Determine the mass of a ball with a velocity of 40.0 m/s and a wavelength of 8.92 Ã 10-34 m.

1 answer:

4 0

The wavelength can be calculated as Planck's constant divided by the momentum of the ball.
This translates to:
lambda = h / p.............> equation I
Momentum is equal to mass times velocity............> equation II

By substituting equation II into equation I, we obtain:
lambda = h / mv
Here are the values provided:
lambda = 8.92 * 10^-34 m
Planck's constant = 6.625 * 10^-34
velocity = 40 m/sec

Substituting these values into the previous equation, we calculate the mass as follows:
8.92*10^-34 = (6.625*10^-34) / (40*m)
mass = 0.0185678 kg

Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

Explanation:

Within a duration of 60 seconds, six waves are observed.

With a total of 6 waves,

this equates to 3 wavelengths.

As a result,

the period for each wavelength is calculated as 60 divided by 3.

Thus, period = 20 seconds.
