In quantum mechanics, particularly the wave-particle theory, it states that light behaves like a wave or a particle. For the wave behavior, its movement is measured in wavelengths while the time for each wavelength is the frequency. For the particle behavior, according to Planck, the energy of the photon (light particle) is determined as

E = hc/wavelength, where h is the Planck's constant (<span>6.626 x 10-34 J-s per particle) and c is the speed of light ( 3 x 10^8m/s)

As you can see, the energy of the photon is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to the wavelength with the Planck's constant as the constant of proportionality.</span>

This diagram shows that Al can see the reflections of Ed and Fred in the mirror. Which two students can both see the reflections
vazorg [7]

Answer:

  Cy and Di

Explanation:

We cannot tell exactly where the right end of the mirror is, but if we assume it is short of allowing Ed and Fred to see each other, we have the following:

  Cy can see Cy and everyone to the right

  Fred can see Di and everyone to the left

The only two that can see all of Cy, Di, Ed, and Fred are Cy and Di.

_____

If the mirror extends far enough to the right for Ed to see Fred, then all of Cy, Di, and Ed can see the four folks of interest.

According to Newtons third law of motion when one object exerts a force on a second object what is true about the forces?
fomenos

Answer:

D.They are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction

Explanation:

  • Newton's third law states that the action force is always associated with a reaction force.
  • When a body 'A' exerts a force on body 'B', it is called the force of action.
  • When the body 'B' in turn resist the force of 'A' is called the reaction force. It is the reactive force acted upon by the body 'B' on 'A'.
  • This reaction force is equal in magnitude of the action force.
  • If the two bodies remain in the same horizontal line, the 'A' exerts a force in the direction towards 'B' and the body 'B' exerts a reaction force in the direction towards 'A'.
  • Hence, the two forces that are exerted by the bodies are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Examine the scenario.
vovangra [49]

Answer:

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that a vector quantity is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction.

Based on this definition, we can already rule out the following two choices:

distance: 40 km

speed: 40 km/h

Since they only have magnitude, they are not vectors.

Then, the following option:

velocity: 5 km/h north

is wrong, because the car is moving south, not north.

So, the correct choice is

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

In fact, the acceleration can be calculated as

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 40 km/h is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 5 s is the time

Substituting,

a=\frac{40 km/h-0}{5 s}=8 km/h/s

And since the sign is positive, the direction is the same as the velocity (south).
