The correct answer is B. Both are directly proportional to the mass and velocity of the object.

Hope this helps

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy of the an object due to its motion.The kinetic energy of an object in motion is given as:

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

As we can see that kinetic energy is directly proportional mass and velocity of an object.

K.E ∝ m
K.E ∝ v

Momentum is the quantity of the motion possessed by the motion in object .

Momentum of the body = P

$P = m\times v$

As we can see that momentum is directly proportional mass and velocity of an object.

P ∝ m
P ∝ v

where :

m = mass of an object

v = velocity of an object

Im not sure what your question is but I will just elaborate. Interstellar dust absorbs more red light than blue light, making stars appear bluer than their true color.

Is it inhumane to keep a cat in one room?

Deffense [45]

So there are a couple of variables to that question. if the room has everything a cat needs then no. if it had food, water, a bed, stuff to keep it occupied, a litter box, sunlight, and some other form of life to keep it company then no it wouldn't be.
But if you locked it in a dark room without any of that stuff yes the cat would die

A light ray in air enters and passes through a block of glass. What can be stated with regard to its speed after it emerges from

Alik [6]

Answer:

Speed is same as that before it entered glass.

Explanation:

Given:

A light ray enters and passes through the glass as shown in the diagram.

We have to analyze its speed.

Speed of light in air is $3\times 10^8\ ms^-^1$ and speed of light in glass is $2.25\times 10^8\ ms^-^1$

Whenever a light ray enters a glass block or slab there is bending of light at the interface of the two media.

So speed of light will decrease in glass medium and again it passes to the air.

Speed of light in air will again increase or will be equivalent to the earlier speed when it was entering the glass block.

Finally

Speed is same as that before it entered glass as it in the same medium (air).

What quantity does the Hamiltonian correspond to? Rest mass Potential energy Total energy Kinetic energy Bohr frequency Lagrangi

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

The correct option is: Total energy

Explanation:

The Hamiltonian operator, in quantum mechanics, is an operator that is associated with the<u> total energy of the system.</u> It is equal to the sum of the total kinetic energy and the potential energy of all the particles of the system.

The Hamiltonian operator was named after the Irish mathematician, William Rowan Hamiltonis denoted and is denoted by H.
