An electron of mass 9.11x10^(-31) is fired from an electron gun at 7x10^6 m/s. What size object will the electron need to interact with in order to diffract?

Momentum of electron=mv=6.377x10^-24 kg m/s

λ=h/mv=6.63x10-34/6.377x10-24=1.039...x10-10=1x10-10

An object is let in free fall from a platform 20m high above Earth's surface. Describe the event in terms of energy and thus determine the speed of the object when it hits ground. Air resistance is negligible and gravitational acceleration is constant.


A car of mass m travelling with a velocity v comes to rest over a distance d in time t. The constant frictional force acting on the car while it is braking is found using:


calculate the resistivity in a 1.2m length of cylindrical wire with radius 1cm. The resistance of the wire is 0.01 kilo Ohms


A light wave has a wavelength of 420nm, calculate the energy of this wave in joules.
