Answer:

Explanation:

1 . The two busses continue together at the same speed.

FALSE STATEMENT .

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 24 m/s to 15 m/s in 12 seconds. What is the automobile’s acceleration?

Nimfa-mama [501]

Average Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)

= 15 m/s - 24 m/s = -9 m/s

Acceleration = (-9 m/s) / (12 sec) = - 0.75 m/s² .

A photon has momentum of magnitude 8.30×10−28 kg⋅m/s . Part APart complete What is the energy of this photon? Give your answer i

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Momentum of photon= $8.3\times 10^{-28} kg.m/s$

a. We have to find the energy of this photon.

Speed of photon= $c=3\times 10^8 m/s$

We know that

Momentum=p= $\frac{h}{\lambda}$

Where

h= $6.63\times 10^{-34}$ J-s=Plank's constant

$\lambda=$ Wavelength of photon

$\lambda=\frac{h}{p}$

$\lambda=\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}}{8.3\times 10^{-28}}$

$\lambda=7.99\times 10^{-7}$ m

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

$E=\frac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{7.99\times 10^{-7}}$

$E=2.49\times 10^{-19}$ J

Hence, the energy of photon= $2.49\times 10^{-19}$ J

B.Energy of photon in electron volt= $\frac{2.49\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}=1.55 eV$

Energy of photon= $1.55eV$

C.Wavelength of photon = $\lambda=7.99\times 10^{-7}m$

What is the magnitude and direction (right or left) of the

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: 12 N to the right

Explanation:

If we calculate the net force acting on the box, we will have:

<u>In y-component:</u>

$Fy_{net}=F_{n}+F_{g}$ (1)

Where $F_{n}=12 N$ is the Normal force, directed upwards and $F_{g}=-12 N$ is the weight of the box (gravity force), directed downwards.

$Fy_{net}=12 N-12 N$ (2)

$Fy_{net}=0 N$ (3) Hence the net force in the vertical component is zero

<u>In x-component:</u>

$Fx_{net}=F_{left}+F_{right}$ (4)

Where $F_{left}=-3 N$ and $F_{right}= 15 N$

$Fx_{net}=-3 N + 15 N$ (5)

$Fx_{net}=12 N$ (6) This is the net force in the horizontal component

Therefore, the total net force acting on the box is 12 N directed to the right
