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

A model truck A of mass 1.2 kg is travelling due west with a speed of 0.90 m/s . A second truck B of mass 4.0 kg is travelling due east towards A with a speed of 0.35 m/s .


People A and B are taking a lift of mass 500 kg which has constant acceleration and the force from the rope that pulls it is 7500 N. The scales where the people stand show a reading of 720 N and 500 N.


A ball is thrown at speed u = 10.0 m/s at an angle of 30.0 degrees to the ground at height, s = 0. How far does the ball travel horizontally from its starting position? (Ignore air resistance and taking g = 9.81 m/s^2)


Two trains are heading in opposite directions on the same track. Train X has a mass of 16000kg and a speed of 2.8m/s. Train Y has a mass of 12000kg and a speed of 3.1m/s. At what speed do the joined trains move off together immediately after the collison?
