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

A firefighter with a weight of 756 N slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 2.96 m/s2, directed downward. What are
Katen [24]

Answer:

a) F = 527.65 N, Force applied is upwards.

b)F = - 527.65 N, where, negative sign depicts Force is applied downwards.

Explanation:

Data provided:

Weight of the firefighter = 756 N

Mass of the firefighter = 756/9.8 = 77.14 Kg

Acceleration, a = 2.96 m/s²

a) In the absence of the pole the firefighter would have been moving down with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s (i.e the acceleration due to the gravity), but due to the presence of the pole the acceleration of the firefighter has been reduced. thus, a force is applied by the pole on the firefighter to reduce the acceleration.

therefore, we have

F = ma(net) = 77.14 × (9.8-2.96) = 527.65 N, Force applied is upwards.

B) According to the Newton's third law, the force will be equal and opposite to the force in the part a)

thus, we have

F = - 527.65 N

Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

5,2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of light C=3.0×10^8 m/s.

Generally the equation for Average Speed is mathematically given by

V_{avg}=\frac{d}{t}

Where

d=Distance between the Earth and the sun

d=1.5*10^11m

Therefore

t=\frac{d}{V_{avg}}

t=\frac{1.5*10^11m}{3.0×10^8 m/s.}

t=5*10^2s

Since m and n is given in the form of

m*10^n

Therefore

m=5 & n=2
