The De Broglie wavelength of the electron is
And we can use De Broglie's relationship to find its momentum:
Given
, with m being the electron mass and v its velocity, we can find the electron's velocity:
This velocity is quite small compared to the speed of light, so the electron is non-relativistic and we can find its kinetic energy by using the non-relativistic formula:
Answer:
When two objects collide and stick together, what will happen to their speed, assuming momentum is conserved? They will move at the same velocity as whichever object was fastest initially. They will move at the same velocity of whichever object was slowest initially.
Explanation:
The correct answer is they get closer together
Going from gas into a liquid makes the molecules move closer together, which happens again when you turn it into a solid.
Hi there!
Recall Newton's Second Law:
∑F = net force (N)
m = mass (kg)
a = acceleration (m/s²)
We must begin by solving for the acceleration using the following:
a = Δv/t
In this instance:
Δv = 3 m/s
t = 2.5 sec
a = 3/2.5 = 1.2 m/s²
Now, plug this value along with the mass into the equation for net force:
