<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • E≈2,5 eV
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

_______________

λ=500 nm = 500·10⁻⁹ m

c=3·10⁸ m/s

h=6,63·10⁻³⁴ J·s = 4,14·10⁻¹⁵ eV·s

_______________

E - ?

_______________

\displaystyle \boldsymbol{E}=h\nu =h \frac{c}{\lambda} =4,14\cdot 10^{-15} \; eV\cdot s\cdot \; \frac{3\cdot 10^8\; m/s}{500\cdot 10^{-9}\; m} =2,484\;  eV\approx \boldsymbol{2,5\; eV}

Two objects with the same mass move with the same speed but in opposite directions. Compare their kinetic energies.
ddd [48]

Answer:

A.  Kinetic energies are equal.

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the bodies will be equal since the mass and speed are the same.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

Mathematically;

           K.E  = \frac{1}{2} m v²

m is the mass

v is the speed

 The kinetic energy is a scalar quantity with no regard for direction.

Your friend says that if Newton’s third law is correct, no object would ever start moving. Here is his argument: You pull a sled
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

You pull a sled exerting a 50 N force on it , sled also exerts a force on you . These forces are action and reaction force , as per third law of Newton . These two forces are equal and  opposite . But they do not act on the same object so they do not cancel each other . They act on different objects , one on the sledge and the other on you . Due to force on sledge , sledge moves in the direction of force or towards you . You will start moving in opposite direction if frictional force of ground is nil or less .

A star is in hydrostatic equilibrium when the outward push of pressure due to core burning is exactly in balance with the inward
viktelen [127]

Answer:

a and b

Explanation:

Hydro static equilibrium holds a star steady and balanced. Whenever a star stops burning hydrogen in its center, there must be evolutionary improvements to maintain equilibrium for the star Of example, if a star's internal pressure and temperature fall, gravity will take over and force the star to contract and heat up, restoring stability. By contrast, if a star's internal pressure and temperature rises, the extra pressure causes the star to widen and cool, restoring balance.

so, according to above explanation options a and b both are true

a) A small increase in the star's internal pressure and temperature causes the star's outer layers to expand and cool.

b) A small decrease in the star's internal pressure and temperature causes the star's outer layers to contract and heat up.
