I think its B because classical physics describes light as waves

Classical physics considered light to behave as a wave in all environments; it had a set amplitude, frequency etc. The problem was that this meant that there was a continuous variation in its properties, hence if the amplitude of the light was incresed by a bit, a phenomenon like the phhotoelectric one would become only marginally more apparent. However, in this case, there is a cutoff point which means that the only-wave theory had to be wrong.

Answer:

Impulse = 322.5[kg*m/s], the answer is D

Explanation:

This method it is based on the principle of momentum and the amount of movement; and used to solve problems involving strength, mass, speed and time.

If units of the SI are used, the magnitude of the impulse of a force is expressed in N * s. however, when remembering the definition of the newton.

$N*S=(kg*m/s^{2} )*s = kg*m/s$

Now replacing the values on the following equation that express the definition of impulse

$Impulse = Force * Time\\\\Impulse = 215 * 1.5 = 322.5 [kg*m/s]$

13.<br>14. Why does a person feel weightlessness during freefall?

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

When in free fall, the only force acting upon your body is the force of gravity - a non-contact force. Since the force of gravity cannot be felt without any other opposing forces, you would have no sensation of it. You would feel weightless when in a state of free fall.
