Answer:

(a) 490 N on earth

(b) 80 N on earth

(c) 45.4545 kg on earth

(d) 270.27 kg on moon

Explanation:

We have given 1 kg = 9.8 N = 2.2 lbs on earth

And 1 kg = 1.6 N = 0.37 lbs on moon

(a) We have given mass of the person m = 50 kg

As it is given that 1 kg = 9.8 N

So 50 kg = 50×9.8 =490 N

(b) Mass of the person on moon = 50 kg

As it is given that on moon 1 kg = 1.6 N

So 50 kg = 50×1.6 = 80 N

(c) We have given that weight of the person on the earth = 100 lbs

As it is given that 1 kg = 2.2 lbs on earth

So 100 lbs = 45.4545 kg

(d) We have given weight of the person on moon = 100 lbs

As it is given that 1 kg = 0.37 lbs

So 100 lbs $\frac{100}{0.37}=270.27kg$

Answer:

An increase in air temperature because of its compression.

Explanation:

The Gay-Lussac's Law states that a gas pressure is directly proportional to its temperature in an enclosed system to constant volume.

$P = kT$

<em>where P: is the gas pressure, T: is the gas temperature and k: is a constant.</em>

Therefore, due to Gay-Lussac's Law, when the plunger is pushed down very rapidly, the pressure of the air increase, which leads to its temperature increase. That is why cotton flashes and burns.

A sodium atom will absorb light with a wavelength near 589 nm if the light is within 10 MHz of the resonant frequency. The atomi

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

i)20369 photons

ii) 40 ps

Explanation:

Momentum of one Sodium atom:

$P=m*v =600m/s*23amu*\frac{1 kg}{6.02*10^{23}amu}\\P=2.29*10^{-23}kgm/s$

In other to stop it, it must absorb the same momentum in photons:

$P=2.29*10^{-23}kgm/s=n_{photons}*\frac{h_{planck}}{\lambda}\\=n*\frac{6.63*10^{-34}}{589*10^{-9}} \\==>n=20369 photons$

Now, for the minimun time, we use the speed of light and the wavelength. For the n photons:

$t=n*T=n*\frac{\lambda}{c} =20369*\frac{589nm}{3*10^{8}m/s}=4*10^{-11} second=40 ps$
