Acertain rifle bullet has a mass of 8.13 g. calculate the de broglie wavelength of the bullet traveling at 1337 miles per hour.

Mass of the bullet (m) = 8.13 g = 0.00813 kg

velocity of the bullet (v) = 1337 miles/hr

The de Broglie wavelength (∧) of an object of mass (m) travelling at a velocity (v) is given as:

∧ = h/m*v

where h = Planck's constant = 6.626 *10^-34 kgm2/s

Convert velocity from miles/hr to m/s

1 mile/hr = 0.447 m/s

1337 miles/hr = 0.447*1337 = 597.64 m/s

∧ = 6.626*10^-34 m2.Kg.s-1/0.00813 kg * 597.64 ms-1

∧ = 1.363*10^-34 m

Solution:

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
