Both matter and light have been demonstrated to exhibit wave-like and particle-like behavior.

Light as a wave: light can diffract & refract

Light as a particle: photoelectric effect, Compton scattering

Matter as a wave: Davisson-Germer experiment

Matter as a particle: find a picture of any kinematics problem in a high school physics textbook

Choice D

What other types of energy are present when turning a generator that were not mention in question ? Explain where in the process

klemol [59]

Answer:

When an object is in motion, there is energy associated with that object. Why should that be the case? Moving objects are capable of causing a change, or, put differently, of doing work. For example, think of a wrecking ball. Even a slow-moving wrecking ball can do a lot of damage to another object, such as an empty house. However, a wrecking ball that is not moving does not do any work

A school bus has a mass (including the driver and passengers) of 1.64 times 10^4 kg and is driving north at a speed of 15.2 km/h

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of bus along with travelers travelling in North direction is $m_1=1.6\times 10^4 kg$

speed of bus towards North $v_1=15.2 km/h\approx 4.22\ m/s$

mass of bus travelling in South direction is $m_2=1.578\times 10^4 kg$

speed of bus $v_2=12.2 km/h\approx 3.38\ m/s$

mass of each Passenger in south moving bus $m_0=64.8 kg$

Momentum of North moving bus

$P_1=m_1\times v_1$

$P_1=1.6\times 10^4\times 4.22$

$P_1=6.768\times 10^4 kg-m/s$

Momentum with south moving bus

$P_2=m_2\times v_2+n\cdot m_0\times v_2$

$P_2=(1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8 )\cdot 3.38$

For total momentum to be towards south

$P_2-P_1$ should be greater than 0

thus for least value of n

$P_2=P_1$

$(1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8 )\cdot 3.38=6.768\times 10^4$

$1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8=2.0023\times 10^4$

$n=\frac{4243.6686}{64.8}=65.48\approx 66$

There is strong evidence that Europa, a satellite of Jupiter, has a liquid ocean beneath its icy surface. Many scientists think

dangina [55]

Answer:

4.44 rpm

Explanation:

$\omega$ = Angular speed

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Europa = $\frac{3138000}{2}\ m$

R = Radius of arm = 6 m

The acceleration due to gravity is given by

$g=\frac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow g=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 4.8\times 10^{22}}{\left(\frac{3138000}{2}\right)^2}\\\Rightarrow g=1.3\ m/s^2$

Here the centripetal acceleration of the arm and acceleration due to gravity are equal

$a_c=\omega^2R$

$a_c=g\\\Rightarrow \omega^2R=1.3\\\Rightarrow \omega^2\times 6=1.3\\\Rightarrow \omega=\sqrt{\frac{1.3}{6}}\\\Rightarrow \omega=0.46547\ rad/s$

Converting to rpm

$1\ rad/s=\frac{60}{2\pi}\ rpm$

$0.46547\ rad/s=0.46547\times \frac{60}{2\pi}\ rpm=4.44\ rpm$

The angular speed of the arm is 4.44 rpm
