A boy is standing motionless on a skateboard. He throws a basketball forward. Describe his motion.

Physics

Answer:

Random motion

Explanation:

If the boy throws the basketball forward while at a position on the skateboard, the motion of the ball will be a random motion since we are not told if the ball is moving on a straight line when thrown forward.

In this case, the boy will tend to move in the direction of the ball. Since the ball is moving in a random manner, the motion of the boy will also be a random motion.

A random motion is a motion of a body in a zig zag manner. It is also known as Brownian motion e.g motion of a buzzing mosquito, motion of a smoke coming out of a chimney etc.

Science If you want to find the energy quantum of light, you multiply the frequency of the radiation (v) by "h". What is "h"?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

"h" signifies Planck's constant

Explanation:

In the equation energy E = h X v

The "h" there signifies Planck's constant

Planck's constant is a value, that shows the rate at which the energy of a photon increases/decreases, as the frequency of its electromagnetic wave changes.

It was named after Max Planck who discovered this unique relationship between the energy of a light wave and its frequency.

Planck's constant, "h" is usually expressed in Joules second

Planck's constant = 6.62607015 \times 10^{-34}  J.s

If a Styrofoam ball and a steel ball are the exact same size & shape,which has more mass?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Steel

Explanation:

Mass is density times volume.

m = ρV

Since they have the same size and shape, they have the same volume.

Steel has a higher density than Styrofoam, so at the same volume, the steel ball will have more mass.

If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by what multiplicative factor does the intensity change?
alina1380 [7]

If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by a multiplicative factor of 4, the intensity changes.

Intensity of sound is the sound which is perpendicular to sound wave propogation per unit area. It is dependent on the Surface of source sound.

Intensity is the Power per unit area. Its SI unit is Watt/m².

As we move away from a source of sound, the sound starts to diminish. This is due to the decreasing sound intensity with distance.

It can also be understood by the fact that on increasing distance, the Power radiated by the source spreads over a larger area. Hence, the Intensity decreases gradually.

Since, Intensity is proportional to the square of the distance.

Hence, on doubling the distance, Intensity reduces to one fourth of the initial intensity or reduces by a multiplicative factor of 4.
