In a Rutherford scattering experiment, alpha parti- cles having kinetic energy of 7.70 MeV are fired toward a gold nucleus that remains at rest during the collision. The alpha particles come as close as 29.5 fm to the gold nucleus before turning around. (a) Calculate the de Broglie wave- length for the 7.70-MeV alpha particle and compare it with the distance of closest approach, 29.5 fm. (b) Based on this comparison, why is it proper to treat the alpha particle as a particle and not as a wave in the Rutherford scattering experiment

Answers

Answer 1

(a) The de Broglie wavelength is approximately 5.175 × 10⁻¹⁵  meters. The wavelength is lesser than the distance of closest approach

(b) It is proper to treat the alpha particle as a particle and not as wave because the distance of closest approach is much larger than and not comparable to its wavelength for the alpha particle for the alpha particle to be treated as a wave

The given parameters are;

The kinetic energy of the alpha particles = 7.70 MeV = 1.23368 × 10⁻¹² J

The distance from the gold nucleus the alpha particles reach = 29.5 fm

(a) The de Broglie wavelength of a particle is given as follows;

[tex]\mathbf{\lambda = \dfrac{h}{p}}[/tex]

Where;

λ = The wavelength

h = Planck's constant = 6.62607004 × 10⁻³⁴ m²·kg/s

p = The momentum of the particle = Mass of an electron, m × Velocity, v

The mass of an alpha particle, m ≈ 6.645 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

Therefore;

[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{h}{m \times v}[/tex]

The kinetic energy of the alpha particle, K.E. = (1/2)·m·v²

∴ v = √(2 × K.E./m)

Therefore;

[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{h}{m \times \sqrt{2 \times \dfrac{K.E.}{m} } } = \dfrac{h}{ \sqrt{2 \times m \times K.E.} }[/tex]

Plugging in the values of the variables gives;

[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{6.62607004 \times 10 ^{-34} }{ \sqrt{2 \times 6.645 \times 10 ^{-27} \times 1.23368 \times 10^{-12} } } \approx 5.175 \times 10^{-15}[/tex]

The de Broglie wavelength of the alpha particle, λ ≈ 5.175 × 10⁻¹⁵ m

The distance of closest approach = 29.5 fm = 29.5 × 10⁻¹⁵ m

Compared to the distance of closest approach, the wavelength of the alpha particle is lesser than the distance of closest approach

(b)  Given that the distance of closest approach is six times larger than the wavelength of the alpha particle, and alpha particle behaving as waves are expected to approach closer to the gold nucleus in the region of their wavelength before deflection, therefore, the larger distance of closest approach is indicative of a charged particle to charged particle interaction, and therefore, particle behavior of alpha particles.

Explanation:

A uniform, solid sphere of radius 2.50 cm and mass 4.75 kg starts with a purely translational speed of 3.00 m/s at the top of an inclined plane. The surface of the incline is 2.75 m long, and is tilted at an angle of 22.0∘ with respect to the horizontal. Assuming the sphere rolls without slipping down the incline, calculate the sphere's final translational speed v2 at the bottom of the ramp.

Answers

Answer:

The final translational seed at the bottom of the ramp is approximately 4.84 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The radius of the sphere, R = 2.50 cm

The mass of the sphere, m = 4.75 kg

The translational speed at the top of the inclined plane, v = 3.00 m/s

The length of the inclined plane, l = 2.75 m

The angle at which the plane is tilted, θ = 22.0°

We have;

[tex]K_i[/tex] + [tex]U_i[/tex] = [tex]K_f[/tex] + [tex]U_f[/tex]

K = (1/2)×m×v²×(1 + I/(m·r²))

I = (2/5)·m·r²

K =  (1/2)×m×v²×(1 + 2/5) = 7/10 × m×v²

U = m·g·h

h = l×sin(θ)

h = 2.75×sin(22.0°)

∴ 7/10×4.75×3.00² + 4.75×9.81×2.75×sin(22.0°) = 7/10 × 4.75×[tex]v_f[/tex]² + 0

7/10×4.75×3.00² + 4.75×9.81×2.75×sin(22.0°) ≈ 77.93

∴ 77.93 ≈ 7/10 × 4.75×[tex]v_f[/tex]²

[tex]v_f[/tex]² = 77.93/(7/10 × 4.75)

[tex]v_f[/tex] ≈ √(77.93/(7/10 × 4.75)) ≈ 4.84

The final translational seed at the bottom of the ramp, [tex]v_f[/tex] ≈ 4.84 m/s.

Answers

Answer:

a. 5 batteries b. 1050 mAh

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

A student project is required to be portable and hand held. It requires 6 V DC power at a current of 150 mA. The batteries for the power supply must last for a minimum of 7 hours of continuous operation. NiMH rechargeable batteries in AA size are to be used. A) How many batteries are needed? B) What mAh capacity should the batteries have?

Solution

A) How many batteries are needed?

Since the nominal voltage for a single NiMH battery is 1.2 V per battery and we require 6V DC power, we combine the batteries in series to obtain a total voltage of 6 V. The number of batteries required, n = total voltage/voltage per cell = 6V/1.2V per battery = 5 batteries

So, the number of batteries needed is 5.

B) What mAh capacity should the batteries have?

Since the batteries are in series, they would each deliver a current of 150 mA. Since we require a current of 150 mA for 7 hours, the number of milliampere-hours capacity mAh of batteries required is Q = It where I = current = 150 mA and t = time = 7 hours.

So, Q = It = 150 mA × 7 h = 1050 mAh.

So, the batteries should have a mAh of 1050 mAh

Explanation:

Hydroplaning also refers to aquaplaning and this refers to the scenario whereby there's a layer of water that builds between the tyres of a car and the surface of the road which then brings about a loss of traction which eventually leads to a situation whereby the car doesn't respond to control inputs.

Answers

Answer:

Average speed = 0.35 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 1.3 Km

Time = 62 minutes

To find the average speed in m/s;

First of all, we would convert the quantities to their standard unit (S.I) of measurement;

Conversion:

1.3 kilometres to meters = 1.3 * 1000 = 1300 meters

For time;

1 minute = 60 seconds

62 minutes = X

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 62 * 60

X = 3720 seconds

Now, we can calculate the average speed in m/s using the formula;

[tex] Speed = \frac {distance}{time} [/tex]

[tex] Speed = \frac {1300}{3720} [/tex]

Average speed = 0.35 m/s

A 6.0 kg mass is placed on a 20º incline which has a coefficient of friction of 0.15. What is the acceleration of the mass down the incline? show all work please​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The form of Newton's 2nd Law that we use for this is:

F - f = ma where F is the Force pulling the mass down the ramp forward, f is the friction trying to keep it from moving forward, m is the mass and a is the acceleration (and our unknown).

We know mass and we can find f, but we don't have F. But we can solve for that by rewriting our main equation to reflect F:

[tex]wsin\theta-\mu F_n=ma[/tex] That's everything we need.

w is weight: 6.0(9.8). Filling in:

6.0(9.8)sin20 - .15(6.0)(9.8) = 6.0a and

2.0 × 10¹ - 8.8 = 6.0a and

11 = 6.0a so

a = 1.8 m/s/s

From the description of the question, the acceleration is 1.95 ms-2.

What is friction?

The term friction is defined a the force that seeks to prevent the movement of a surface on another.

Now we know that;

ma =mgsinθ -  ukmgcosθ

ma =( 6 * 9.8 * sin 20) - ( 0.15 * 6 * 9.8 * cos 20)

a =  ( 6 * 9.8 * sin 20) - ( 0.15 * 6 * 9.8 * cos 20) /6

a = 20 - 8.29/6

a = 1.95 ms-2

what is the economic application of changes in states of matter

Answers

Answer:

Changes of state are physical changes in matter. They are reversible changes that do not change matter's chemical makeup or chemical properties. For example, when fog changes to water vapor, it is still water and can change back to liquid water again.

Turbine blades are rotated by the steam in the steam turbine.The water at the high temperature get converted into the steam used to rotate the turbine blades.

What is state?

The property of any system on a specified point is known as the state of the system.Pressure,temperature are the properties of the system.

They are reversible modifications that do not alter the chemical composition or characteristics of matter.

The steam turbine blades are turned by the steam. The high-temperature water is turned to steam, which is utilized to rotate the turbine blades.

When fog transforms into water vapor, for example, it is still water and may transform back into liquid water.

7. A thin wire was wound 30 times closely over a boiling tube. The total length of the windings as measured was found to be 6.3mm. Determine the diameter of the wire .​

Answers

Answer:

Diameter of wire = 0.00021 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Number of windings = 30

Length of windings = 6.3 mm to meters = 0.0063 meters

To find the diameter of the wire, we would use this mathematical expression;

Length of windings = number of windings * diameter of wire

Substituting the values into the expression, we have;

0.0063 = 30 * diameter of wire

Diameter of wire = 0.0063/30

Diameter of wire = 0.00021 meters
