleration, a:
a= g -  \frac{F}{m}= 9.81 m/s^2 - \frac{20 N}{3 kg}=3.14 m/s^2

MrMuchimi

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<u>Independent variable</u>: Type of drug (Mem-Reen or placebo)

<u>Dependent variable</u>: memories

<u>Experimental group</u>: The group that was given Mem-Reen

<u>Control group</u>: The group that was given placebo

<u>Constants</u>: Food, hours of sleep, memory test procedures.

The independent variable is an input variable that produces effects on the dependent variable. As the variable is changed, it produces different effects on the dependent variable.

The dependent variable is the actual variable that is measured during an experiment. It is the main purpose of setting-up of an experiment.

The experimental group is also referred to as the treatment group while the control group is the group that does not receive treatment at all or they receive fake treatment/placebo.

Constants are unchanging variables included in experiments. They remain unchanged both in the treatment and the control group, otherwise, the outcome of the experiment will be unreliable.

An 80-g particle moving with an initial speed of 50 m/s in the positive x direction strikes and sticks to a 60-g particle moving
liubo4ka [24]

The collision is a form of inelastic collision because the it forms a single mass after is collides. So it can be solve by momentum balance

( 0.08 kg * 50 m/s ) + ( 0.06 kg * 50 m/s) = ( 0.08 + 0.06 kg ) v

V = 50 m/s

So the kinetic energy lost is

KE = 0.5 (50 m/s)^2) *( 0.14 – 0.08kg )

KE = 75 J
