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=1x10-10m

A student is measuring the acceleration due to gravity, g. They drop a piece of card from rest, from a vertical height of 0.75m above a light gate. The light gate measures the card's speed as it passes to be 3.84 m/s. Calculate an estimate for g.
