energy is increased to 4E. Why is the new de Broglie wavelength λ/2??

KE = 0.5mv^2 => 4KE => 2v
λ = h/mv
As v has doubled, λ will half.

Kinetic energy increased implies increased speed (as mass stays constant, assuming no relativistic effects).
KE = 0.5mv^2 => 4KE => 2v
λ = h/mv
As v has doubled, λ will half.

Thanks for the quick reply, I'm not too good at Physics.

Don't worry, and feel free to PM me any questions.

An electric motor of input power 100 W raises a mass of 10 kg vertically at a steady speed of 0.5 m s −1 . What is the efficiency of the system? Answer is 50%
A string passes through a smooth thin tube. Masses m and M are attached to the ends of the string. The tube is moved so that the mass m travels in a horizontal circle of constant radius r and at constant speed v. What is equal to M ?
Answer is 𝑚𝑣^2/𝑟𝑔
Here are the other question are didn't quite get in the paper, if you or anyone else could have a go at explaining that would be great

change in mgh = change in 0.5mv^2 (ignoring pos/neg)
-Try it from here. I will post the full solution at the bottom for you (goes for all of them)
2) Efficiency = 100%*(Useful energy out)/(Total energy in)
Consider 1 second:
Energy in = 100J, as Power = 100J/s
(See below for full)
3) See posts 7 and 8.
1, ans)
change in mgh = change in 0.5mv^2
v^2 = 2gh
v = root(2gh)
Change in height doubles and 2g stays the same, so v increases by a factor of root(2)
2, ans)
Efficiency = 100%*(Useful energy out)/(Total energy in)
Consider 1 second:
Energy in = 100J, as Power = 100J/s
Useful energy out = Ke+Change in mgh per second
Ke = 0.5*10*0.5^2 = 1.25
Change in mgh in one second = mg*delta(h) = mg*vt = 10*9.8*0.5*1 = 49
49+1.25 = 50.25
Efficiency = 100%* 50.25/100 = 50.25% = 50% 2sf
3, ans) See post 8.

1) Equate energies, and let d = h
change in mgh = change in 0.5mv^2 (ignoring pos/neg)

2) Efficiency = 100%*(Useful energy out)/(Total energy in)
Consider 1 second:
Energy in = 100J, as Power = 100J/s
(See below for full)
3) Have you got a diagram for this? i.e. Is the tube vertical/horizontal?
1, ans)
change in mgh = change in 0.5mv^2
v^2 = 2gh
v = root(2gh)
Change in height doubles and 2g stays the same, so v increases by a factor of root(2)

49+1.25 = 50.25
Efficiency = 100%* 50.25/100 = 50.25% = 50% 2sf
3, ans) Will do once I know what the set up is.

Thanks a lot, http://filestore.aqa.org.uk/resource...-74081-SQP.PDF its question 29, I thought I'd attached an image sorry.

The weight of mass M is providing the centripetal force of the mass m. It is the only force providing it, so it is equal to it.
Try to work from that.
Answer:
Mg = (mv^2)/r
M = (mv^2)/rg

How did you learn first question, book doesnt tell you and my physics teacher is trash

GPE = mgh = KE = 0.5mv^2
Hope this was of help, or you managed to figure it out yourself.
