(a) The momentum of the proton is determined as 5.17 x 10⁻¹⁸ kgm/s.

(b) The speed of the proton is determined as  3.1 x 10⁹ m/s.

<h3>Momentum of the proton</h3>

The momentum of the proton is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

where;

  • m is mass of proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
  • v is speed of the proton = ?
<h3>Speed of the proton</h3>

v² = 2K.E/m

v² = (2 x 50 x 10⁹ x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)/(1.67 x 10⁻²⁷)

v² = 9.6 x 10¹⁸

v = 3.1 x 10⁹ m/s

<h3>Momentum of the proton</h3>

P = mv = (1.67 x10⁻²⁷ x 3.1 x 10⁹) = 5.17 x 10⁻¹⁸ kgm/s

The law of reflection is quite useful for mirrors and other flat, shiny surfaces. (This sort of reflection is called specular re
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose initially the plane was horizontal and light was reflected back at some angle θ from the normal .

Now the reflecting surface is twisted so that is becomes inclined at angle alpha .

The reflected light will be deviated from its original direction by angle

2 x alpha .

Similarly when the reflecting surface is further twisted so that it becomes inclined at angle beta then again the reflected beam will deviated by angle

2 x beta

Hence angle between these two reflected beam

= 2 beta - 2 alpha

= 2 ( β - α )

So, angular separation between the rays reflected from the two surfaces

= 2 ( β - α ) .

Answer:

80 J

Explanation:

PE = mgh

PE = (4 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2 m)

PE = 78.4 J and with sig figs, it would be 80 J
