Photon energy is the energy carried by a single photon with a certain wavelength and frequency. These terms are related by an equation. 
E = hv
where h is the Planck's constant (6.626 x 10-34<span> J s), v is the frequency which is related to the wavelength by:

</span>λv = c where λ is the wavelength and c is the speed of light (3.00 x 108<span> m/s)
</span>
Therefore, the energy equation 
E = hc / <span>λ
E = </span>(6.626 x 10-34<span> J s)</span>(3.00 x 10^8 m/s) / 0.127 m = 1.565 x 10^-24 J

At time t=0 a 2150 kg rocket in outer space fires an engine that exerts an increasing force on it in the +x−direction. This forc
amm1812

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the rocket, m = 2150 kg

At time t=0 a rocket in outer space fires an engine that exerts an increasing force on it in the +x−direction. The force is given by equation :

F=At^2

Here F = 888.93 N when t = 1.25 s

(c) We can find the value of A first as :

F=At^2\\\\A=\dfrac{F}{t^2}\\\\A=\dfrac{888.93}{(1.25)^2}\\\\A=568.91\ N/s^2

The value of A is 568.91\ N/s^2.

(a) Let J is the impulse does the engine exert on the rocket during the 4.0 s interval starting 2.00 s after the engine is fired. It is given in terms of force as :

J=\int\limits {F{\cdot} dt}

Limits will be from 2 s to 2+ 4 = 6 s

It implies :

J=\int\limits^6_2 {At^2{\cdot} dt}\\\\J=A\int\limits^6_2 {t^2{\cdot} dt}\\\\J=A\dfrac{t^3}{3}|_2^6\\\\J=568.91\times \dfrac{1}{3}\times (6^3-2^3)\\\\J=39444.42\ Ns

(b) Impulse is also equal to the change in momentum as :

J=m\Delta v\\\\\Delta v=\dfrac{J}{m}\\\\\Delta v=\dfrac{39444.42}{2150}\\\\\Delta v=18.34\ m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

A small 17 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 3 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?
aksik [14]
KE=1/2mv^2

So from the given information me can plug in the values and find the KE or Kinetic Energy for the canoe;

KE=1/2(17kg)(3m/s)^2
KE=8.5kg*9m^2s^2= 76.5J of Kinetic Energy

Hope this helps, any questions please just ask. Thank you.

When you lift a book from the ground to your desk, what kind of work do you do negative or positive by lifting the book what do
skelet666 [1.2K]
It would be kinetic energy. Let's say the book is weighs 10 Newtons you need to use a force of 10 Newtons to lift the book. In other words it's positive. As you move the book you're giving it energy. Namely potential energy which will turn to kinetic energy if you let it go. So you're changing it's position and energy.

Explain why gases are good insulators?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:Gases do not conduct heat as well as liquids and are therefore good insulators. Gases consist of widely spread out particles, and it takes contact to conduct heat. ... They are insulators if they are not ionized and there are no free charged particles there that can carry electric current.
